NotesâOdysseus was a groundbreaking larp production that was originally run in 2019 and again as remastered version in 2024.
Massive team of volunteers transformed an elementary school into a living, breathing space ship and took over 600 players from 30 different countries to an unforgettable journey through the stars.Unfurl
NotesLast year, hundreds of players inhabited a spaceship on the run, scrambling to keep one step ahead of the enemy. The sci-fi larp Odysseus was inspired by Battlestar Galacticaâs â33â, but where that episode only lasted 45 minutes, Odysseusâ players worked, fought, ate, and slept in-game for fifty non-stop hours.FeedEmbedUnfurl
Notes I came to play Dungeons and Dragons a little later than most and as I look at the prices for the likes of the Playerâs Handbook and Monster ManualâŚI think I know now what the first thing I need to do is when I finally invent that time machine.Unfurl

Notes"I just returned from the Microsoft campus (well, I stopped for a panini), where students from Carnegie Mellon University are showing off their awesome project, a version of D&D that runs on the Surface. Now, before you start rolling your eyes, just recognize that this isnât just a holy grail for tabletop gaming nerds. I mean, itâs that too, but really itâs a proof of concept that shows how fun and intuitive something like this can be, and how accessible a team can make it. I honestly think that if they had these things scattered around like Golden Tee cabinets, theyâd get a huge following.

Notes"Okay, I am just working through game links here, so apologies for the volley of random Flash game links. This one is extra-plus awesome however, and discovered via the ultra-fertile sediment that is the TIGSource forums. Realm Of The Mad God is a âmassively co-op fantasy adventureâ, and that means acutely lo-fi multiplayer killing of ghosts and stuff, helping random people as you progress. You put in a name, choose a class, and off you go. Itâs as basic as it could possibly be, and completely superb."Unfurl

Notes"MMO servers are currently limited by technological sizes. But what does a server where you know everybody (even a little) look like? What if we limited group sizes for social, not technological reasons? ... We wouldnât have these servers that resemble sprawling cities; weâd build villages, and hamlets, and travelling camps. And as they grew too big, or small groups within the community grew, theyâd break off and move to places where thereâs more space for them. In one sense, thatâs a more natural metaphor for our users, and itâs a scale that makes sense for them. ... I like this idea that everything, fundamentally, happens at a group level."Unfurl
