Sunčev Potočić introduction


The Year of Suffering is over...




Rulers and states were toppled, and new ones grew overnight just to disappear equally fast into the dust of the past... Night has swallowed famous heroes from which a lot was once expected, and their places have been taken by new faces who forged their destinies amidst chaos and insecurity, as heroes of today... But how long will it last?


Insecurity in Eastern Anarchy, a danger lurking even when they thought themselves the safest... Bergamot and Erlindol gone into flames, their lands added to the Dragon Court, only for its Count to later denounce them and curse them... Paradise Peaks were shaken by the theft of the Crystal, and rage of nature found them in the form of a great draught. The Shield having a greater role in everyone's life each day, and since not that long ago they're Dragon's tax collectors... And from the east, Knights of Green Banner are coming and forming a stronghold in Sun's Glen, which then comes under the direct protectorate of Vanor...


General Igor arrives at Sun Stream to receive diplomats from the surrounding lands and beyond, as well as any individuals who'd like to meet him. Almost everyone is a welcome guest, and serious discussions and negotiations cannot end in any other way than in a true spirit of Sun's Glen and Vanor - music, food, drink and joy.


However, in this age of great mistrust, as one hand is open in greeting, the other is pulling out the knife behind the back, we're all asking who our friend is, and who is a snake just waiting for the right moment... Do the chains of fear and paranoia have a hold on you, or are you looking ahead bravely, seeing bright future almost in reach?

This epic introduction (which I translated in full this time, including the names of places) is the introduction for the Sunčev Potočić (Sun Stream) feast which I announced some time earlier. However, this is its official announcement in Croatian, available here.

The game will start at 5 PM, and meals should be paid in advance (last day will be Feb 24th). And there's not much else to say since it was already mentioned in a previous Sunčev Potočić article... But this epic introduction was certainly worthwhile an additional article. All Croatian LARPs should have a decently written introduction like this one. It really helps set the mood.

The 15 rules of larp

The following 15 rules (warning: strong language) were written some years ago in Great Britain, and have been pretty much generally accepted on the British larp scene. Especially popular is rule 7 - widely known by its number and commonly considered to be the most imortant rule of all (and I agree). Even the biggest British larp forum has taken Rule7 as its name. The rules have been originally created by the Drunken Monkeys and edited by Rick Wynne who added some extra stuff in the explanations to make them more understandable to international audience (it still contains some British larp lingo though), more work-safe and to throw in his two cents. (copy of the original wording is available here ) 1. Don’t play a mighty warrior; play a warrior and be mighty. Don’t label your character. As soon as you say that you are the best swordsman in the land someone will come along and kick your ass. Just get into the mindset of the person and role-play it out. 2. No one cares about you

Mind's Eye Theatre: Werewolf The Apocalypse rulebook review

Available on DriveThruRPG Just under three years ago I wrote a review for  Mind’s Eye Theatre: Vampire the Masquerade rulebook . It was the first book published by By Nights Studio, and a year later I reviewed one of its supplements - Storyteller Secrets . Now, after a long period of work, after the success of their kickstarter campaign, By Night Studios finally released the full version of the new larp rules for Werewolf the Apocalypse setting. This was preceded by various alpha, beta, gamma, delta and omega slices - each containing a different playtest version of the rules, slowly released from September last year until July this year. First impressions were that the artwork is very cool, and that the book is HUGE. Numbering at 762 pages, that's over 200 pages more than Vampire the Masquerade. But before I start going in-depth, I'd like to mention that this blog's readers come from various backgrounds - and I'll adjust my review accordingly. I assume I'

Larps in EU

Today Croatia has acceeded into the European Union as its 28th state. EU has loads of diverse and different larp scenes and cultures in them. Some of them are local, some are national, some encompass all speakers of a certain language, some are regional, and some are world-famous. Here's a short window into a couple of EU larps and larp scenes, carefully selected and profiled by the criteria of "those I actually visited myself" and "those who bothered to answer my survey on facebook on a short notice", with a dash of "this is like elementary culture you should know". So this is not a full list - not even close - and not even the fully representative one, despite it being the largest post on this blog ever. Even keeping track of the Croatian scene is quite a job and there are still many language barriers around. But hopefully you'll find plenty of new and interesting material here. If you want your larp represented - whether it's battle
