I'm a 13+ year vet of the LARP world, and as such, I'm pretty sure that qualifies me to dispense a piece of advice or two to the other larpladies out there. As any woman in a largely male-dominated field of recreation (and battle) will agree, we gals often find ourselves faced with a unique set of problems, situations, and people that would be a lot easier to maneuver around if we had a little knowledge beforehand--but all too often, that knowledge is hard to come by. This blog is intended to be a source of advice, humor, and a point of camraderie for all the girls out there who pick up the sword and the spell packet, move beyond the chainmail bikini (seriously, does anyone really wear those things?), and actually want to make a character that does something.
This is not a promotion for any particular game (although I will probably mention the game that I do play from time to time, in the course of narrative), nor is it a bash site for any particular game (although I will have plenty to say about various points of contention for various games, cause I'm opinionated like that, and I think people should have a good idea of what they're getting into, besides what is presented on flashy, shiny websites with photo galleries full of gorgeous, perfectly costumed and made-up people. Because seriously, if every game was as good as its webpage, I wouldn't have a free weekend available for the rest of my life.)
Go ahead and leave a comment or send an email if you have a tricky question or a funny story or, y'know, whatever.
That said, GAME ON!
