Embrace the Night 3 announcement

It is December. The days are getting shorter. Nights are starting earlier, and last for longer. It's time to finally embrace the night.

The third and the final event of Embrace the Night is going to be played tomorrow evening. Embrace the Night is the three-part intro vampire larp chronicle, which will continue in the next year's full-blown Camarilla Agram series. Tomorrow's larp will be run by Goran Bjelić. Like all larps in Embrace the Night series, it will be fairly different from the other events in the series - which is due to different GMs, different structure and pacing, different locations and trying out different stuff. It will be the last piece in the puzzle that will eventually create the next year's series. The full By Night Studios ruleset will be out soon - in about two weeks. You can still preorder it. The layers of complexity of the regular Vampire society are setting in, being revealed slowly through the intro chronicle, and tomorrow's the last chapter of the intro. If you're interested in coming, join the Facebook event.

This Sunday at 4PM, the GAMING@KSET event is on. I'll hold a presentation on three larp projects: Izgon 2, Terra Nova and Camarilla Agram. Afterwards, there's gonna be hanging out, Pathfinder and board gaming so if you're nearby, visit KSET.

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...

Mind's Eye Theatre: Werewolf The Apocalypse rulebook review

Available on DriveThruRPG Just under three years ago I wrote a review for Mind’s Eye Theatre: Vampire the Masquerade rulebook . It was the first book published by By Nights Studio, and a year later I reviewed one of its supplements - Storyteller Secrets . Now, after a long period of work, after the success of their kickstarter campaign, By Night Studios finally released the full version of the new larp rules for Werewolf the Apocalypse setting. This was preceded by various alpha, beta, gamma, delta and omega slices - each containing a different playtest version of the rules, slowly released from September last year until July this year. First impressions were that the artwork is very cool, and that the book is HUGE. Numbering at 762 pages, that's over 200 pages more than Vampire the Masquerade. But before I start going in-depth, I'd like to mention that this blog's readers come from various backgrounds - and I'll adjust my review accordingly. I assume I'...

PoRtaL VI - a visit to the Bulgarian larp community

Yesterday I returned from PoRtaL VI, and it was amazing. In case you're unfamiliar with PoRtaL, it's been the regional larp conference for the past few years. First one was organized in Zagreb, Croatia, and until this one it's been switching between Zagreb and Budapest, Hungary until this year, as our larping communities made a majority there. The Hungarian participation has been sorely missed lately (seriously, we miss you guys). So far the Bulgarian larp community maintained a small, but constant presence during PoRtaL conventions, and this year's PoRtaL VI was something new, as it was held in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Four people from Croatia went there - myself, and members of Terrible Creations team, Matija, Siro and Vatra sat in a car and made a 12 hour road trip through Serbia, and into Bulgaria (or to be accurate, 3 of us went into the car - Vatra went by plane some time later, but returned with us). We reached Plovdiv on Thursday evening, hitting some bars and ...
