Looks like I'm on board for a huge bucket list thing, which is the Odysseus LARP in Finland. I got a discounted early bird ticket and a payment plan spread out across several months
If you are curious why this is a bucket list thing, just check out the campaign:

Here's photos of some of my LARP costumes from Intercon X last weekend! I ended up playing in 7 games and running 2 games. It was a great time, and I got to see lots of friends and meet cool new people as well! If you are curious about short-form LARP and LARP conventions, feel free to DM me!
The banner for The Power of Pride Bundle 2026. It depicts a black cat taking a nap amongst an assorted pile of objects associated with projects that may be submitted into the bundle, including a pink game controller, a pencil and paper, a musical note, a 6-sided die, a book, and a black power fist. A rainbow sits behind the logo and cat.
Calling all queer creators on itchio! The #PowerOfPride2026 Bundle is now open for submissions!

Tell your friends too!
In Rhode Island for Intercon X! Excited to play 8 LARPs, run 2 LARPs, and attend and host social meetups!
Sent you a DM!
The Audition is a short larp designed for remote play about an actor and their doppelganger competing for a part in a shitty sci-fi TV reboot. bullypulpitgames.itch.io/the-audition
Awesome! I've written a scenario for Make a Scene too! I attend every year as well
Make A Scene is looking for fresh new parlor larps. They will give you $300 and help you tune up your game and then run it multiple times. They premiere first-time designers every year! It's a great festival and the sort of thing I'd love to see more of. makeascenemn.org/en/call-for-...
I also highly recommend attending LARP conventions like Intercon in Warwick, Rhode Island, USA. It is the largest all-LARP convention in the US, and potentially the world, and is all one-shot games x.interconlarp.org
I maintain a wiki page of downloadable LARP scenarios here: larpwiki.labcats.org/index.php?ti...

I just connected with them on The LARP Place Discord, but thanks!
I also linked to the SmallCon page on The LARP Place Discord server (an international server where people advertise LARP events and discuss LARP)
Feel free to message me if you have any questions or want to get connected with the Luminary Roleplay Society folks. The ones who founded the non-profit are all people I larped with in college. I also added a link to Prairie LARP to my LARP info linkspam here: bit.ly/larplinkspam
The LRS is also running a retreat this year for LARP community organizers! I'm one of the organizers for the retreat. You can learn more here: larpcor.wixsite.com/website/larp...
I've also written and run a weekend-long game with a California Bay Area based LARP non-profit that does similar things to what Prairie LARP is trying to do, but has been around 10 years now. Might be worth connecting! luminaryroleplaysociety.com
This is cool! I live in the US east coast, but it's cool to hear about more LARP conventions popping up! I attend lots of LARP conventions in the US, like Intercon, Summer Larpin', Time/Dice Bubble and Be-Con.
I actually got into LARP before I ever tried TTRPGs
Get this occult action thriller ttRPG for 1-7 people. Perfect if you enjoy playing powerful undead revenants embroiled in breakneck action, interpersonal drama, and occult investigation. Soundtrack by @mollynoise.bsky.social and human-made art by @stregawolf.art. Jump in now for early bird deals!
I wrote a zine about how I find totally free indie video games made by students, hobbyists and others! metaparadox.itch.io/hidden-gems-...
Just read it and was excited to see a book where the main character was also a she/they latine larper! Also the scene with the sleepover where everyone asks about crushes resonated with my childhood as an arospec asexual person who didn't get my first crush until I was in high school
This is my bucket list LARP! Hopefully I can make it work
A circular logo; in the center is an open book with page colored with the aro and ace flags; around it is text reading "The Asexuality and Aromanticism Bibliography."
Hello new followers! I work on early modern lit/sci, women writers, and book history and textual editing.
This year I'm on a fellowship letting me focus on asexuality and aromanticism studies; I'm writing abt ace/aro history; ace/aro reading; and also collate ace/aro research here: acearobiblio.com
The 7th annual Aro Jam page is live! Have you ever wanted to make a video game (or tabletop game)? How about one with aromantic representation? Aro Jam is a game jam for this purpose. Check out the jam page for a bunch of resources. The jam lasts the full month of February! itch.io/jam/aro-jam-...
As an actual larper, I can say with confidence that they are doing a pretty poor job of larping. Any good larper knows how to separate fantasy from reality and minimize character bleed
