My larps

I figure this would be a good place to showcase the larps I created, worked on or helped with the most, as well as the other larp-related projects, conventions, papers etc.

Chamber larps

Larp jam larps and nanolarps

  • Lobes for Business - a five player, 20-30 minute competitive larp minigame in which players portray Ferengi traders in a Star Trek universe, created for Sekcija 31 program at SFeraKon 2021.
  • Five Minutes of Love - (with Yaraslau Kot, Marie Koleva and Petar Lozev) - a five player, 20 minute larp with four acts lasting five minutes each. All characters except one communicate in a non-verbal fashion. Created during the larp jam on PoRtaL VI.
  • Half a Portal - (with Zvonimir Barać and Martin Gašparić) - a small larp jam project done at Terrible Creations workshop in 2017 that was supposed to be a cyberpunk voodoo game about space exploration, but quickly turned into a spell slinging madhouse. A 30 minute chamber larp for 6-10 players. All materials are freely available.
  • Who let the dog out - (with Matija Mihoković and Tamas Balog) - a short larp about family inheritance drama, perception, secret agents and aliens - created during the nanolarp workshop at PoRtaL 5.
  • Od braka do braka, "Prijatelji", Daleko, Vjera i moć, Understanding humanity - five minilarps, part of the art challenge I took on Facebook
  • (Re)union - (with Ivana Delač, Vesna Kurilić, Marko Zadro, Brittany Rastsmith) - a modern one-shot larp about a certain rich family for 10 people... It was a "mystery larp" created on PoRtaL convention in under 48 hours by the team as a part of the Create a larp workshop. It was run on March 3rd, 2013.

Past projects:

  • Izgon - a quad of pervasive urban fantasy/SF one-shot larps. Fully documented, documentation is freely available. Spawned a chamber larp Izgon: The Experiment and several media as it's legacy, and it's been novelized by Ivana Delač.
  • Noćne Kronike - a Vampire: the Masquerade Sabbat chronicle. For a short time it had a werewolf larp ongoing in the same world, culminating in the Week of Darkness pervasive event. Few of those Werewolf events might still happen on occasion.
  • Terra Nova - a fantasy campaign which ran from 2012-2015, influenced by German and Nordic larp
  • Camarilla Agram - a former Vampire: the Masquerade Camarilla chronicle ran by a rotating group of organizers.
  • Ognjeni mač - Gozba na Banovom Brijegu: 3 fantasy events (one in 2009., 2010. and 2011.) under Ognjeni Mač, in the common Croatian fantasy larp world. Also, coorganized Jaska 4 larp (July 2009)
  • Krvomeđe - coorganized Amtgard events (Rajski Vrhovi 16 and 17 in 2012, 18 in 2013, and Dec. 2011 event) and several battlegames on Krvomeđe


Larp rulesets I worked on:

  • ConQuest of Mythodea - translated from English and German into Croatian
  • Amtgard 8.0 - translating from English into Croatian (work in progress)
  • Ognjeni Mač 2.0 - some suggestions I made (like the multiclass system) got incorporated in rules
  • Simple Larp System - a set of simple 1 page fantasy rules (in English and Croatian)

Conventions:

  • PoRtaL (March 1st - 3rd, 2013.) - coorganized. It was the first larp convention in Croatia and region. Also did several presentations, workshops and larps on it.
  • PoRtaL3 (February 28 - March 2nd, 2015) -  was the main organizer of PoRtaL3 in Zagreb.
  • Done a number of talks, larps, panels and workshops on other PoRtaL conventions, and several other sci-fi, fantasy and gaming conventions in general.

Papers:

  • The Croatian Larp Scene (New England Interactive Literature. "Game Wrap Volume 3". 2019. Page 34)
  • Promotion of Larp in Croatia (Truhlář, Michal. "Odraž se dokud můžeš: sborník larpové konference Odraz 2012", powerprint s.r.o., Praha 2012)

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...
