Content Warning: LARP rambly ramble, real life mental health stuff including things that are personal to me. Don’t say I didn’t warn you Last year I played Together Forever for the first time and I completely loved it. This weekend I signed up for the elongated three day version called Together Forever & Ever. This … Read More
Contains Spoilers for SparkLRP’s games Thread and Weave. (Currently neither are intended to be run again but, y’know.) I’ve come to the conclusion that my preferences in LARP are hugely similar to my preferences in art. Had a conversation with a friend about when you worry if your game idea is pretentious or not and … 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
I love the game I run for my antipodean friends but I do not love the time difference. I love the buzz that GMing gives me, there is a great deal of fun in creating stories with your friends.

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
I love everyone’s costumes, it’s the first night of my birthday LARP and all the players are from different times. The NPCs are alive and we have The Teenage Boy, The Girl With The Golden Hair and Angry Young Man – I was wonderfully surprised by that last. As ever My Whisky Friend makes a … Read More
