Seed & Spark: Basic Adventuring 101
The good thing about good ideas is that they’re persistent. Last May I wrote about the LARP series Basic Adventuring 101, reckoned it was worth a shout and backed it on Kickstarter. The team raised nearly $17,000 which is a heck of a lot of funds for a webseries but fell short of their $25,000. […]
Gross first-aid plasters – for larpers?
Yuck! These bandages are quite horrid to look at. Clearly I’m not the type to do well in a medical emergency. I wonder whether this horrible set would be something to take on a LARP, though? Keeps cuts and small scrapes in character and safe? Or just as a way to represent wounds. Since I […]

This Harry Potter LARP is magical
This video is footage from this year’s international and volunteer created LARP “College of Wizardry”. It might remind you of a certain magical school boy and so I’m going to call it a Harry Potter LARP. That’s just me, though. You can conjure up more information over at the official page at Rollespilsakademiet. At a […]

Who says Halloween masks need to be spooky? Sometimes you’ll ge more chat if you’re just odd. Over on Etsy Sans Souci Studios are selling this horse mask for the regal sum of £300/$475. They suggest the horse is tossing its head and neighing. Perhaps it’s a challenge or maybe the horse is having a […]
“Wild elf” LARP costume as good as any cosplay
This outfit isn’t cosplay as such; it’s a LARP costume. These pictures show Lenora of Lenora Design as her character in the LARP group Aurerijahr. Here’s what Lenora had to say; “I´m playing this character as part of our LARP-group “Aurerijahr”. I love this role, because it is a great acting challenge for me… and […]
