Like a king of fools after playing several larps, I thought that only cool, kind, and fun people play larps. Some find future partners and lifelong friends through these games. But some break relationships during the larp itself. Some feel the need to “win” the larp no matter how much they ruin the fun for […]
It’s been a while since I played some kind of roleplay that influences borders on the map. I also have a love-hate relationship with Larps that let me play a character but at the same time my every move can set a chain reaction that can be felt far into the future. I’d probably prefer

My LARPs are often experiments in the sense that I don’t always know how something will actually work in play. This one was quite the experiment, and honestly, I was worried it might turn out super boring. It’s easy when my LARPs have tons of tasks and tangled relationships—but in this one, players only brought
In 2013, one of the creators of the game Cloak and Boffer, Zvonimir Barać, designed an amazing LARP that remains especially dear to me, sadly, it never got a sequel.

So, playing LARP in Croatia generally implies the freedom to drink alcohol. Sometimes it goes beyond just a glass or bottle of vine — or two or three — and not just for some. The LARP with an ancient world theme where magic was present was one I organized back in 2015. It’s awkward when
This is a remake of an old article I made around 2015. I have learned a lot since then, so it is time to improve on the fruits of my already infinite wisdom. It’s basically a checklist for getting larp ideas, Like Art of War but not so needlessly cryptic. I like to call them
I don’t remember the names of the events anymore, and frankly, who gives a damn. Screw-up #1:I decided to play a character who would “shift” from one persona to another, like in a theatre performance. It was a challenge for me – I thought about it, even rehearsed how it would work.The idea was that
Once again, I was playing an NPC. Honestly, I don’t see any difference in enjoyment between playing a PC or an NPC—I give my all to both. You? This time, I was playing a Satyr. To prepare for the role, I downed four shots of pelinkovac. Just to clarify: in Croatia, LARPing often goes hand
Once again, the game took place in a mountain lodge. The food was excellent, offering everything from wild boar to the famous fried porcini mushrooms. This event also provided a valuable lesson for LARP organizers: when food and drink are involved, it’s best to pause the game. People get caught up in enjoying themselves, and
