The schedule for early 2012.

We're back after a holiday break. And the first LARP of the year has already happened. It was Krvomeđe on Jan 15th. Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend, but looks like they had a good time. Here's a fresh pic.


For the first time, well, ever, schedule for future Maksimir and Krvomeđe events was released well in advance, up to end of May.

Maksimir is currently scheduled as following:
  • February 18th
  • March 10th
  • March 24th
  • April 14th
  • May 5th

Krvomeđe is scheduled for:
  • February 12th
  • March 4th March 18th (changed due to Sunčev Potočić announcement)
  • April 1st
  • April 29th
  • May 20th
If any overlap with a large event happens, they will be moved. And it might be that Krvomeđe has some moving to do, as March 4th date might overlap slightly with Sunčev Potočić feast, which is unofficially scheduled for March 3rd (though it's still perfectly manageable to go straight from one event to the other) (edit: moved to March 18th), and May 20 might overlap with Jaska, if that date is chosen, though in that case, it might still function as a closure to Jaska. Sundays are quite convenient for Croatian LARP schedule.

Sven Nemet is organizing a Steampunk LARP on February 18th-19th. Same schedule as Maksimir, or to be more precise: after Maksimir. It should be the first overnight LARP event of something which is not the usual Ognjeni Mač/Amtgard LARP. The event is announced on the larphr Facebook group.

And considering Facebook, there's a huge new page for United Southeastern Europe Larpers (Balkan LARP). You can find it here, along with plenty of players from Croatia, Serbia and Bulgaria (so far). It's looking to be an interesting thing for the regional LARP scene.

On March 17th I'll organize a feast at my home. It's going to be Terra Nova intro feast - I haven't written anything about that project yet, but I will do a full write-up soon. Apart from being in-game event, it's also a celebration of my birthday, my son's birthday, Vjeko's birthday (you might know him as Father Jordan if you visited our LARPs in the last year), and of course St. Patrick's Day celebration.

In other news, there's also been some changes in Ognjeni Mač. Lovro quit as president - the new president is Mario, whom you might know as his former character Rugila. Fran (Letva) switched positions from Management Board to being a member of the Organizer's Board (OzOI). Other new OzOI members are Andrej (Tionol) and Mladen (Khalid). New Management Board member is Kosjenka (Karianne). Congratulations to everyone involved :)

The 15 rules of larp

The following 15 rules (warning: strong language) were written some years ago in Great Britain, and have been pretty much generally accepted on the British larp scene. Especially popular is rule 7 - widely known by its number and commonly considered to be the most imortant rule of all (and I agree). Even the biggest British larp forum has taken Rule7 as its name. The rules have been originally created by the Drunken Monkeys and edited by Rick Wynne who added some extra stuff in the explanations to make them more understandable to international audience (it still contains some British larp lingo though), more work-safe and to throw in his two cents. (copy of the original wording is available here ) 1. Don’t play a mighty warrior; play a warrior and be mighty. Don’t label your character. As soon as you say that you are the best swordsman in the land someone will come along and kick your ass. Just get into the mindset of the person and role-play it out. 2. No one cares about you...

LARPs: The Series interview

One of the most expected new projects in the English-speaking larp world has been the recently announced webseries, called simply "LARPs: The Series". It's not hard to understand why - the "Episode 0" they released has shown a pretty good portrayal of several fantasy larping elements. If you're wondering at the release date of the series, the answer is... today! Episodes 1 and 2 have been released a couple of hours ago, and you'll find them below in the article (and also on the project's website and youtube channel  - the entire first season will be released in the next couple of weeks). However, I had the opportunity to interview several cast and crew members of LARPs: The Series about their project - Jon Verrall, the series writer (who also plays Evan, the GM in the series), and the actors Scott Humphrey (Will), Elizabeth Neale (Shane), Jonathan Silver (Arthur) and Charlotte Rogers (Brittany). This is their story, of how this series came to b...

Interview with Michael A Ventrella, Alliance larp

I've covered non-Croatian stuff on this blog before. Drachenfest, Mythodea, news from the regional larp scene (Serbia, Hungary, Slovenia), Nordic larp theories, Petra's interview with Claus Raasted, etc. Today we're having an interview with Michael A Ventrella, who's one of the people who basically invented American larp (which is not SCA or a battlegame group). Personally, I'm fascinated by just hearing all the different viewpoints and experiences. Anyways, there are really few people who've either been into larp as long as Michael or worked as hard making larp happen. An experienced role-player and GM and one of the founders of NERO, Michael is the owner of Alliance larp (formerly NERO Alliance), probably the largest group which split from NERO and one of the most significant USA larps. He's got lots of information and tips to share, so here it goes. 1. Thank you for your time! Could you tell us a bit about yourself and Alliance larp? I was one ...
