I am struggling to be motivated to do much of anything right now. The pandemic is almost over and I’ve been living in a state of reasonably high alert for over a year now. I know all the things I should be doing to combat this stress reaction, hell I’ve even been able to do … Read More
The prompt for today is my favourite way of interacting with the queer community. My instinctive answer seems strange to me, because it’s dancing. I’m not really a big dancer, I mean that it’s not something I know much about. I got told to leave a ballet class as a child because I have no … Read More
I’ve done a couple of online LARPs this year, that is to say, they were all *called* LARPS and proved that some LARPERs have clearly not done much roleplay by post, tabletop or forum RP. LARP stands for Live Action Roleplay guys, not just Roleplay… ahem, right that’s my irritating pedantry out of the way. … Read More
I listen to a lot of True Crime podcasts. I read a lot of True Crime too. I’m aware of patterns of behaviour of criminals, and to be fair the interesting ones are very similar to the boring ones they just tend to be smarter, more personable or luck into a blind spot in the … Read More
My main problem is that a great deal of the structure of my week remains the same. The media, social media, everything is talking about how life has changed and it has – queuing for supermarkets, not getting to close to people, most of my LARP activities have been cancelled.

GN est mon passe-temps principal. Pour moi, c’est une forme d’art valable, c’est peut-être la version amateur du jeu professionnel. Peut-etre non. De tout facon. L’année dernière, j’étais inquiet de ne pas avoir la capacité de jouer de grandes émotions. Pour mon anniversaire cette année, j’ai commandé un LARP de ‘The Abandoned Story’, le nom … Read More
I am a large proponent of Decompression after intense LARP. Today started with Breakfast and official debrief (after much of yesterday night/the early hours of this morning were spent unofficially debriefing. Then lunch, leaving, Birthday presents and gaming and drinking. A very good Decompression. I’m still processing the game, I think I will be for … Read More
I am still on the most intense emotional rollercoaster. We won, but at great cost. Also The Princess, Britney and Bonsai Kaiju NPC’d! It was so very good. Jellicle, Excellent Lesbian, Bilbo and I stayed up talking, dissecting the event and its resonances, as others gradually went to bed. I’ve never experienced such an emotionally … Read More
