Welcome back to another episode of Denim Wrapped Nightmares, where Berly and LA dive into Supernatural Season 8, Episode 11: "LARP and the Real Girl" - and yes, it's exactly as nerdy as it sounds!What Went Down:Our episode kicks off with poor Ed the accountant getting literally torn apart by invisible horses (talk about a rough night!), followed by Lance projectile vomiting blood all over an interrogation room mirror. The Winchesters investigate and discover both deaths are connected to a LARPing group called Moondoor, where everyone dresses up as elves and orcs and takes their foam sword battles very seriously.The Good Stuff:Charlie's back! Our favorite hacker queen is now ruling over a bunch of LARPers and looking fabulous doing itDean gets fully costumed up and is way into it (that Braveheart speech though!)Sam meets a flirty elf in the tech tent (and maybe visits her tent later, according to Berly's headcanon)The mustache-sporting sheriff who's just happy to let the FBI handle the weird stuffThe Monster:Turns out the real villain is Boltar the Furious (and boy, is he ever furious), who's been using a captive fairy named Gilda to murder anyone who gets too close to his beloved Queen Charlie. His evil plan? Kill everyone, wipe Charlie's memory, and force her to make him king. Therapy would've been cheaper, buddy.The Resolution:Charlie saves the day by destroying the spell book, freeing Gilda and turning Boltar's real sword back into harmless foam. Dean promptly punches the creep's lights out because he was SO done with this whole situation. The fairy tribunal takes Boltar away (and honestly, we'd watch that episode), and our heroes join an epic LARPing battle because sometimes you just need to have a little fun.Gore Counter:2 blood splooges One extremely disturbing quartering sceneLance's face literally bleeding from every orifice (yikes!)The hosts loved the Dean-Charlie friendship, the surprisingly impressive Moondoor setup, and Dean's complete transformation from LARP-mocker to enthusiastic participant.

EP-120 Parental Warning - Accelerationists Ahead Hey parents, have you heard of O9A, 764, or CVLT? Not covered by mainstream media, but their work is demonstrated on a national scale. These are online groups hunting your children for exploitation, extortion, blackmail, and for the lulz. Their ideology and methodology are often tied to Satanism, but the Department of Justice has come up with a term that better describes these dangerous terror networks: Nihilistic Violent Extremist (NVE). The What: O9A: Order of Nine Angels. This is an international phenomenon that started in the 1990's, and can be said to have birthed modern Nihilistic Violent Extremist networks. The underpinning ideological foundation of the Order of Nine Angels is said to be esoteric and satanic, but often the search for why obscures the nihilistic absence of philosophy. The underlying ideological foundation could be seen as a mask covering the true nature, which is simply the wielding of the tools: using violence to accelerate societal destabilization. The tool is the foundation. Associations with neo-Nazis or Satanists merely shows the vehicles of influence. The Order of Nine Angels has an international footprint, but its influence on other domestic organizations is what I see as its legecy. 764: This group demonstrates the accelerationism and decentralization within the Nihilistic Violent Extremist terrorism superset. 764 was founded in Texas by teenagers, which adds even further to the complexity of the NVE problem, often children are the perpetrators of network expansion within their own age cohort. At this point 764 is an old marker, as these accelerationist operators change names to avoid detection. A decentralized terror network has been created. Some have dubbed this decentralized network as The Com. "764 is a violent online network that seeks to destroy civilized society through the corruption and exploitation of vulnerable populations, which often include minors. The 764 network's accelerationist goals include social unrest and the downfall of the current world order, including the U.S. Government." DOJ criminal complaint against the founders of 764 CVLT: Pronounced "cult", this group within the Nihilistic Violent Extremism network has been exposed in the last year through multiple arrests and federal charges. Within the charging documents the government states clearly, "CVLT members participated in their online child exploitation activities because they wanted to create an army of sadist followers." The first arrests were in Texas, but more followed across the country from New Jersey to Hawaii. Just as this podcast was being produced, a new NVE group under The Com umbrella named Purgatory has taken responsibility for swatting attacks on college campuses across the United States. The Where: Our modern digital world has replaced so much of what living life used to be in a community. Now, community resides all over the globe within the box in your home. Our children have access to these amazing tools that connect society in ways that has never existed. However, these tools of connected productivity, learning, and entertainment can also be the playground for nefarious actors. Broken and abused members of our society use these tools to facilitate and accelerate the percentage of abused and victimized cohort within our population base. Discord. Many parents know about this shared server system as a gathering spot for online gaming groups. The creative way communities can organize and communicate centered around gaming strategy and organization burst the platform into global popularity. However, this platform can be used by nefarious actors organizing for different games and purposes, and a child that simply sees the platform as a way to connect with others can be unaware of the nefarious characters lurking on the server systems. Roblox. Yes. A child can voice chat on the Roblox platform. The system requires a child to be 13 years old. Interestingly, 13 years old is the exact age where children are given privacy rights from their parents by the state for matters of health. PlayStation Network. As a parent, this was the first platform where I personally recognized the dangers of open online voice chats. Most often, these voice chats are not focused on gaming, but instead the community a child connects with. This occurred especially during the Covid era of canceled schools and mobility reluctance. The network randomly places people, including adults, into voice chats with children as they group-up for game play. These are just a few of the more popular "gaming centric" platforms where children and parents might be unaware of nefarious actors lurking for nihilistic violent purposes. "The how" could be any online organizing platform, and often times contact in one leads to invites to others. An innocent conversation on Roblox or PlayStation can lead a victim to a whole community of nefarious actors on a Discord server waiting to pounce. The Why: This is where my experience and opinion deviate from the simple labeling of law enforcement or the mainstream media. The hyperbolic labeling takes away from the systemic cause. "The neo-Nazi Satanists are coming for your children!" they say. But again, I see this outward facing ideology more as a mask of the underlying root. The flashy forbidden symbology of Nazis and Satanists are used more as shocking content vehicles more so than an adherence to a philosophical, political, or spiritual doctrine. At the heart is the possibility that the core perpetrators are victims of abuse themselves; but instead of finding safe pathways of love and healing, they become trapped in a vicious cycle of revenge that creates more victims. The revenge focused on society instead of the original perpetrator. "Nihilism is a philosophy characterized by a belief in the meaninglessness of life and existence, the absence of objective value, and the denial of knowledge or truth." Google Gemini definition "Nihilism" used by the Department of Justice cuts away the noise of the accelerationist tools, and cuts to a deeper meaning behind the violent groups. The likely possibility that those caught in the snare of accelerationist doctrine or behavior patterns believe the reality that surrounds them is without meaning or societal cohesion. Our shared reality becomes more of a playground for their predatory instincts. They see society as abandoning them, applying no value, so they then value society without worth. The lack of meaning and worth on a broad scale easily transforms down to the individual level where victims are prey, and the prey are turned into members. This further justifies the belief system, as groupthink is created through a false mirror or lens of reality. Nihilism also opens the door to something I have witnessed myself in cultures born in online settings. There is a possibility these packs of accelerationists do it for the lulz. The President of the United States Donald Trump once said in a speech, "We do a little trolling." Through an online culture of anonymous characters, a nihilistic viewpoint has developed where lying and deceit have become standard operating procedure. All of the tools used by these Nihilistic Violent Extremist groups can be traced back to an anonymous online culture of duplicity. Innocent trolling with memes that point out hypocrisy have morphed into people playing characters online for hidden goals and purposes. These LARPers (Live Action Role Play) mask themselves in a character. This allows them to behave in deceitful ways without remorse or consequence as they are playing a character and their identity is anonymous. This concept of LARPing seems to have 'accelerated' in recent years as more and more, people have dropped the veil of anonymity, choosing to live in reality as the LARP they constructed. No matter the probability of the possibilities discussed, Nihilistic Violent Extremist groups are a result of an abandoned segment of society that sees no value in reality. They are fueled by an accelerated tiered program of violence and control. The How: The pernicious nature of these extremist groups often resides in their age. The perpetrators are often in the same peer group as their victims. The founders of the 764 group were 15 and 16 when they started their venture into creating and accumulating child sexual abuse material. The tactics used by groups like 764 and CVLT within the superset of The Com are disturbing. The nihilistic predators find their victims in the open digital spaces. They target them through a tiered system of trust and exploitation, walking the victim through progressive steps toward ultimate violent ends. What starts with innocent or embarrassing progresses to abusive and illegal. Often the predators seek pornographic images or videos that they feed to their network for entertainment, but then turn back toward their victim for extortion and control. The process escalates from grooming to violent extorsion. A recent federal case resulted in a guilty plea from a Florida 19 year old man for possession of child sexual abuse material. He had in his possession 8,300 videos and images of exploitation. He had a folder on his computer dedicated to videos and images of victims that carved his online handle into their skin. This is just one of many examples. There are numerous federal cases where the tiered process of victimization led to bombing and murder attempts. The Department of Justice mentions nihilism, Satanism, and occult practices as the root philosophy or cause, but what is missed is the gamification of abuse. The predators become involved in a competition to create victims and earn "trophies". An ecosystem of abuse has been created where even the victims become wrapped up in the culture of the child sexual abuse material alternate reality game. Solutions In Our Digital Reality: One solution is easy for parents: Actively engage and monitor your children's online participation and networks. Speak clearly to them about the dangers and markers to watch out for. But honestly, that doesn't work. Kids from strong family structures is not what online groomers are looking for. These extremist groups prey on children without strong family structures. The core problem is at the intersection of privacy, digital anonymity, and children's rights. The core problem is our society. Good parents with strong family structures have looked away as the state gives rights to children to autonomously make health decisions. 13 years old has been designated as some quasi legal age for medical privacy and autonomous access to open internet platforms. More and more children are thrust into the role of mature decision maker in a world where predators have access to their spaces. In our modern digital age, the natural exploration of children within their peer group has been corrupted by the erosion of the bonds in our shared reality. The base corruption of our economic and bureaucratic systems has led to a crisis in accountability. The bond of societal norms has been degraded as individual realities exist outside of a shared environment, both for the successful and the neglected. Are the nihilists winning? Have we lost meaning in our reality where a rules based society and common rights and wrongs have been obscured past the point of no return? Accelerationists feed on a system of celebrity. Fame for the sake of fame regardless of right, wrong, or achievement. The constructed reality of fake celebrities has opened the door to this movement. As a society we must reject the constructs presented to us, and uplift those in our communities achieving meaningful contribution. Uplifting examples of local aspiration for good, and service to others, is one way we can stem the tide of the chaotic accelerationist's reality. Stable good parents must take on a larger role in society beyond their own family structure. An independent journalist, named Bx is at the tip of the spear covering this modern phenomenon of online accelerationism. You can find her reports on X here.

What can LARP teach us about pedagogy, community, and collective world-making? artist, researcher, curator and mentor in Game Design, Carina Erdmann joins Miguel Prado & Mattin to talk games as art, hacking everyday platforms, the politics of play, and why we might need to train our social muscles for futures that don't yet exist. This conversation moves through conspiracy as collective thinking, the limits of empathy, and the careful work of attunement in collaborative play. Along the way, we touch on opacity and prefigurative practices, communal living experiments like the ones exercised at PAF, and what it means to rehearse for a revolution in these bleak conditions.

In this week's episode, we chat with Garrett about highly effective cult leaders, a curse of potential unkillability, and a table of players that rotates GMing duties (and systems!) for each campaign. This was a really thoughtful conversation about short game sessions, building shared ownership of the world, and what it means to be a GM. Plus, three of the other members of Garrett's table shared their perspectives with us as well! Garrett has a wealth of knowledge about TTRPG systems. Here are some of the systems that Garrett mentions in this episode:Swords Without MasterArs MagicaNitrate CityMasksMonster of the WeekSpire: The City Must FallDungeon World, which we heard about from PrimBlades in the DarkBoondock CartomancyLasers and Feelings, of which we played a very fun hack called Radical Catgirl AnarchyKids on BikesWe hear about a LARP gone wrong in this episode. To hear about LARP gone right, check out our interviews with Andrew (who told us about Legacies LARP) and Rex (who told us about Gothic LARP). Garrett also publishes TTRPGs! Check out Garrett's Itch page for some fun creative GMless games, and also this (now-closed) Kickstarter for another system now under development.We also hear from some other members of the table! They're also extremely knowledgeable about TTRPG systems:Jason mentions Monster Hearts, Dungeon World, Questlandia, Girl by Moonlight, and City Planning Department. Jared mentions Always/Never/Now and Blister Critters. Jared publishes TTRPGs too! Check out Jared's Itch page for solo journalling games, micro games, and missions for The Company.Chris mentions Uranium Chef and Alas for the Awful Sea.A special thanks to Jason, Jared, and Chris for taking the time to share their experiences! We're very grateful to all of you for seeing a surprise email from a stranger about your home TTRPG game and still taking the time to record some audio for us. We reached out to all of the Bucket Buddies, but didn't hear back from the rest by release time. (Also, we checked out City Planning Department after we heard about it from Jason. We liked it so much that we'll be playing it in a episode later this season with a special guest! So an additional thanks for that recommendation.)Thanks to Ruckgar of Orc Style for providing this week's intro!

Jackie and MJ are back for this week's Second Helpings! MJ talks about how they learned early that children's show lessons aren't based in reality, and Jackie FINALLY finishes explaining the finger claps! Buzzballz is starting to sell inflatable novelty pools, Jackie talks some "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" talk, MJ says the scene in "Enchanted" with the rats and pigeons rushing into an apartment hit too close to home, and Jackie gives her feedback on the OG "How to Train Your Dragon." Then it's onto breaking down the difference between cosplay and LARP while also apologizing to the campus LARPers she roasted back in her college days. The death of Hulk Hogan brings up memories of the of the wretched leaked Hulk Hogan sex tape, and the death of Ozzy has MJ and Jackie reflecting on "The Osbournes" being their first introduction to The Prince of Darkness, which then leads into a deeper discussion on the relationships the different generations hold to music. "Vanderpump Rules" is servin' up some classic early 2010's fits! MJ and Jackie discuss how the internet reacted to Jennifer Love Hewitt having the AUDACITY to get older, and the weird obsession with people wanting her to feud with Sarah Michelle Gellar. Winona Ryder is also back on the circuit and doesn't get why actresses be slicin' and dicin' their faces, ol' Gooper is above memoirs so she's goopin' out a biography, and Justin Timberlake is ruining the tour....the world tour... Bobby Flay says he's pissed no one brings food to his BBQs, that is except Jon "set a man on fire during a 1990 college hazing" Hamm's wife, and "Amy Bradley Is Missing" is another cruise doc but it's not about poop, but a 1980's missing person case, all that and even more on this week's Second Helpings!! Want even more Page 7?

In this episode, Savannah shares with Julie the fact that her friends, when in town for the weekend, asked if all the male-to-female crossdressers in the room could be considered LARPers. Live Action Role Players embody fantasy and sci/fi characters of their own creation, coming together as a community to "live" out their fantasy realm in real life ... whether that be as a convention center, a city park, or at someone's residence. There are many contrasts and comparisons to the lives of cosplayers, crossplayers, LARPers, and gender expansion. At the end of the day, each allows the wearer of the identity to live more "out loud"!-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“. While both focus on the male-to-female (mtf) crossdresser, “Defining a New Normal” delves into crossdressing and relationships and “Discovering Your True Identity” looks at the individual crossdressing journey. Her latest achievements are two TEDx Talks, one entitled "Demystifying the Crossdressing Experience" and the other "13 Milliseconds: First Impressions of Gender Expression". Savannah is a male-to-female dual-gender crossdresser who is visible in the Upstate of South Carolina, active in local groups and advocating as a public speaker at LGBTQ+ conferences and workshops across the United States. At the moment, Savannah is working on more books, blogs, and projects focused on letting every crossdresser–young and mature–find their own confidence, expression, identity and voice.IG @savannahhauk | FB @savannahhauk | FB @livingwithcrossdressing | web @livingwithcrossdressing.com------JULIE RUBENSTEIN is a dedicated ally to transgender community and the certified image consultant and co-owner of Fox and Hanger.
