Nobody Expects A Drunken Daedra (Getting Ready for TESC II: Soulburst)

In a couple of days, the second (full) event of the Croatian-based Elder Scrolls Chronicles larp will take place.

The Fanlarp (Full Moon Special #6)

Happy Full Moon! And it’s a thirteenth. And Friday, to add to that – plenty of scary fun to be had in the Moonlight… or anywhere else, for that matter. They say the next Friday Thirteenth Full Moon will be in 2049! So you better take good care to honour this one. Let me add […]

A Quintet of Larping Prejudice (Five by Five #3)

Geekery (lovely word, just trying it out), at lest where I’m from, often includes some form of derivative work made by fans of a certain universe (or fandom, to be politically correct). Some larps (like, say, these) can also be seen as a […]
