Last year Geek Native wrote about The Wild Hunt a move about a LARP going wrong. It was a popular post. The video’s now had over a quarter of a million plays. Over on UK Roleplayers forums there’s an invitation for gamers to arrange to go to the Prince Charles Cinema, London, on the 8th […]
Dungeon Master Gurls
I missed this last year. I’ve two theories as to how that managed to happen. Theory 1: I reached California Gurls parody overload. In a defensive move my brain developed a way to ignore anything that mentioned Katy Perry, California Gurls and perhaps even the word “parody” on Youtube. Theory 2: I was distracted by […]
RPG Musical: Role Initiative
Okay, keep playing through the first few seconds of over dramatised musical and the actual video begins. This video is actually an entry for the 2011 Windy City 72 hour film competition. If that means they only had 72 hours to put it together – it’s very good. They had extra requirements; they had to […]
Knights of Badassdom trailer
This may well be one of the best trailers to come out of Comic-Con this year. We have the LARP movie – Knights of Badassdom. Names include Peter Dinklage, Summer Glau and Ryan Kwanten. I suspect this movie will have a degree of “laugh at the LARPer” to it but it will be mainly be […]
Minecraft: the LARP
There’s been a fair bit of visitors to Geek Native’s old Mindcraft review. It’s a page that dates back to the GameWyrd days. One theory as where these searchers are coming from are people searching for Minecraft. If that’s the case then this post will confuse things even more. In this post we feature Gary […]
Fountains of Blood
Is it the end of the world? Is it another ad campaign for True Blood? Has a World of Darkness LARP got out of hand? Again? Or have the vampires finally taken over Europe? No. These fountains in Bucharest are running with blood (fake blood, of course) to draw attention to international hemophilia day (that’s […]
LARPer interviews Sylvester McCoy, talks Doctor Who
This is cute video. For a start we’ve a program that doens’t take the piss out of LARPing. Kudos to Playstation Game Runners on VBS.TV. Kudos also to Niahm who, I think, does really well as the ad hoc presenter. I don’t know for sure if this is Niahm’s group but Heroes and Heroines meets […]
The Na’vi’ people of Hometree Wisconsin
There’s LARP and then there’s LARP. The first, of course, is Live Action Role Playing and now we have Live AVATAR Role Playing. This timely mockumentary is worth a giggle. It doesn’t actually have much in common with LARP (except the set design budgets) as the actors in this short are playing people who feel […]
The Wild Hunt – LARP gets sexy, nasty
Mazes and Monsters the first movie I watched which featured gaming in it. The anti-table top film pretty much confirmed my believe in the awesomeness of the hobby. In Mazes and Monsters the victim character lost the ability to tell the game from reality. In Wild Hunt it looks like the victims have no choice […]
Phones4u ad pokes fun at LARPers, rips off Boxwars?
A recent TV ad from Phones4U suggests that people who dress up in homemade armour and whack each other with cardboard axes wouldn’t have enough friends to enjoy the popular tariffs. Does it? Kind of. The two combatants certainly aren’t traditional LARPers and resemble box carts more than anything else. Comments on one YouTube upload […]
