My larps

I figure this would be a good place to showcase the larps I created, worked on or helped with the most, as well as the other larp-related projects, conventions, papers etc.

Chamber larps

Larp jam larps and nanolarps

  • Lobes for Business - a five player, 20-30 minute competitive larp minigame in which players portray Ferengi traders in a Star Trek universe, created for Sekcija 31 program at SFeraKon 2021.
  • Five Minutes of Love - (with Yaraslau Kot, Marie Koleva and Petar Lozev) - a five player, 20 minute larp with four acts lasting five minutes each. All characters except one communicate in a non-verbal fashion. Created during the larp jam on PoRtaL VI.
  • Half a Portal - (with Zvonimir Barać and Martin Gašparić) - a small larp jam project done at Terrible Creations workshop in 2017 that was supposed to be a cyberpunk voodoo game about space exploration, but quickly turned into a spell slinging madhouse. A 30 minute chamber larp for 6-10 players. All materials are freely available.
  • Who let the dog out - (with Matija Mihoković and Tamas Balog) - a short larp about family inheritance drama, perception, secret agents and aliens - created during the nanolarp workshop at PoRtaL 5.
  • Od braka do braka, "Prijatelji", Daleko, Vjera i moć, Understanding humanity - five minilarps, part of the art challenge I took on Facebook
  • (Re)union - (with Ivana Delač, Vesna Kurilić, Marko Zadro, Brittany Rastsmith) - a modern one-shot larp about a certain rich family for 10 people... It was a "mystery larp" created on PoRtaL convention in under 48 hours by the team as a part of the Create a larp workshop. It was run on March 3rd, 2013.

Past projects:

  • Izgon - a quad of pervasive urban fantasy/SF one-shot larps. Fully documented, documentation is freely available. Spawned a chamber larp Izgon: The Experiment and several media as it's legacy, and it's been novelized by Ivana Delač.
  • Noćne Kronike - a Vampire: the Masquerade Sabbat chronicle. For a short time it had a werewolf larp ongoing in the same world, culminating in the Week of Darkness pervasive event. Few of those Werewolf events might still happen on occasion.
  • Terra Nova - a fantasy campaign which ran from 2012-2015, influenced by German and Nordic larp
  • Camarilla Agram - a former Vampire: the Masquerade Camarilla chronicle ran by a rotating group of organizers.
  • Ognjeni mač - Gozba na Banovom Brijegu: 3 fantasy events (one in 2009., 2010. and 2011.) under Ognjeni Mač, in the common Croatian fantasy larp world. Also, coorganized Jaska 4 larp (July 2009)
  • Krvomeđe - coorganized Amtgard events (Rajski Vrhovi 16 and 17 in 2012, 18 in 2013, and Dec. 2011 event) and several battlegames on Krvomeđe


Larp rulesets I worked on:

  • ConQuest of Mythodea - translated from English and German into Croatian
  • Amtgard 8.0 - translating from English into Croatian (work in progress)
  • Ognjeni Mač 2.0 - some suggestions I made (like the multiclass system) got incorporated in rules
  • Simple Larp System - a set of simple 1 page fantasy rules (in English and Croatian)

Conventions:

  • PoRtaL (March 1st - 3rd, 2013.) - coorganized. It was the first larp convention in Croatia and region. Also did several presentations, workshops and larps on it.
  • PoRtaL3 (February 28 - March 2nd, 2015) -  was the main organizer of PoRtaL3 in Zagreb.
  • Done a number of talks, larps, panels and workshops on other PoRtaL conventions, and several other sci-fi, fantasy and gaming conventions in general.

Papers:

  • The Croatian Larp Scene (New England Interactive Literature. "Game Wrap Volume 3". 2019. Page 34)
  • Promotion of Larp in Croatia (Truhlář, Michal. "Odraž se dokud můžeš: sborník larpové konference Odraz 2012", powerprint s.r.o., Praha 2012)

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 .
