Maksimir 62 announced

As it has been said after Jaska 11's cancelation last week, larp Maksimir 62 will take place this Saturday, October 20th. Like last year's Maksimir 50, this will be a longer event, and Maksimir 62 will last 12 hours in total - from 10 AM to 10 PM. It will not be 24 hours of Jaska 11 which it tries to partially replace, but it's definitely more than usual four(ish) hours that Maksimir larps typically last.

Players are advised to bring warm clothes, water and some food for the duration of the event.

If you joined us recently and don't know what Maksimir larps are, here's a short breakdown. Ognjeni Mač larp campaign - placed in common Croatian fantasy larp world - is mainly played on two locations: Jaska larps - multi-day camping events in Gornja Kupčina near Jastrebarsko - and Maksimir larps - single-day non-camping events played in Zagreb's largest park, Maksimir, usually around fifth lake. No entrance fee is typically charged for Maksimir larps.

It's worth noting that the game's in-character location will be a different one than the usual one on Maksimir, as a continuation of Maksimir 61's story.

I won't be present on the event because I'll be in Hungary on Chronicles of Demgard instead. However, if you're going on Maksimir 62 and you're willing to write a nice guest review of it (in English), send it to me and I'll gladly publish it :)

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
