This weekend: Hangout, Krvomeđe and your last chance to participate in Izgon larp


Yup, it's that time of the month again. Time for the third Larp Group Hangout! This time it will be about a touchy subject: drugs and alcohol. Which is quite fitting as April 20th is a cannabis day in North America. Also, in a very interesting turn of events, this has just recently been discussed in some larp circles here in Croatia. It should be quite interesting. And as always, there's a live chat on Youtube to answer any questions you might have. It will be streamed live on Larping.org channel this Saturday at 5 PM central european time (11 AM for east coast Americans).

Unfortunately, we haven't been able to get our regular larper, Callie. So we've got another person as a fourth member of our panel for this month. His name is Tom Miller. The rest of the crew is familiar - Kaza Marie, the Larp Girl who's organizing this Hangout, Martin Straarup (Larp Forge/Lazy Larper), and yours truly. If you missed our first two panels, here they are:



On Sunday, there will be standard battlegames on Krvomeđe. From what people have announced, it seems it will have a good attendance. Spring is here, and unless it rains heavily (knock wood) everything should be fine and with far greater attendance than it had this winter.


Last, but not the least there's Izgon larp ("Exile"). It's currently running, and has been running for almost four weeks by now. Just over one more week and it's over. Stuff has happened that I did not believe to be possible, and it's just about to enter its final week. There's still a chance to be a part of this game world in some way - you can still sign up here. This link will work until Saturday evening. Then it will be taken down, as well as the entire site which will then be remade into its new form - it will remain forever as the documentation center of this larp, of which a significant amount of text has already been written, for everyone to research or try to recreate...

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'...

TESC IV: Ebonheart review

TESC is a Croatian Elder Scrolls-inspired larp, started by Marko Zadro and ran by him and his team for more than 4 years so far. During its first two years of existence, four larps were ran (the second was the one actually counted as first, as first larp was counted as playtest) which were well-received, well-visited and raised the visual level of Croatian fantasy larps. Yet TESC IV: Ebonheart was a whole different beast altogether. General ideas were formed by organizers far before the logistics to do them became available, and 2.5 years elapsed between the previous larp of the series and this one. Also, this is the first larp so far directly inspired by the organizer's (and mine) favorite game of the series, Morrowind. Inspired by the European blockbuster castle larps, TESC IV became the first Croatian blockbuster castle larp - although at the far lower entrance price (€85 as opposed to €500+ price typical of those). While this means production values weren't exact...
