Podcasts about dystopia rising

This week, we chat with Andrew from Legacies LARP about terrorizing the town as a fae abductor, depicting a demonic plague, and writing story for a long-running live-action role-playing game. This is a conversation about a very different type of storytelling experience in a game that's been running continuously for decades where each plot team only controls the narrative for six months at a time. (Also, if you're wondering, the town was called Fortnight long before the game Fortnite even existed.)Thanks to Legacies LARP for making this interview possible! We're talking about Legacies LARP this week because we really enjoyed learning about Gothic LARP with Rex last season. In addition to Legacies and Gothic, Andrew also mentions Shadow Accord and Dystopia Rising. This week's intro comes from Kaji, who's a player in Legacies LARP! We hope the demonic plague didn't get him. Go check out his Twitch channel.If you like the music on the show, go check out more of Reilly's music.

Trying to come up with a new character concept? Or maybe you've played a long time character like Ryan has and it's taking you at least two years to think of another idea? Guest host, Courtney Kraft, shares tips on coming up with a new character idea along with guests, Alexis George and Maxwell Colburn, experienced players with theatrical backgrounds that are known to play a variety of characters, principally in Dystopia Rising and Twin Mask. Guest host, Courtney Kraft, is a LARPer with over 20 years of experience and is currently a writer and performer with Dungeon Master. Her notable experiences include working with many gaming businesses including Geek & Sundry, Anime Expo, and G4. Alexis George is an editor and LARPer based out of Los Angeles. She currently is a player advocate at Twin Mask, and a writer and Operations Guide at the NorCal Dystopia Rising chapter. She can be found at @Alexisspeaking on Instagram and Twitter.Maxwell Colburn is a crafter, dramaturge, and LARPer based out of North Hollywood. He is currently an Operations Guide at the NorCal Dystopia Rising chapter. He came to LARPing through battle games and is still an avid stick jock. He can be found on Instagram @DeniablePlausability.

Hosts Cynthia Marie, Kai and Ryan have a full table discussion with guests Vivid Vivka, Aelflaed and Liam Neary on how Veteran players affect long time running games, how they shape the experiences for new players and the whole game world and the responsibility veterans, intermediate players and new players have to each other to keep a LARP community going. We also define different ways what makes a veteran player in a LARP. VividVivka is a one-woman virtuoso of all things geeky. She is an accomplished and seasoned costume designer and cosplayer, specializing in armor and detailed builds. She's a video-game fanatic, Magic: the Gathering obsessed, and has a long list of Waifus. She is currently on Dungeons and Dragons' Maze Arcana Twitch show "Sirens of the Realms", as Ghost. She also plays the Dungeons & Dragons NPC, the Black Viper. She actively participates in a Vampire: the Masquerade LARP, and has a steady hard obsession with LARPing at Twin Mask. Her collection of sparkly dice is to be envied but her rolls are terrible.Aelflaed is a model, cosplayer, and LARPer from Seattle. She began LARPing three year and immediately fell in love with it. She currently mainly plays Dystopia Rising, but is always ready for the next adventure in whatever world it may be. Liam Neary is an actor, prop maker, costumer, and Live Action Roleplayer! In his professional experience, he acted as a game runner for Dystopia Rising: Massachusetts, and has worked to broaden his horizons in the hobby by participating in various LARPs internationally. Liam is a nerd extraordinaire working in front of, and behind the camera. While in reality, we have suspicion to believe he may actually be a dead body piloted by 3 cats studying humanity for plots of world domination.Nevertheless, the less we know the better.

In this podcast, we present a no holds barred discussion on how to attain power through political roleplay, whether by guiding leadership or social engineering to compel others to defer to you. We discuss theories of attaining power (and keeping it) and we have examples from our own roleplay in LARPs and practical applications if this is the kind of character you want to play.Our guest for this podcast is Nolan Austin Goodyear, no stranger to vampire politics in LARPs, playing the current Harpy of La Sangre de Los Angeles. And Kai chimes in as a faction leader in Dystopia Rising and Omega speaks from his experience as the previous ruler of Twin Mask (as a PC, not an NPC) and a Camarilla Lawyer in previous vampire games.Nolan Austin Goodyear is a Los Angeles transplant from Atlanta, Georgia who has been telling stories his whole life. He has been the dungeon master for countless tabletop games, Head Storyteller for both Whispers of Atlanta and La Sangre de Los Angeles, and is working on his first novel. He encourages players to keep destroying their enemies and have as much fun as they can while doing so!
