This video is footage from this year’s international and volunteer created LARP “College of Wizardry”. It might remind you of a certain magical school boy and so I’m going to call it a Harry Potter LARP. That’s just me, though. You can conjure up more information over at the official page at Rollespilsakademiet. At a […]
The 12 Masks of Halloween: #6 Horsing around
Who says Halloween masks need to be spooky? Sometimes you’ll ge more chat if you’re just odd. Over on Etsy Sans Souci Studios are selling this horse mask for the regal sum of £300/$475. They suggest the horse is tossing its head and neighing. Perhaps it’s a challenge or maybe the horse is having a […]
“Wild elf” LARP costume as good as any cosplay
This outfit isn’t cosplay as such; it’s a LARP costume. These pictures show Lenora of Lenora Design as her character in the LARP group Aurerijahr. Here’s what Lenora had to say; “I´m playing this character as part of our LARP-group “Aurerijahr”. I love this role, because it is a great acting challenge for me… and […]
When a whole Spanish town becomes Zombie Survival LARP
Some two-thousand players turned the streets of Collado Villaba, a Spanish town near Madrid, into a zombie LARP. Players had to carry passports, an identifying handkerchief and fake cash to bribe other players. Meanwhile some 150 staff helped run the event and use make-up and professional actors to kick off the zombie infection. All you […]
Armour your beer! Protect the gaming table
This “beer armor” was created by Canadian artist Doug Fungus. It’s a lovely chainmail holder for your beer can. I think the design is entirely appropraite to the gaming table. You want to stay in character as much as possible. Beer armour may just be a little touch but it is the sort of nudge […]

In character gaming notebooks
In a game of Exalted I once played a nearly silent Twilight Caste called “They Key with Jade and Journey”. I had a moleskin notebook with me which I used in two ways. I used it to scribble prompts for my own roleplaying – such as a list of “sages” I could quote in those […]
Mastodon’s music video full of RPG and LARP
Out of the blue Mastodon’s music video for “High Road” features a geeky kid who stays at home to look after his gran. He’s also a roleplayer with an active imagination and a LARPer. As a metal video expect a couple of real-life twists. Worth a watch, I say.
Shopping with a giant Uruk Hai
Who else has gone shopping while in full LARP gear? I know I have and I can’t be the only one… if only because I wasn’t alone when I did it. This video takes the monster in the shops gag to a whole new level. The Uruk Hai here simply towers above everyone they meet […]
Worth a shout: Basic Adventuring 101
I watched the pilot episode of Basic Adventuring 101 and then wanted to watch another. It was then that I discovered the series was pending the outcome of a Kickstarter. It doesn’t usually happen that way around any more but I think it speaks well of the show that they were able to earn attention […]
