LARPers watch out: eBay bans the sale of potions and spells

August 15, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The auction super-power eBay has updated its rules. As a result the selling of advice, spells, curses, hexing, conjuring, magic, prayers and the similar are no longer allowed. The move is likely aimed at the very real practise of selling good luck or sex and love charms on the site as well as curses. This […]

Bloody handprints – for LARPs and pranks

July 19, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Hats off and hands out to Pillbox Designs for this superb vinyl wall art set. This collection of prints is not just art. It’s art with a message. That message is “Boo!” These bloody hand print wall decals would suit any LARP set designer or geeky household with a sense of humour.

Realm of LARP video

July 2, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 3 Comments

The Nerdist have put together a web-based reality show that follows a group of LARPers. I know – cause for concern. LARP has a long history of getting very bad coverage from anything that records moving pictures. Mind you, let’s consider some recent attempts. Leeds Student TV produced LARPing around which was pretty good at […]

A Cthulhu mask for a masquerade ball

June 24, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Have you been invited to a masquerade ball? This blogger once went to one as part of a work Christmas party – all the rest have been roleplaying events. In all cases this Cthulhu inspired mask would have been a sure hit. Right now you can pick the mask up from Looking Glass Leather over […]

Amazing tents for LARPers

March 25, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The UK geeky gadget site Firebox added this “Fully Booked” tent to their site. Is this an ideal tent for field based LARPers? As it happens, the company supplying these tents – FieldCandy – have a host more. Each one is a limited edition and powerful design. I’m especially fond of the battered suitcase style […]

Take the mask of Cthulhu for yourself?

March 13, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Etsy trader Epic Leather has a rather impressive Cthulhu mask for sale. The work that has gone into this leather creation cannot be understated. The leather has been worked, coloured and shaped. There are very many different pieces to the mask which looks exactly like the face plate to some medieval cultist. It’s not cheap […]

LARPing around – a LARP documentary

March 9, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Leeds Student TV published a video on LARPing yesterday. Wait. It didn’t poke fun at the hobby. It certainly focused on the look and feel of the game, digging deep into the world of costumes and lingering on interviews with the professional gear companies but it was fair and balanced over all. Don’t get me […]

UK Role Players Gaming Award 2011 winners announced

February 1, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

British gaming forum UK Role Players have announced the winners of their 2011 Gaming Awards. First the bad news; UKRP LARP Designer, UKRP LARP and UKRP newcomer are all off the table as an award this year due to lack of valid entries. This is a shame. There are some great LARPs in the UK. […]

Is this spider monster too scary for any LARP?

January 26, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This blogger asked the question Are Air Swimmers any good LARPs?. The answer seems to be no. They’re too fragile. Oh, I suppose a clever team of GMs could have a shark swim through the air as a very clever effect. This video is attempt 2. TD Artwork has just finished creating a very large […]
