ANYWAYS, I'm looking for people who make #Unfiction / #ARGs / Interactive Fiction / #LARPs / #Immersive Media, and people who write about, youtube about, or archive those things. I've been putting together a Discord server, and have assembled a pretty great Avengers team of Unfiction folks.
Join us tomorrow at 5pm for Hotel Paradise. You can expect a night of mystery, drama, and silly characters with tragic backgrounds. Today is the last day to register - book now before your place vanishes 👻 #larps #larp #halloween

Excerpt from a comic strip about coming out as trans via RPGs. The dialogue is between the GM explaining the character of a "Dwarf cleric" as kind of like a "magic nun." The person getting the explanation finishes by saying, "Okay, so like.... can I play as a girl?"
Awesome comic about someone starting their gender transition journey by playing #TTRPGs & #Larps. Really beautiful, and the same dynamic can apply to many other aspects of your personality. Great job, @erosoxide.bsky.social !

The impact of educational live action role-playing games on social–emotional competence: a mixed-method study with Chinese college students www.frontiersin.org/journals/psy... #Roleplay #ttRPG #Games #LARPs
#LARPS improve students significantly in #EngagingwithOthers, #Collaboration, and #OpenMindedness, and somewhat in #Assertiveness, #Sociability, #Empathy, #Cooperation, #Tolerance, and #Curiosity.
Who'd have thought?

What then should I tell the black man who is currently using it in the way I described, to being #larps to underprivileged kids? Who spent years with pen and paper getting nowhere, but made real progress with it? Quit? Go back to what didn't work?
What works for us, often, reflects our privilege.

Thinking about how if I ever went to one of those fancy-ass Dark Academia/Gilded Age/Fancy Pants big-budget "event" #LARPS , I'd probably wind up playing the equivalent of Bertram Wooster whether the organizers intended it or not.

Happy News time! Got the first person of the year (a friend and old Faire buddy), asking for craft goods to sell at their booth this year.
Here's hoping for a busy, productive and successful year - for all of us! Thinking we could use it after the last several. #faires #larps #cons #crafter
Stoori yesterday was great fun - great people and great games. Hopefully more of the same in 2026!

Kids loved getting the chance to play, and I did my first Christmas music of the season.

Ethan Yen is quoted: "Big Bad Con expands everything I know about tabletop games. I've met friends, peers, and experienced professionals from all over the world who have influenced the trajectory of my game design journey. Every year, I look forward to discussing, discovering, and playing the latest and greatest games with the amazing people at this convention! The staff and volunteers sincerely care for the attendees and work diligently to provide an inclusive and uplifting space. I am proud to support Big Bad Con!"

Promotional image for Big Bad Con 2024. Photograph on the left shows a person with dyed orange hair, funkily ornate eyeglasses, and a red top with yellow accents. On the right, the text reads: "I have been going to Big Bad Con for many years now, and it's still hands down my favorite con. It's a friendly, diverse, intentional space to sample new games and new experiences - from emotional LARPS to political TTRPGs, I've felt comfortable exploring characters and scenarios I would hesitate to try anywhere else! The staff of Big Bad work so hard to create a container of safety and playfulness, while also being incredibly responsible about any issues that may crop up. As someone COVID-conscious, it's also somewhere I feel I can still participate and have fun without risking my health. I've met several forever friends at tables here, and I know every year I'll meet some more. Just an incredible community that lifts everyone up; I can't rave about it enough!" - KITTY STRYKER BIG BAD CON
