Shadow State: Live-Action RPG - Costume

10/23/2016

 
It wouldn't be a LARP for me if I didn't make a costume, and in true Neko-LARP-fashion I didn't even start on it till the night before, hah hah hah!

The hair was one of those cheap plastic "Morticia Adams" Halloween wigs. I pulled from my class prop/ costume bin and as you can imagine it was a matted mess. I used fabric softener and a lot of brushing to detangle it, then styled it up so it looked less fake and aweful.

I also made the feather capelet, sooo many feathers to glue! I'm pretty proud of how it all came out.

Shadow State: Live-Action RPG - AR Components

10/9/2016

 
I fell in love with the idea of incorporating augmented reality components into a LARP because I've never seen it done before.

Doing this required my to create a wide variety of elements from a QR code based scavenger hunt to a couple simple video games. Plus a website to hold all the games and QR assets.

You'll see the website here: shadowstatelarp.weebly.com
It looks pretty basic because most of the 20+ pages in this site are hidden from navigation so as not to spoil it for the players. Those pages were accessible only by locating QR codes hidden around the convention center.

My absolute favorite thing, however, was creating two text-based adventure games which players could run through to complete various objectives. "Help Desk" is a social engineering challenge, while "Dagger Quest" is more of a traditional text-based adventure game. Not only were they a ton of fun to make, they're proving to be a good marketing tool for us because now people can get a sample of our LARP anytime they want, not just at a convention.

It took a couple weeks of nights and weekends to pull it all together but I had a lot of fun doing it. The game ran at Archon and all the players seemed to love it, so time well spent in my book!

Shadow State: Live-Action RPG

I've spent the past couple weeks writing and designing elements for the Shadow State Vampire Live-Action Role-Playing Game (LARP).  In addition to creating characters and plot lines for the game I was also in charge of designing all the physical pieces like Character Sheets, T-Shirts, and Game Play Cards.
