How’s this for a LARP prop? The seller, Hawanja, describes the prop as something for a Cthulhu LARP. Do you know of any Lovecraft live action games? It doesn’t matter. This scroll, made from heavy cardstock and then treated to age it, is good enough to be a breathtaking handout in a tabletop Cthulhu game. […]
Zaphats and augmented reality clothing for LARPs
Augmented reality clothing brands, like Zappar, certainly aren’t restricted to making fashion to be adapted by LARPers. I suspect, for now, they may be restricted to fashion for geeks though. What a piece of AR clothing does is transform, on screen, when viewed with the right app. The best way to describe it is to […]
LARPers watch out: eBay bans the sale of potions and spells
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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 […]
Lord of the Rings latex LARP swords
The ever popular Sideshow Collectables have expanded their range of geek accessories even further this month by branching out and towards roleplayers. In particular, the company which makes replicas based on and inspired by movie, TV and comic franchises has started to produce latex replicas of Lord of the Rings weapons. These latex weapons should […]
