I had the opportunity to play the “Crisis” LARP held on 5 & 6 November at St. Paterne Racan (37) by the association Dreamcatcher, traditionally more skilled in scripted Airsoft than LARP.

This note is less a criticism about a given LARP than a more general...

The way to start differs from one game to another. It may be either brutal or flexible. A brutal start will confront the players with an initial situation and will give a precise start signal.

In a lot of games (we could take the risk to say : in more and more games 1), larp designers have a tendency to do their best to...
The interactive mixing desk of larp
The mixing desk of larp is a great tool. As said on the Nordic larp wiki, it’s a framework for organizing your thoughts about larp design. We think it’s more than that. When we heard about it last year, we presented it to the french larpers and offered them a tool to play with it.
We had two purposes.
The first one was that each organizer who wanted to speak about his/her larp to come, could fill the mixing desk to complete the speech and give to the players a good idea of...

The association Wargs wrote and organized three Larps in the Star Wars universe. The Jedi Knight series, 1, 2 and 3, who will soon have a younger sibling since episode 4 is in preparation.
Before you sink into confusion, please note that these Larps are not consecutive. As a matter of fact, they have no common characters, the position in the Star Wars timeline is different...
