Josh at Pixels or Death asked me some questions about my experience with Dormouse Games. First off, it was a ton of great experience, it was absolutely worth doing. Eric and I had a blast giving it a go. Eric is great to work with, and awesome to sit down with and just have brunch and talk about games, sci fi, writing, anything. And he hosts some killer cocktail parties too. So my writing doesn't necessarily reflect how I feel. It's a statement of fact, and how I look at things at this moment (therefore subject to change over time). Keep that in mind while reading.

3 recent respectable news stories about larp.
Larp has gotten some media coverage lately. Just minor stories. But notable for lack of sensationalism. Fox News reports on larp, and it's not what you think. And Kotaku talks about Warhammer at a Castle in the Czech Republic.

LRP or LARP?
Broadly larp used be an acronym that stood for 'Live Action Role Playing'. Larp has since become a word all it's own, like scuba or laser. In general use the word can mean live theater, or Nordic Larp, or Combat Larp. It could mean a hit point system or a hit location system. It can mean game mechanics and story telling, hitting things with foam covered weapons or deeply emotional narrative explorations of important topics. It’s a generic term for a larger subset of activities. So how do you know what you like? Jeepform, free form, larp, lrp? What is your style?
