Project Cabin: A Live-Action Game Engine

December 30, 2019 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Four years ago a game designer sent a 70-pound resume to Wizards of the Coast. It wasn’t enough to get him a job, but WotC CEO did put in a good word for him at other games companies. That game designer was Steven Varela, and just before Christmas he pulled the covers off the project […]

Is this new type of game the closest we’ll get to a solo LARP? Escape The Invasion

October 28, 2019 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Escape the Invasion is being described by others as a mashup of a board game and an escape room. Those are the ingredients we need for a LARP, right? Props and a physical presence.

York gets a Dungeons & Dragons inspired bar

November 19, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Quest Inn is a family-friendly fantasy themed restaurant opening in the centre of medieval York. The Indiegogo pitch for The Quest Inn raised some money but not the full £50,000 that would have made this clever idea a slam-dunk certainty. Geek Native spoke to the architect of the plan, Elliot Howden-Roberts, about the project. […]

5 of the best post-apocalyptic festivals for your calendar

October 21, 2018 by Guest Writer 2 Comments

LARP (Live Action Role Play) has existed for hundreds of years but was claimed by geek culture in the 1970s after the roaring success of Dungeons and Dragons, and it has only grown more popular over time.

Spooky stilt costume

March 1, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This “Mortis” costume was built from scratch and makes great use of stilts. The reason? The designer wanted to give the kids a scare for a birthday party. I think it would work well at the right sort of LARP. Scratch built stilt costume – “Mortis” – Great for kids bday parties! byu/origtwyg ingifs What […]

12 Masks of Halloween: #10 Beautiful Beast

October 28, 2017 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I don’t think this Beautiful Beast mask is good enough for a fursona but it’s certainly a good choice for either a LARP monster or Halloween. This particular Beast will set you back about $70 from Costume Supercenter. What’s going on here? Each Halloween Geek Native counts down the days by showcasing a mask. A […]

12 Masks of Halloween: #8 Sons of the Harpy

October 26, 2017 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This Halloween will you stand against The Mother of Dragons? Good luck to you. That said… I think this Sons of the Harpy mask from Costume Supercenter is an excellent idea for a costume. Anything Game of Thrones related is likely to be recognised and go down well at parties. We had a White Walker […]
