Slaaneshifying Sornob: a corset for Conquest ( Mythodea 2013 recap, part 1 of 3 )

On 10 October 2013 · 1 Comment

With 6000 players and 1500 NPCs, Conquest of Mythodea is the largest larp event in the world, held every August in Brokeloh, Germany. It features several hundred Francophones who usually refer to the event as «Conquest» (with a nasal «con»). In this classic fantasy environment, the continent of Mythodea attracts settlers from all […]

Larp critique: Mad about the Boy

On 1 October 2013 · 6 Comments

Most of my exposure to Nordic larp goodness comes from attending Knutepunkt, and Mad about the Boy (MatB) is no exception. I remember a presentation in 2011, and a quick chat with Trine Lise Lindahl (one of the authors) in the KP cafeteria, telling her how cool this stuff was, and something like […]

Downtown Boogeek: Summer Music Edition

On 6 September 2013 · Leave a Comment

Last night’s Downtown Boogeek Music Edition was actually Suburboogeek, since it relocated to the outskirts of Lausanne. Home-made vegetarian pizza replaced fancy burgers and a great-Spanish-red-wine-whose-name-I-forgot was added to the English and Swiss selection of amber beers. But labels like “stoner” and “shoegazing” were still discussed, so traditions were upheld.

Artist – Album […]

Le cataphile

On 19 May 2013 · 2 Comments

Il y a des livres comme ça, qu’on vous prête quand on a rien demandé. On se dit d’abord que merde, sa pile à lire est déjà assez grande comme ça. Et puis on se dit que si la personne s’est donné le mal de vous apporter le bouquin, ça vaut peut-être le coup.

Tadjélé – récits d’exil

On 12 May 2013 · 5 Comments

Attention trucs persos, passez si ça vous gave, c’est mon blog, je fais ce que je veux.

1. Les disclaimers d’usage à mes critiques d’oeuvres de Léo Henry et Jacques Mucchielli s’appliquent. Je ne connais pas bien Stéphane Perger, le troisième créateur/illustrateur, mais il m’a peint de telles dédicaces que je ne suis […]

Knutepunkt 2013 – A subjective recap – Part 4 aka The End, Finally!

On 2 May 2013 · 1 Comment

 

So much for keeping this to three parts… Maybe next year it’ll be shorter. Maybe. At least I’m done, and I can use my evenings for other things than typing con reports. Enjoy the grand finale.

 

Collaborative vs. competitive larping

A good example of taking a KP-style look at an “obvious” topic in […]

Knutepunkt 2013 – A subjective recap – Part 3

On 29 April 2013 · 3 Comments

Friday morning is the time I started missing items due a subtle combination of having to finish slides and nocturnal hedonism (for the more hormonal among you, this does include drinking, good conversation, learning about stuff etc, i.e. all the non-official-larp-item-related pleasures that derive from nightly activities at KP. For more, read this page […]

Knutepunkt 2013 – A subjective recap – Part 2

Note: if I forgot your name or you want it removed etc, please let me know, in general all corrections welcome (contact form or comments).

Thursday was the day of migration to the official convention site, KP magic proving that dragging a suitcase in cold weather and a 1h30-long bus ride can fly by […]

Knutepunkt 2013 – A subjective recap – Part 1

On 23 April 2013 · 7 Comments

Here is my traditional report of the “nodal point” Nordic larp convention, this year held in Haraldvangen, Norway. For general frivolous comments, I guess part 1 of my Solmukohta 2012 report still applies. Maybe more waxed moustaches for men and more orange hair for women than last year? Anyway, on to the goodies.
