I played another game of Together Forever at the weekend. This entry is pretty much going to be me splurging about my character, if you’re not interested I’m almost certainly going to do another brain dump about games and processing later on in the week. If you can’t remember what Together Forever is then I’ve … Read More
Content Warning: Self-Harm, Disordered Eating – rambly format I am on a complete high following an online LARP on Saturday. I really am enjoying the Together Forever setting, (though admittedly I haven’t played the poly iteration of the game) I’ve written before about it’s dystopian future dating premise. This game was based around the couples … Read More
Content Warning: LARP rambly ramble, real life mental health stuff including things that are personal to me. Don’t say I didn’t warn you Last year I played Together Forever for the first time and I completely loved it. This weekend I signed up for the elongated three day version called Together Forever & Ever. This … Read More
Contains Spoilers for SparkLRP’s games Thread and Weave. (Currently neither are intended to be run again but, y’know.) I’ve come to the conclusion that my preferences in LARP are hugely similar to my preferences in art. Had a conversation with a friend about when you worry if your game idea is pretentious or not and … Read More
I am struggling to be motivated to do much of anything right now. The pandemic is almost over and I’ve been living in a state of reasonably high alert for over a year now. I know all the things I should be doing to combat this stress reaction, hell I’ve even been able to do … Read More
The prompt for today is my favourite way of interacting with the queer community. My instinctive answer seems strange to me, because it’s dancing. I’m not really a big dancer, I mean that it’s not something I know much about. I got told to leave a ballet class as a child because I have no … Read More
I’ve done a couple of online LARPs this year, that is to say, they were all *called* LARPS and proved that some LARPERs have clearly not done much roleplay by post, tabletop or forum RP. LARP stands for Live Action Roleplay guys, not just Roleplay… ahem, right that’s my irritating pedantry out of the way. … Read More
I listen to a lot of True Crime podcasts. I read a lot of True Crime too. I’m aware of patterns of behaviour of criminals, and to be fair the interesting ones are very similar to the boring ones they just tend to be smarter, more personable or luck into a blind spot in the … Read More
My main problem is that a great deal of the structure of my week remains the same. The media, social media, everything is talking about how life has changed and it has – queuing for supermarkets, not getting to close to people, most of my LARP activities have been cancelled. However, my work week remains … Read More
I had today off. I spent it dyeing my hair. I played some Minecraft on a shared server and some multiplayer Stardew Valley. It was all very gentle and mostly involved making things look nice on a screen. I didn’t go out all day and I feel so much less stressed than I have in … Read More
