C’était la fin des années 90 et comme beaucoup de rôlistes j’avais commencé le GN sans le savoir avec les Soirées Enquêtes de SPSR. Ma première fut l’excellente Dieu est mort de G.E. Ranne qui permettait de jouer physiquement les patrons de ses personnages d’INS/MV, au chaud, avec ses potes, sans avoir à […]
Five days after -and still reeling from- that Swedish Battlestar Galactica larp, it was time to try something completely different. But on a Friday night, after a long work week, three hours of total train rides to and from snow-covered La-Chaux-de-Fonds, having to book a hotel room as game finished after the last […]
For context, please read the previous post, recapping my experience during the English-language run of the larp The Monitor Celestra, organized by Alternaliv AB and Bardo AB in Sweden, 8-10-March 2013.

After the tough parts, it’s time to celebrate the good stuff that came out of running Technocculte. Player feedback is still flowing in so I’ll summarize once I get it all in, the comments below are, just like the “fails” post, my own assessment of the game.
Emotions
Players had […]
Over the past two days I ran five sessions of Technocculte, split over two nights (for more on this <2h, 4-player game, click here). Some things were great, some not-so-great, so I’ll start with the «could have been better» stuff so that I don’t forget it. A lot of it is common sense, […]
I spend most of my time in social circles where people rarely listen to hip-hop. For some it comes from lack of exposure, but for others it’s a sort of blanket dismissal of the genre. As I don’t take “no” for an answer and as there are many reasons to dislike hip-hop, I use of […]
In 1959, Roger Vadim released Les liaisons dangereuses 1960, a then-modern adaptation of Choderlos de Laclos’ epistolary novel (read Wikipedia for a plot summary). The director alone made the movie a must-watch. Beyond his film career, Vadim is famous in France for being married to some of the most beautiful women […]
