Over the past two days I ran five sessions of Technocculte, split over two nights (for more on this <2h, 4-player game, click here). Some things were great, some not-so-great, so I’ll start with the «could have been better» stuff so that I don’t forget it. A lot of it is common sense, […]
As Arte is playing Tournée tonight, the movie of the larp (explanations here) was released on Arte’s website today. It’s in French, but you get to see how the game looked like.
For an in-depth review by an experienced larper (who played the dude with the hat), feel free to
Explanations etc. are in part 1.
LARP various electronic devices
Kreyl Laurelindo et Vladimir Iachounski presented custom-designed electronic special effects made for Russian games, from fantasy to scifi. We rarely see Russian larp things in France beyond battle videos, so getting a glimpse at the technology side of things was fun. There were […]
Once a year, larpers gather in Paris to talk about their hobby, share tips and schmooze at the GNiales. Originally directed at a French-speaking audience of larp organizers and «players who want to become organizers», since last year the event has gotten much more international, with a full track of items […]
A few weeks ago, the fine folks that had brought us the first Swiss steampunk larp, returned with the Mad Max-inspired « T’as pas dix balles ?? » (« Can you spare ten [bucks or bullets is the same word in French] ?? »). I had originally hoped to fulfill one of my larp fantasies at this […]
After a small taste in The Spiral, the Franco-German TV channel Arte goes full-on larp and will organize a Nordic larp in Paris and Berlin on October 29th.
The goal is to roleplay a sequel to the burlesque movie Tournée by Mathieu Amalric.
It’s a great idea, […]
A funny thing about joining a larp scene is hearing about past larps from “the good old days” and wondering how they were really like.
Envy
I had seen photos from some of the five previous demon-themed games and was a bit envious, but none had been run […]
Finally, an English-language review of the larp I created all those steampunk props for! L’Exposition Extraordinaire d’Aven was organized by the Société des Transports vers un Imaginaire Mécanique (translations are pretty transparent). S.T.I.M. (francophones use a “ee” sound for both “steam” and “stim”) gathered about seventy players in Moutier, Swiss Jura […]
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 […]
Conquest of Mythodea (CoM) is the largest larp event in the world, with roughly 7000 participants. I attended it in 2010 and 2011, but this year I decided not to and organized a larp for 4 people instead.
Why I originally went
Curiosity: what could a larp with several thousand characters look […]
