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...

It's been way too long without any updates

  I'm just back from PoRtaL XII, which was back in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, 6 years after PoRtaL VI , which is - incidentally - only 3 posts below this one on my blog, and I still remember it like it was yesterday. And this means I failed to review the past two year's PoRtaLs, also excellent. Here's some representation for them. Back during PoRtaL 10 in Krakow, I did a presentation called  Designing larps with intent . It was streamed, and can be found on Youtube. For PoRtaL 10, I also wrote and ran a larp Journey to Tau Ceti - an expanded version of the Arrival at Tau Ceti. I was a mess at documenting it, and it still remains in an unpublishable state. Both of these were run on Friday, which means I haven't really see much else on the convention that day, but I did on Saturday, when I was also able to play Ties that Bind larp by Alexandros Alexiou. I skipped Sunday, as we had to go early to drive home. For documentation purposes, full program listing is here . At next year...

Discord is up

More stuff from my PoRtaL XII talk,  Larps and Information Technology , seem to be coming true. In particular, the part about technology becoming old. And so it is with this blog. The technology it's built on is getting old and starts to not play as nice with modern browsers, plugins and smartphones as it used to. Specifically, the comment section doesn't seem to work for anyone. So I decided to open a discord to help us all connect in an easier way. If you are interested, join the Crolarper discord server here .
