Join the cast and crew of LARPs: The Series on Wednesday, February 19th from 10pm-midnight EST for a two-hour online hangout extravaganza! We will be guests on 1337LoungeLive, during which time we’ll discuss the project and answer questions from viewers. Everyone will be hooked up via webcam. You won’t want to miss this! Here’s the blurb from their site:

“A hilarious new fictional web series about roleplaying games is about to rock the nerdosphere, and we have an exclusive virtual hangout planned with the show creators, Julian Stamboulieh, Benjamin Warner and Jon Verrall.

The story of LARPs follows five twenty-something friends who meet regularly to play in a live-action roleplaying game which has surprising and hilarious parallels with their real lives. The intro episode on Youtube has already racked up tens of thousands of hits since it’s debut this month, and we’re speeding toward the official launch of the series on March 10th.

Get to know the visionary filmmakers behind LARPs. If you like games—video or tabletop—you’ll have plenty to talk about with these cool creatives.”

Hey, have I raved about our poster lately? No? Fixing immediately.

It’s amazing and I love it.

We also got a nice shout-out from Crave Online. A little under 3 weeks until launch!

• Lizzie Stark: “Larps, the Series has produced its pilot episode, which pokes fun at boffer larp, while still clearly operating as a love letter to the activity.”
• We got an honorable mention on Insertcointobegin.com‘s list of Video Game themed things from around the Internet…net…net!: “Hilarious.”
• In the past week several cast and crew members have been interviewed by local Montreal media outlets. Will post links when they get released!

We were delightfully surprised this morning to discover that we have been featured on GDR Italia. I’m loving that we’re getting attention from viewers overseas! Oh, the wonders of the internet.

It looks like Jonathan and I smell something funny, Scott’s clearly Snapchatting up a storm and Charlotte is… yeah I got nothing.

Had to share:

I’ve never felt like more of a bad-ass in my life. 18 000 views!

And Idina Menzel is performing “Let It Go” at the Oscars. Thank you, Universe.

LARPs has been getting some serious attention from the internet since we launched earlier this week. Not only have Youtube and Reddit been going crazy, but we’ve also gotten some shout-outs from a couple of blogs.

Some highlights:

• RPG Booster called it a “light-hearted and yet fairly realistic look at LARPs.”
• We were featured on Daily of the Day
• Strange Beaver said we were cool 🙂
• AND LARPING.org called it “the webseries you’ve been waiting for”!

We’re so grateful for everybody who has watched, liked and shared Episode 0 so far. Our launch party is one month from now!

The days since the launch have been an absolute whirlwind of awesome. As I type this, LARPs: The Series’ Episode 0 has over 12 000 Youtube views, over 500 likes on Facebook and TONS of positive comments on Reddit. The entire team is blown away by the response and we can’t wait to release the rest of the episodes!

In the meantime, here are some screencaps from Episode 0, featuring yours truly. Wait patiently until March and you may actually hear me speak!
