Editing a larp.

One of the most difficult things to do is write a larp. It's a challenge because there are so many assumptions and biases that we write into our rules sets which we can't see or assume aren't there. Writing and editing your own work can be frustrating. Editing someone else's content can help point out flaws, errors, and omissions in your own. It's a good way to train your brain to find the missing pieces of your own larp system. Instead of pointing to my own work on the 4x larp today I want to highlight work someone else is doing. Pointing out those gaps, providing suggestions, and tips has been really fun.

Getting back to larp!

Today is the first day of Spring. Which makes it a great time to talk about getting outside and being active after a winter of hibernation! Time to get the gang back together, and help each other lose the winter weight in a fun way. When it comes to larp, and kicking things off, that means practice. As a new season starts I always get excited to play again!

Beginners Guide to Larp: Choosing.

New players want to larp but don't know where to begin or what they might like. They see Geek and Sundry's videos online, or read local news articles about a small but growing local battle game scene. After scratching the surface with one game, newbies often find larp is a surprisingly general hobby. To an outside it may seem very specific, but then you find all these different varieties. Maybe that first found style or flavor of larp is appealing... Maybe it misses the mark a little. How to pin down where to begin? Fortunately there is a style of larp for many different tastes.

Let's Get Meta (data).

This winter is taking it tole on my interest level in Larp. Fear not it will bounce back in spring. But writing when you have less passion for the topic seems like a bad idea. Today we're going to get meta and talk about the blog itself. There have been some odd traffic spikes. Maybe someone can figure out why?

After posting I just reread the original title of this post "Let's Get Meta" and realized that was a really dumb title for a blog about larp. Meta gaming is a huge topic in larp, and the title is totally misleading. Instead of writing about the topic of the blog, this post is about weird traffic on the blog. Sorry readers if you were hoping for a blog post about meta gaming. If you have questions about meta gaming send them my way. That should totally become a blog post.
