I'm at Dragoncon this weekend! And the best part is that my oldest daughter, Erin, my Tuesday movie date, came with me! Another author who lives here in Florida, Marsha Moore, suggested we go while sitting in a writer's convention last year. And all year we've been preparing to go. For the past several weeks I've been working on a couple of costumes to wear since everyone Larps. I came up with ones that I thought suited the stories I write. Continue reading

I’m a big proponent of most nerdy things, but I have to admit that the idea of LARPing is still just so silly to me. I’ve seen the documentaries, and I can really get behind the community aspect of live action role playing, but it doesn’t stop me from giggling at grown adults running around a park, in costume, hitting each other with foam bats.
That said, I’d like cartoonist Nick Edwards to create a comic describing the ins and outs of just about anything I find objectionable. His cartoon introduction to LARPing brings humour and energy into a subject I have otherwise dismissed outright.

Hahahahaha… I was once invited to go LARPing. I couldn't bring myself to go. I was afraid I'd laugh.
This series is brilliant!
Hilarious!
So… civil war reenactors are LARPers, too! Heh.
Fun comic.
