Me: *see's props for the #LARP he's going to include fish*
Also me: I'm going to have to stop myself from singing if I fish aren't I?

Herger the Joyous, and isn't he such?
Lt Shaxs. Remember, fighting facism is a full time job!
James Cosmo from Braveheart. I like to think it's an early audition for Commander Mormont.
Character settled on for #LostSettlers! Older warrior, sees himself as a mentor/instructor to the young pups. Might have to dye some more grey in my hair... #AusLARP
I hate to be doomy. For the past two decades-ish my RPG writing has largely been focused on LARP. TRPGs here and there but original systems/content writing has been squarely LARP or LARP adjacent. #AusLARP

Something that's been bugging me for a while: the loops on the shoulder, what are they called? Please?
I figure they're to hang a cape from, but I've no idea what they're called. #AusLARP #larp #armour
Mood (If you know, you know. Not to do with any motion picture adaptation either)

Gearing up for #LostSettlers, but still haven't found time for war paint tests. #AusLarp
Hmm thinking I change #auslarp to catch all australian rpg content so it has more utility than just 10 people’s casual perusal 🤔 opinions?
Or maybe I nuke it because this platform is after everyone’s biodata /censoring folks, which means it’s a little bit dead in the water anyway

Also helped out with a few of Midnight in Melbourne's events, Ivan and Elm's wonderful Vampire LARP. Got a good photo of me in GM mode to boot! #ausLARP

I ran some games this year too. The two year Babylon 4 (5) LARP I was running for Caligo Mundi came to a satisfying close, it was a little game idea that became very very big quickly and we had a great team and great players. (caligomundi.com) #ausLARP
Sorry, that should have read 'lack of an inclusive feeling.' LARP is for everyone who wants to play, and should always be so.

The DVDs of S1 and 2 of Britannia and The History of Ancient Britain, and the book Pictish Warrior AD 297-841.
Woo, Lost Settlers ticket purchased! Now, onto character research and inspiration! #AusLarp
Late response, but lack of safety policies, details as to the GM team, the games reputation and an inclusive feeling are flags. Big one is a 'hit as hard as you like, the weapons are foam' rule - that's a clear sign of a game I won't touch. #Auslarp
Planning for next #Ravenswood #LARP has begun, which is handy as we're about 5 months out.
Fresh sports for my students, costume upgrades for me, and hoping I get to be the Yowie again. #AusLARP
Made a joke about a one-off horror theme wizard school game, and suddenly hoping I won't have to actually help write the thing. #AusLarp
Another question for #Auslarp:
When considering attending a larp, what behaviours in the organising team are your red lines, that would have you walk away from the game?
Okay here’s a q, tagging in #auslarp:
If ur not on a project, but u come in as part of “community consultation” on a project, but you are also what you’d think of as an “industry peer” who makes similar projects:
Do you consider urself part of the “public” in that situation, or “peer”, or both?
The feeling when you really want to continue a #LARP characters story and the organiser messages you, saying there'll be a more specific answer soon about another event. #AusLARP
[small round image of user next to username:] yumisakugawa Suggested for you. Follow ••• (buttons from instagram UX) [image displaying text:] ROLE OF THE ARTIST To fill in the gaps that institutions and power structures of dominant culture overlook or deliberately avoid: * TRUTH when there are lies or deafening silence * CARE where there is neglect * RADICAL IMAGINATION where there is stagnation, dead ends, and repitition of oppression * LIBERATION where there is oppression * CONNECTIVITY where there is isolation * HOPE where there is despair * SALVE for wounds * ACKNOWLEDGEMENT for those who feel unseen [sketch of a little cartoon figure lying down on the ground, looking up at bubbles containing abstract creative doodles] YUMI SAKUGAWA
Thought this one might be interesting for folks udner the #Auslarp tag. Something I think rping often promotes through the medium itself is connectivity where there is isolation; as an inherently social art form. +“Radical imagination” where there is stagnation, necessary for games to come alive.
Awwww, yes! Ravenswood event 3 tickets are on sale!
So, come on over and cast some spells at Ravenswood Institute, where too much magic is barely enough!

For your (hopeful) amusement, part 1 of my look at the recent Ravenswood #AusLARP event: shoutybeardything.com/2025/06/25/f...
Confirmation I made people cry* during Ravenswood. #AusLARP
*It was for plot reasons, and I was crying too.
Might be monster crewing at #RavenswoodLARP, and some 'extra Aussie' flavour for the role has been requested.
No surprise on my first thought:

Trying not to panic over getting my kit together for Ravenswood Institute. Uniform shirt hasn't arrived and I fly out next Thursday.
#AusLarp
I forgot to mention it here but I hoped arrange a sweetheart deal for #auslarp #larp type folk who want to go to #Drachenfest but need to count pennies

What's the LARP/Freeform rpg that you've always wanted to run (genre, system or story) and the reason you never have?
#auslarp
A little promo for #Auslarp - Conquest is coming up on Easter weekend! A link straight to the page of the larps they're hosting:
www.conquest.asn.au/whats-on/fre...
Usurper and Min Min both have player slots still open on the Sunday :3
Unexpected news now!
Confirmed ton that I'll be playing the Phys Ed Professor at the next Ravenswood LARP. #AusLARP
Many thanks to all who contributed ideas, now I have to watch a bunch of sports movies to get in character. The first? A Knight's Tale. :)
That sounds a solid idea, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks! #AusLARP.
