In 2010, before going to Knudepunkt, before going to Solmukohta, before starting this blog, and even before reading Leaving Mundania, I talked to the French audience of Les GNiales about my experience larping in the USA (mostly Vampire) and Switzerland (all kinds).
Two years later, here […]
Conquest of Mythodea (CoM) is the largest larp event in the world, with roughly 7000 participants. I attended it in 2010 and 2011, but this year I decided not to and organized a larp for 4 people instead.
Why I originally went
Curiosity: what could a larp with several thousand characters look […]
While I couldn’t attend the larpwriter summer school (which looks awesome, if only for the mixing desk of larp), I did write a larp this summer, and learned or re-learned many things in the process.
Technocculte
As its name suggests, Technocculte deals both with technology and with the […]
My first foray into English-language larp documentation (aka bragging about my larp scene in an international setting) was a talk about larp in Switzerland at Knudepunkt 2011. I have re-recorded it in video form so you can enjoy my sweet French accent in something else than a steampunk setting. I’ve […]
Après un article cathartico-humoral, voici donc ma participation à la grande campagne nombrilo-feel good-coming out orchestrée par Tonton Alias. L’idée est de présenter ce que la pratique du jeu de rôle nous a apporté dans la vie. Comme je joue sur table et en grandeur nature, je parlerai des deux. Si vous […]
You’ve seen the turntable and the clothes, now it’s time for the accessories!
The gun
Apart from goggles, Nerf guns are probably the most overdone steampunk props. Hey, I needed one for my character in that steampunk larp so reused the modded black LongStrike I bought for
Lizzie Stark blew my mind. I used to say that Nordic Larp was the best book about larp and Organiser une murder party en 6 étapes the best pdf (how to organize a small one-shot larp). I just finished reading Leaving Mundania and now I need to add […]
American larpers should play more one-shot games! In 2007, I contributed a few segments called Little differences to Gamer:The Podcasting, a cool larp podcast. The idea was to add a european perspective to this US-centric podcast via voice messages. In the “Feedback Show #2” episode , I urged Americans to play fewer […]
Du petit huis-clos médical à organiser soi-même aux gros GN méd-fan ouverts à tous, voici le programme des GN présentés à GN’Idée 2012, avec même des petits bonus depuis la convention.
Marc “Bomber” Lauper is one of those gifted Swiss larpers who not only create really cool stuff, but don’t mind sharing it during local larp conventions (yay GN’Idée!). He even went the extra mile and translated his tutorials for doing easy and cheap wounds/fresh zombie makeup so that *you* get to try them […]
