Tonight at 7pm you can sign up for games at this year's Festival of the Larps at Brandeis University!

This is the totally free weekend-long larp convention in Waltham! It runs from the evening of Friday, April 28th, to the afternoon of Sunday, April 30th!
The schedule of signups is as follows ( Read more... )

As most Intercon attendees know, the snowstorm over the weekend made it so a lot of people were unable to make it-- including the main chunk of Alleged Entertainment. That meant without Nat, Vik, Susan, or Vito, the entire GM team of Spring River couldn't arrive.

The highlight of my weekend was the running of Silver Lines, my mystery tabletop-game-turned-larp set in the future of the Mrs. Hawking storyline.

I think some of the members of the bid committee are skeptical about the combination working, but I've ( Read more... )

Had the urge to experiment with other game forms recently. I didn't really want to get into a new game, as I decided to take the week off from writing as a break. But since my summer is ending and the new semester beginning, I felt driven to take advantage of the little remaining free time. So I messed around with a game I've already written, ( Read more... )

We are SO CLOSE to being able to release the first issue of Game Wrap Magazine, the publication I'm on the editorial board of that is devoted to analytical/semi-scholarly articles on the art and craft of larp. I'm incredibly pleased with this publication; the issue is going to have some really excellent, though-provoking articles in it, one of ( Read more... )
