Abstract colourful painting of two figures suspended and entwined together wrapped in vines and surrounded by strange fruits and flowers, with a tree shape behind them

Building keen and falling back in love with my hobby that I have missed out on for 2 years, because of my health, by making art inspired by it.

Navarr and Thorn, gouache on paper #empire #empirelrp #larp #empirelarp #painting #profounddecisions #art

Took a bit longer to sculpt the Navarri team for Clash Upon The Anvil. I wanted them to look like fast moving skirmishers keeping their armor light and their poses dynamic.

…and then I had a partial stroke. 2025 is just turning out great. Oh well, a few weeks until E3. Unless
I come down with bubonic plague or something similar.

Anyway, 2 more events and then we are Cambridge bound next year.

Oh and the topic for E2 is ‘how to kidnap an orc without leaving any evidence’. Purely on a theoretical basis, of course.

Less than two weeks to go to #E1 and I am waiting on my latest vyshyvanka to be delivered. Most other things have been packed and a lift procured to get me on site when the gates open.

The WoF have opened up a
new RP opportunity as well.

Keen at maximum level…

IC tent hired (Rent Bell Tents), positioned on the Varushkan plan (if the area gets any smaller we will be living in the same tent). Just waiting for weather predictions now.

Just been thinking… should we be preparing to meet the returning spirits of the Iron Helms at the Feast of the Loom? Last time a thing like this happened people got slightly murdered…

And so it begins…

Soft kit being assembled for E1 with a few Long Dark additions. Base layers as well as Varushkan kit. Warm items to be packed if the forecast is wet or rainy (or both). Boots at the ready. 3 weeks to go…

I’ve just done my ‘I have epilepsy post’ on the #Empire ‘Spoonie and disabled Empire Larpers’ Facebook group. Fingers crossed I have had only 2 seizures in 11 years at Empire but they are are getting more frequent.

#LARP #Empire #ProfoundDecisions

All my LARP stuff now placed into my own small room in the loft. Clothes on rails, armour on stands, weapons neatly stacked by type and miscellaneous equipment stored in boxes. Really pleased with the result 😀

Ready for Empire!

Black and white photo: A group of LARP players mainly in early Rus viking clothing, formed into a Boar's Head' formation (a triangle with spears out to either side). Marching to attack.

Bored, so another LARP photo:

Varushkan Boar's Head on the march. I seem to be at the front (with the spider shield), as a sacrificial victim. 10 minutes later, i was.

Oh boy here I go over designing costumes again. Hopefully I can all my affairs in order and get this made up well in advance of empire e1
