The Practical Stuff
I’ve already mentioned that Solmukohta isn’t the best convention for practical, hands-on stuff, but here are the most down to earth program items I attended.
The overview of the larp Cost of Living (Russia, 2011) by Alexey Fedoseev, feat. Slava and Diana. […]
OK, we’re nearly there. You’re probably just as tired reading this as I am writing this, but I need to get all those impressions down in writing. We all need closure, right?
America, fuck yeah!
I was very happily surprised to see a whole bunch of americans at Solmukohta. Not only because it’s nice […]
After Knudepunkt 2011, I decided to attend Solmukohta 2012 for three main reasons, in no particular order:
meeting larpers from around the world discovering stuff with pure shock value that makes me go «Nordic larpers are sick» discovering stuff that makes me go «hmmm… I’m gonna dump 90% of what this person said but I […]
Here is my annual recap of the «Nodal Point» Nordic larp convention, held this year near Helsinki, Finland. Can’t wait for next year when, according to the Harviainen scale, these reviews should reach traditional/classic status.
Solmukohta as pilgrimage
I am sure the comparison has already been done to death, but […]
As you may have noticed in the previous article featuring a steampunk turntable video, at 00:51 the lights on my hat turn on. I called this hat the acetyled tricorn and it was my second most popular prop at the steampunk larp.

Nordic larpers do all kinds of interesting things, like running very experimental games, organizing international conventions and publishing books on larp every year.
This year’s production is called States of play and can be downloaded for free. It features a documentation article by yours truly on the Shadowrun larp I […]
This series of posts will showcase some props I crafted for L’Exposition Extraordinaire d’Aven, a Swiss steampunk larp organised by S.T.I.M. in July 2011. The setting went from 18th century to early 20th century, hence my rather lacepunk outfit. My character was Llomand Crosley, captain of the Luciole Sereine, the […]
I discovered the art of stupid covers about 12 year ago in the USA with Richard Cheese. The self-proclaimed loudest lounge singer in the world may not be the first one to turn covers upside down –Soft Cell’s version of Tainted love is pretty far from the original […]
Inspired by the famous Nordic larp convention circuit, the GNiales is a Parisian event where larpers meet, share ideas and experiment on the hobby (GN is French for larp, GNiales is a pun with the “genius-like”meaning of «genial»).
Knudepunkt à la française
Now in its 7th year, the GNiales does knudepunktify […]
[Re-posted from the KP forum to introduce the next article.
X-Posted from RPG.net, because I really liked a lot of things about KP and this audience may care a bit more
The following is a rough translation of my Knudepunkt 2011 recap. I shared this first experience with the
