RPGs, tabletop, LARP and everything in between
My good friend Jillian Venters, the Headmistress of Gothic Charm School, and I talk about gaming, the Camarilla, and horror movies, lots of horror movies. http://player.wizzard.tv/player/o/j/x/130540523848/config/k-789c63e80a92f152/uuid/root/height/360/width/640/episode/k-d002fe705d461295.m4v
I’m bringing sexy back… Ok, I won’t subject you to any more of that song. It’s one of my guilty pleasures. So, using sex and romance in your games. First, bear in mind that the two are not necessarily the same thing. You can have sex without romance (my early 20s) and romance without sex… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #168 – Putting the R in RPG cont’d – Bringing Sexy Back
Ok, so now that you’ve talked to your players about including horrific, adult type stuff in your games, how do you do that? The types of games we usually include in this category include horror, porny, gut-punchy, and romance. Porny and romance can be the same, or different games/categories entirely. Now, some people focus on… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #167 – Putting the ‘R’ in RPG continued: Horror
Welcome to anyone coming here as a result of listening to me blather on at Norwescon! All of my panels were great fun, particularly the Victorian Sex panel, where I’m sorry if I burst anyone’s bubble by bringing a lot of historical reality into the picture. But, you really should know about the bad, too.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #166 – Norwescon and Putting the ‘R’ in RPG
A finishing school for geeks. For those of you who did not grow up reading victorian literature for fun, finishing schools (which still exist, I found out) are schools that teach young ladies the finer points of etiquette and proper behavior. Yeah, I’d probably flunk out, if they didn’t run screaming from my tattooed freak… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #157 – Sometimes I Want to Open a Finishing School
It’s the RUM post! 151…? anyone? bueller? Anyway, what am I playing? Well, right now I’m listening to my buddy Deke work up his character for a Noir-themed game which we’re using the old Marvel FASERIP system for. So far all we’ve really done is get the core group together, except for a couple of… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #151 – What Am I Playing Now?
Ok, so this last weekend I went to ZomBcon in Seattle and had a pretty good time. The Geek Husband What Rules and I spent the day in the Sandstorm Productions booth to be available to demo games. I did indeed demo Torches and Pitchforks and Zombie, Ninjas, Pirates. The GHWR did demos of Poo… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #145 – ZomBcon and two days to AmberconNW!
I guess I should start out by apologizing for it taking me more than 2 months to get back to this. Life has been very busy and then there was writers block… I also feel a bit weird about writing these things when I’m currently on a hiatus from LARPing. I *did* renew my membership… Read More Uncharted Territory: Role playing in settings/groups that are new to you – Part 2 of 3
Last night I was so tired by the time I went to bed that my eyes were burning. So, of course, as soon as I got into the horizontal position my brain popped with: “Hi! I have a great idea for a 3 part series on making characters for and playing in settings that you… Read More Uncharted Territory: Role playing in settings/groups that are new to you – Part 1 of 3
Twelve years ago, when I started playing in a Vampire LARP, it was run by a non-profit fan club. Life was simpler then. One could make a basic character without having to thrash through multiple books AS WELL AS one or more on-line addendum. The focus was on having fun. Oh sure – there were… Read More Remember when LARPing was Fun??
