Diary of a Croatian larper

The fourth larp in the "Para pokreće svijet" steampunk series, "Vrste", announced over 6 months ago took place last night. All in all, a total of 30 people took part in it (the number was capped). I haven't been on the first larp in the series, but I've been on the second and third one - I helped to organize this one, together with Vjeko, Ksenija, Marko and of course Sven who's the head GM of the Para pokreće svijet series. The rulebook , which gets slight updates now features a photo of me under "diplomat" class, which is very flattering :) Vrste (Species) was also quite international - apart from Croats, we also had visitors from three other countries. One from Austria (she's a Croat though - it was her first larp), one from Serbia (who previously visited us on Crolarp), and two from Bosnia (who previously visited us on Tragači zore). Unfortunately, no good pics are up, so I'll just upload a few that I managed to snap with m...

Maksimir 61 is tomorrow, and people are quite excited about it. I already got several people messaging me if I'm going to attend (to answer it publicly, yes, I intend to). Like some sort of excitment is in the air. Which is not unusual. Maksimir larp has commonly been organized once-twice a month. People got accustomed to it, and really few people got excited about one more Maksimir. This time, however, it's been three months since last Maksimir, and that one was battlegame-based, not storyline based. Anticipation got built up. And that is good. Ognjeni Mač forums have been unusually silent lately. Maybe Maksimir 61 and the upcoming Jaska 11 will give them a boost once again. Autumn has always been the time for most lively online discussions. It also shows that perhaps lower quantity can generate more interest. Speaking about interest, it's unusually high for the upcoming Para pokreće svijet: Vrste steampunk larp. April 6 is over half a year away, however player qu...

The fourth Para Pokreće Svijet larp has just been anounced. Named "Vrste" (Species), it has been announced for April 6th next year, weekend after Easter. It's gonna be a long wait, but considering how awesome the last larp was, I guess it's worth the wait. Also, looks like I might be helping out with the event. I don't think there's ever been an event here scheduled over 6 months in advance. Anyway, this makes it the second known larp date in 2013, after Terra Nova: Zimograd's January 11-13. Well, we can guess some others: Jaska 12 on May 16-19 or 23-26, and Crolarp 2013. on July 18-21 or 25-28, but we'll probably have to wait some half a year until these dates are confirmed... By the way, I just noticed I've been writing about steampunk for the last 4 days...
