hey! -- my fun online larp about all of one's loved ones gradually dying of plague, After Dark, has been translated into German by the amazing and kind Uli Hönig! You can download it (free of charge) from here: https://holkar.net/larps/after_dark.html together with versions in English, Italian, and Polish.

I love how the Black Box larp sub-scene of the #nordiclarp world has become a home to artists with distinct, recognizable and creatively mature styles. Nina Runa Essendrop's penchant for beautiful, tactile, non-verbal play ("Ninaform") is perhaps the most famous example.

In this lecture, Evan Torner gives another example - the duo of Jeppe and Maria Bergman Hamming:

(I played "Encore!" at the 2022 Grenselandet festival. Much operatic. Very recommend.)

Jahresrückblick 2022

#larp
4 #dsa LARPs mit Yrsindel, darunter das wundervolle Bardentreffen. Außerdem zwei LARPs im Nordic LARP style: Club Babylon Rot (Vampire) und Ins Dunkel der Waldritter (Horror a la Event Horizon). Und natürlich habe ich im #vampirelive weiter Amara gespielt, meine Nosferatu. :D

Private Runden: Vampire V5, Gastspielerin einer Star Wars Kampagne, #MasksOfNyarlathotep Runde beendet.

Schön war's!

Speaking of conflicts between characters, this could really come in handy when writing character relationships for a #NordicLarp, because #ChatGPT seems to be able to consider and even incorporate context when generating such stuff, i.e. it should be possible to get good suggestions for relationships that fit into an existing situation like a piece in a mostly completed puzzle.
I'm eager to try that out. For that purpose, maybe I'll revive one of my #Larp ideas that are currently in hibernation.

A few #introductions:

I run Systems Structure Ltd., a US consultancy that provides fractional CISO services for pre-A to post-C round #startups, along with #threatmodeling training and #securityarchitecture reviews.

I've been working in #security since 2003 and did a spell in NGOland from ~2011 to 2016, working with NGOs and news organizations targeted by states and on tools they use, including the #briar messaging app. The field work I did then fundamentally reshaped my approach to security, and I recommend that everyone in the field learn about the reality of being a high-risk user.

I live in #Helsinki the days, although in the before times (and hopefully soon again) I spent a fair bit of time in #NYC and #London. I run a #queer performance space out of my home, along with my partner, called The Attic (@theatticfi on insta), where we make space for #drag, #burlesque, #performanceart, and music, along other things. Before I moved here, I spent six or so years traveling full time.

I have written various essays over the years, which you can see on dymaxion.org, and I'm slowly writing a book. While security pays the bills, I spend a lot of my time thinking about #complexsystems, and in particular how the human and technical bits mesh, how they fail, and how to redesign them to fail better. In practice, this has meant everything from consulting on a constitution to thinking about what comes after the #climate apocalypse. The "recruiting barbarians" in my bio refers to being more comfortable outside of institutions, but I'm starting to think more about community and infrastructure building now that I live somewhere.

I'm also an #artist; I paint and am slowly learning my way around a #synthesizer, and I've been accused of being an #architect. I'm active in the #nordiclarp scene, where we take larp serious as a dramatic form and do everything from a reworking of Hamlet played at the actual Elsinore castle to a larp about the early days of the HIV crisis. I'm primarily a theorist and critic there, as well as player, and I've edited two books and written a number of essays. Nordic larp has the best toolkit I've seen anywhere for analyzing the human parts of complex systems and especially for building new systems; it's heavily influenced my security work, along with my #designfutures thinking.

On a commencé longtemps avant le covid. Wow le trajet du futur, pas sûr qu'on soit vraiment devenu complètement futurologues mais c'est une grosse bande, on atterri à Buda début avril, mais aussi (surtout?) dans une publication dans quelques mois (ce qui en termes de futur n'est pas si loin, ou beaucoup trop). Cheers cher`es!

"As part of the “#Learning Together” program in Buda, two exceptional #futurolog nights at #BUDA the 1st of April (introduction to the research of #Futurology of #Cooperation, lecture of #EleanorSaitta on #NordicLarp (live action role-playing) and artist-talk with #SusanPloetz, film of #DianaToucedo with #DonnaHarraway & #VincianeDespret) and the 2nd of April (« Tikkumst » from sunset to sunrise with walk, one-on-one conversations, #tarot readings, collective #fables…)

The research project ‘The Futurology of Cooperation‘ was conceived as a training camp for our imagination. We want to sharpen our competence to imagine new possibilities of collaborating, thinking and living together. By equipping our imagination with concrete and existing tools, by inventing new ones, and by sharing them with others, we want to train the muscle of speculative imagination, and rediscover the plasticity of reality."

For some people signing up for a larp alone is scary, especially if you suspect no one you know will be there.

In this blog post I share my best tips on how to have a great time at a larp when you don’t know anyone.
