Sometimes the masks we wear to shield ourselves from others becomes so strong, that even we start believing in them. But in our dreams, we cannot hide from who we truly are.
This Saturday, I'll be hosting the first playtest of my new #Jubensha in collaboration with @sickhouse-nl.bsky.social

Played in the short #larp "Dream Architecture" by Jana Romanova yesterday.
Very interesting to be hacking dreams in a cyberpunk setting. Do we do product placement and corporate espionage for cash, or manipulate dreams to help people deal with their guilt and trauma?

This Meta AI ain't stupid. I asked it to look at society as an alien and pick 3 people to remove to improve society.

Just made my first #D&D character in almost 30 years. The process reminded me doing my taxes.

Jubensha is often compared to murder mystery games, larp, and detective fiction – but a great new paper explains what makes it unique as a multiplayer storytelling game.
(For one thing, many Jubensha games don't have any murders or mystery!)
I've published my notes on the paper, plus commentary!

Here’s What Makes Jubensha Different
Jubensha isn’t just a murder mystery game or larp – it’s about collaborative sensemaking.

"Body Games"
At a game-maker network meeting yesterday one of the talks was about body games. Video game makers were talking about how they can use VR or AR to get people to move and interact with each other.
Us #LARP designers shared a look. You don't need tech to do this.

Last night I played the #Jubensha "The Demise of a Pocket Knight" at Jubensha.nl.
Very fun "Jubenshaception", where you portray students roleplaying a medieval Jubensha, while simultaneously uncovering a dark secret that has haunted your friend group. #parlourlarp
