Hardhats to be worn at all times. Insert men at work graphic here.
Right, with any luck, I’ve now got that joke out of my system, tortured that metaphor to death, and we can get on with things now.
An introductory explanation, then. I’ve been running/facilitating LARPs in London for about six/seven years now (consistently, anyway – I’ve been running and playing LARPS on and off for about 18 years now). The recent set have included one reasonably conventional old World of Darkness Vampire LARP (Interregnum), one experimental home-grown thing (Testament), and a fairly unconventional new World of Darkness crossover LARP (Restitution), which completed in March 2014.
I intend to run a new game, starting late this year, or possibly at the very start of next year. It will be an Urban Fantasy/Horror LARP in a similar vein to a World of Darkness LARP – it may even mostly be a World of Darkness LARP – but I am taking 2015 as a development year. I will be faciliating once a month gatherings for anyone who is interested in playing to meet up and discuss ideas for this game, in the hope that a collaborative development process with produce a LARP that is better than average, and most importantly, better than the ones I have run before.
I’ve set this blog up to be a reference point for interested parties, and a place to write up my developing thoughts on LARP in general, and this future game in specific.
