Official character sheets for the Knights of Badassdom
Knights of Badassdom is a LARP movie. It’s about a LARP that goes wrong. Wrong as in accidently summoning a succubus, wrong. We’re talking Peter Dinklage and Summer Glau. I’m not sure this is a movie that portrays LARP in a good light. We’ll have to see. After very many delays we do now have […]

Other times, you might come across something more commonplace and uncover a gem or two – […]
