There’s a new show in town whose mandate is to spotlight original digital content. It’s called “Display” and it is excellently curated (and no, I’m not just saying that). The LARPs team was thrilled to have been selected for the show’s inaugural episode. We’re in good company!
Check out Ep. 1 below, then go watch EVERYTHING:
And man, am I WIPED. That was one of the craziest, most awesome events I have ever been too. Still recovering from the drive, still trying to catch up on sleep. But it was so so worth it. Played some games, watched some screenings, met some great people (of course, the ones I was travelling with weren’t so bad either). All in all, a wonderful experience which I can’t wait to repeat next year.
Wait, what? Oh yes. WE’LL BE BACK NEXT YEAR WITH A BOOTH BECAUSE WE WON BEST SERIES OMG!!!!! Time to get our merch on…
Some photos and tweets to paint a more accurate picture of the madness than I ever could:
LARPs had landed. Repeat: LARPs has landed. And LARPs is hungry. Hungry and tired. #gencon

Julian’s back from Salt Lake City and brought back some delightful presents:
Thanks buddy!We received some media coverage over the last week.
The first one is the latest Man Of The Hour post, examining Episode 6.
“…rarely am I this anxious to learn more…”
The second is courtesy of The Voice of E. Elliott Miller writes:
“I recommend LARPs highly…It is entertaining, witty, and has heart. I can’t wait until season 2.”
