"Talkin’"
In 2010, before going to Knudepunkt, before going to Solmukohta, before starting this blog, and even before reading Leaving Mundania, I talked to the French audience of Les GNiales about my experience larping in the USA (mostly Vampire) and Switzerland (all kinds).
Two years later, here [...]
My first foray into English-language larp documentation (aka bragging about my larp scene in an international setting) was a talk about larp in Switzerland at Knudepunkt 2011. I have re-recorded it in video form so you can enjoy my sweet French accent in something else than a steampunk setting. I’ve [...]
American larpers should play more one-shot games! In 2007, I contributed a few segments called Little differences to Gamer:The Podcasting, a cool larp podcast. The idea was to add a european perspective to this US-centric podcast via voice messages. In the “Feedback Show #2″ episode , I urged Americans to play fewer [...]
Du petit huis-clos médical à organiser soi-même aux gros GN méd-fan ouverts à tous, voici le programme des GN présentés à GN’Idée 2012, avec même des petits bonus depuis la convention.
That’s right, now you can watch most of the French and Swiss larp videos and pics we showed at Solmukhota 2012. And you get to drool at all the cool food and drinks you missed!
The 1-page pdf can be downloaded here, it also contains links to the organizer’s websites, some of which, [...]
After Knudepunkt 2011, I decided to attend Solmukohta 2012 for three main reasons, in no particular order:
meeting larpers from around the world discovering stuff with pure shock value that makes me go «Nordic larpers are sick» discovering stuff that makes me go «hmmm… I’m gonna dump 90% of what this person said but I [...]
Here is my annual recap of the «Nodal Point» Nordic larp convention, held this year near Helsinki, Finland. Can’t wait for next year when, according to the Harviainen scale, these reviews should reach traditional/classic status.
Solmukohta as pilgrimage
I am sure the comparison has already been done to death, but [...]
Après les comptes-rendu écrits et vidéo d’une des grandes soeurs de GN’Idée, voici un reportage audio, regroupant de courtes interviews d’animateurs aux GNiales, la convention française de GN.
Ca va du théâtreux qui revient improviser avec des GNistes aux invités Italiens et Belges, et comme on entend ma [...]
Les conventions de GN, c’est comme les GN: tant qu’on n’y a jamais participé, on ne comprend pas trop en quoi ça consiste et pourquoi c’est tellement bien.
Depuis mes participations à Knudepunkt et aux GNiales, je me suis dit que la scène GNiste suisse romande avait tous les talents pour [...]
Inspired by the famous Nordic larp convention circuit, the GNiales is a Parisian event where larpers meet, share ideas and experiment on the hobby (GN is French for larp, GNiales is a pun with the “genius-like”meaning of «genial»).
Knudepunkt à la française
Now in its 7th year, the GNiales does knudepunktify [...]
