WHAT A CROP! this year’s indie groundbreakers nominees dropped and this is a beautiful spread of inspiring games! www.igdnonline.com/groundbreakers

Yesterday I introduced 16 students to #LARP with Villainous Ever After, about evil villains having a candle lit speeddate. Can they find common ground and their perfect match amongst their malicious peers?

Judging by their cackling and terrible one liners, they certainly had a great time!

Featuring such articles as "How to Run a Cheap Weekend Larp" and "Scalable Character Creation" and "How Larp Gives Power to Queer Larpers"

*sigh*

It's getting really annoying trying to find actual live-action roleplaying content on Bluesky and having to scroll through mostly people using "larp" or "larper" as an insult

Whatever, but it's frustrating because it makes it harder for larpers to discover new larp people to follow

Available now! SLEEP PARALYSIS, a live action roleplaying game about fear by Garret Cook, is an experimental game for two or more people that involves being creepy and working through big feelings through the medium of games. #LARP #Geek #Horror madnessheart.press/product/slee...

IT’S HERE and I am NOT PREPARED

Two cards, one a dove and the other a dagger. Peace and treachery.

It seems pretty unlikely that you are clamoring for a six to twelve player Ottoman harem larp set in 1648, but if you are, I have one that's ready for playtesting. Nine of the characters are women and it can be run with or without a dedicated facilitator in two or three hours.

It would seem
that I am losing patience,
for when the man in front of me
asked why I was masked
I promptly replied:
“so I can outlive my enemies,”
and based on the expression
the man made in response
it would seem
that was one of my better
responses to that question.

Games are a unique art form. They are direct instructions, with an audience primed to follow them. They are unlike music. Unlike graphic arts. Unlike fiction.

Game design is about how instructions focus us, inspire us, outrage us, motivate us, reveal us, help us connect to each other.

Let's do a silly little warm up, here are your 4 page character sheets

What happens to my money if the goal isn’t reached?

If that happens, no money is collected and anything already paid will be returned to you. If you’ve used a credit card, you simply won’t be charged, and if you’ve chosen an instant payment method you’ll get your contribution back. It's all safe!

WATCH: Donald Trump’s Siege of Minnesota Never Ended Swin traveled to the Twin Cities to see how Donald Trump’s brutal occupation is continuing to inflict pain and fear, months after the national media stopped paying attention.

As of right now, Trump’s occupation of the twin cities and Minnesota never ended. It just changed

As the national media and other mostly moved on, his siege, psychotic economic warfare, and terror campaign against the state and its civilians continue to this day:

A handmade box- red book cloth on the outside top piece and black book cloth on the bottom lip. The inner box is covered in red and black marbled paper. In the rectangular debossed area, a white card with red foiling says "For the Queen, a story building card game by Alex Roberts," with a crown line drawing. The bottom text reads "proofread by Jenn Martin"

She's done! I planned to put the red foil on a black background, but realized there wouldn't be enough contrast to read the title, so white it is. The foiling came out so good, I don't think I'll ever shut up about it!

This is the first box I've designed from scratch and I learned a lot making it!

We've crossed $25,000 raised for @transaffirminc.bsky.social & @tccidaho.bsky.social !!! <3 Upping the goal to $50,000!

The General Problem of Indexicality in Larp Design | Nordic Larp When things are done “for real” there is always some confusion on how real is real, as there are numerous different levels of simulation, representation, and performance.

A few years ago we discussed the general problem of indexicality in larp, and it would be so great to be in the room to see where digital games (and especially VR) are going with indexicality. www.nordiclarp.org/2024/06/27/t...
