After a bit more than a year of blogging, here’s what sells according to various metrics.
First, my WordPress stats module.
Steampunk sells, specifically my portable turntable. The genre has now grown so mainstream that everyone and their mother is looking for advice or examples of crafting projects. I am no […]
My winner of this year’s NIFFF: God bless America. A man and a girl set out to kill people that embody everything that -according to them- is wrong with the USA. Yes, this movie is no directing masterpiece. Yes, the writing is a tad self-indulgent. Yes, some of the colors […]
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 […]
I have been tagged by Cédric Ferrand to join Summer Radio 2012, based on an idea by Lolobobo.
The Rules:

One thing I’ve never understood is why, for many English-speakers, the combination of French and song somewhat evokes carefree 1960s and 1970s musicals. I love Flight of the Conchords and the following clip is hilarious but why do we still have to pay for things like Les demoiselles de Rochefort well into the […]
Suite à mon précédent article sur les salaires et le jdr et m’a déclaration d’amour à Di6dent, Michaël Croitoriu m’a rappelé que Backstab avait aussi fait un dossier sur le sujet à l’époque. Occupé à m’expatrier j’avais raté ça, mais grâce à la collec’ de ma chère et tendre j’ai […]
This is the English original version of my article on the French tabletop rpg scene, published in Finnish rpg magazine Roolipelaaja a few years ago. It is a bit dated, but still useful for scholars and if you speak Finnish or want to see the pictures, scans can be downloaded here. […]
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
