Not a real doctor
@simonb.bsky.social
Lapsed-writer, ex-DJ, wants to be an academic again (is, in fact a real doctor) , old goth, larp designer, neurodiverse like light through a prism, poet before sunrise. Poster-child for burnout (Complex, Brooding, Challenging)
I want to know more about the dystopian powers trying to enforce this decision

House of Craving started with a nap ... it does not end that way though

if €22 is too expensive, then you can get the PDF from the same site with a pay-what-you-want price.

I got to watch with with my friend, Emma, who has played one larp - Inside Hamlet - and some of the staging was weirdly reminiscent/triggering. She says playing the larp affected the way she teaches the text.

I don't think they explain exactly how it was done in the book, but the apples were roasted to make them soft and then scorched with a blowtorch. I think the spots that look like mould are caramalised sugar.

The worms are real (but edible)

Until you get it right, Jaakko.

I am reminded that David Norris had a user extendable larp family tree project back in 2000, sadly it is no longer accessible. That sought to map where a larp took inspiration from another earlier game. It started off UK centric but spread into Europe and (I think) North America.

Less a taxonomy, more an extended family swimming in the same soup

There is a bot on here that looks for any mention of Finland and then quotes it, unattributed, and without context. I am disappointed that the account was not called torillatavataan, but you can't have everything in life.

Clostest I could find this morning was dl.digra.org/index.php/dl... - but it is more typology than taxonomy,

There is also something in the introdiction to Transformative Role-playing Game Design, but I don't think it is complete, even though my name is on it.

Fun fact, I filter out posts that capitalise the word larp — it is good for my sanity, as I am interested in the play form, not the assertion that it is how the US is goverened — anyway, I have now blocked *myself*

I have grown lazy in my later years, for it is hacked together in Javascript rather than c++

Given that I am not sure that I even want the game to have a combat system, and that I have pressing deadlines for other projects, it is even more ridiculous than normal.
