I dont end up there because I think from a pratical everyday approach it is a functional way to discuss things. But it is a beautiful rabbit hole

Learning from Bleed How you can learn from bleed yourself, and how you design a larp in such a way that your participants can learn from their bleed, if they want to.

Nice in depth article about learning from bleed in larp (and tabletop games)

Sometimes we might fuck up and overstep, and that is okay to. If that happens, we check in with each other, see how we can sort it out and move on. Be kind to yourself as well. Safe care come first; so take care of yourself and opt out if anything feels like it is to much.”

"We are here to share an interesting, fun and perhaps challenging experience. We do so with the best of intentions and which respect to each other. We might touch on each others boundaries, so calibrate play, communicate and pay attention to each others signals. Be good to each other.

I think my stance on it is:

“We will sort it out”

“We will sort it out” In tabletop rpg circles there have been different safety statements/principles. Written mini manifestos about how we treat each other and calibrate play at the table. “Nobody gets hurt”…

In tabletop rpg circles there have been different safety statements/principles. Writte manifestos about how we treat each other and calibrate play. “Nobody gets hurt”, “I will not abandon you” and “Players are more important then the game” for example

I just ran my larp “Dom Som Överlever” (Those that survive) this weekend for the second time I just ran my larp “Dom Som Överlever” (Those that survive) this weekend for the second time. First time I ran it in 2017 I ran it with Sanna Hedlund. This time I ran it with Heidi Schmidt as cowriter...

I ran my larp "Dom som överlever" (Those that survive) this weekend and my rambing and the questions I ask is to long for bluesky

Yeah. or even better. I am getting some likes and other sutble reaction so I know that people both read and like what I send out.

I think there might be lot of communication going on between players.

But for me it feels like sending messengers in a bottle, going pout to sea.

Like there nothing that needs fixing at the moment.

I am at the weirdly nervous stage of larp organizing where everything is on track, four weeks before the larp. Everything is going fine, things are on track and communication with the players are mostly one sided, with me sending them small updates.

On a serious note our primary consideration is climate hardiness and temperament and general chicken welfare of course. Which means the Ayman Cemani is out (We live in northern sweden), but that Svarthöna is in the running.

Picture of a two black hens. Slighly more everyday metal.

Then we have the Swedish chicken landrace Svarthöna (black hens). Second picture. They are also metal. But more everyday metal. Like metal fan in cut off washed out black jeans and worn band t-shirt metal. Not in the best shapes of their life, with a few comfort kilos metal. Which I find delightful

A pickture of most metal ever black rooster.

We are getting chickens this summer. That means selecting chicken breed.
I want the most metal chicken breed.
The most metal breed is Ayman Cemani. First picture. Just look at them. They are so goth and metal that Edgar Allan Poe could have written about them. They are ultimately metal.

Anatomy of Larp Thoughts: a breathing corpus - Nordic Larp Wiki

YouTube video by Odysseus Larp Among the Stars - Odysseus 2024 (Minidocumentary)

If you're curious about the spaces, costumes, and effects of the Odysseus Larp runs in 2024, there is now a mini-documentary edited from in-game video footage. Experience the magic!

Oh. Maybe is should do some dice,.

LOOK

Best decision so far this year: Joining the local craft club for 500 sek (45ish € or USD).

I get free access to wood/metal working workshop, sewing studio, yarn studio, looms silversmithing studio, glass fusion studio.

AND THEY GOT A GEM POLISHING MACHINE. I NEVER DONE ANYTHING AS SATISFYING EVER.

Newly dyed again. This last year been partially coloring my hair blue. No bleach, just a Manic Panic midnight blue on top of my dark brown hair.

It has been a few months since the last round of dye, but now I feel almost at home again.

Like this sort of low key alternative queer blue

Bah, the pandemic is over because it is endemic now.

The pleasant feeling when you have a larp sign up running and you realize that you seem to get just tge right number of sign ups. Filling the larp but not turning anyone away. (We aim for 24 sign ups, might end up slightly more then that but we can take on a few more without issue)

We once found a half trashed, half renovated nursing and resturant school for a horrir larp. Buf freezers with meat hooks, abandoned hospital rooms.

Sadly it was also filled with mold that landed the main organizer in the emergency room during the larps climax.

Jag skulle rekommendera att du anmäler dig. Skulle fler än 24 anmäla sig innan 4/2 kommer jag stänga anmälan, vilket vore synd om du är peppad. Anmäler du dig men måste hoppa av i när du får schemat har jag gott om tid att få in reserv. Plus det är innan betalning ska in så du förlorar inga pengar.

Dom som överlever "Dom som överlever kommer att förändras. Likt larver som blir till fjärilar."

Dom som överlever är ett lajv som handlar att ta ifrån någon deras liv. Det är ett psykologiskt skäcklajv om förräderi, vänskap och att förlora sin mänsklighet.
