Wozu braucht man eigentlich 400 Seiten Regelwerk (oder noch mehr, wenn man an den D&D-Platzhirsch mit seinen drei Grundbüchern denkt), wenn man doch mit 40 Seiten genau so viel Spaß haben kann? Das fragen wir Sebastian Hahn a.k.a. Seba, einen der bekanntesten OSR-Blogger und Rollenspielautoren in Deutschland. Und wir gehen der Frage nach, wie eng oder weit man die Grenzen des OSR-Begriffs ziehen muss, um nicht gleich die gesamte Rollenspiel-Szene gegen uns aufzubringen.

Paula und Tom unterhalten sich über LARP im Sommer.

We all grew up playing games — I fondly remember playing Go Fish with my grandma and her next door neighbor, as a 90s kid who grew up with an NES, it felt like every console generation was a leap forward in graphics and game quality, and, regardless of who you're cheering for, tomorrow's World Cup final will be watched by an estimated 2 billion people.But even though at some point many of us stop playing games—even if we don't stop paying attention to them—we hold onto the experiences, the feelings, and the lessons: what they taught us about ourselves, each other, and the world around us. And it's because games play an important role in human development and tell us so much about societies and cultures at large, the relationship between play, games, and learning has always been a focus of our work. It's also been the lifelong interest of my guest today, game designer, artist, author, and researcher, Dr. Mary Flanagan.Mary Flanagan is the founder of Tiltfactor game studio, whose tabletop and digital games intentionally tackle a number of social issues. The tagline on the Tiltfactor homepage reads “Game design for social change” with the challenge, “Can you make a more just and equitable world with games? At Tiltfactor, we believe we can.” Mary has also authored several incredible books, including the pivotal Critical Play about radical game design, and coauthored, Playing Oppression: The Legacy of Conquest and Empire in Colonialist Board Games. Given Mary Flanagan's unique and consequential focus, I wanted to sit down with her to see what we can learn at the intersection of play and critical pedagogy.Playing Oppression : The Legacy of Conquest and Empire in Colonialist Board GamesCritical Play: Radical Game DesignCritical.play on Instagramhttp://tiltfactor.org/https://resonym.com/

RO KHANNA OR RO COMMIE? THIS IS WHO'S RUNNING IN 2028 This morning we follow the money and the lies straight from Beijing to the West Bank to Jefferson City, and we ask why a communist's family, a congressman's campaign trip, and a tax overhaul all landed on the same weekend. We break down the new reporting on China, Russia, and Iran weaponizing America's data center backlash, then we roll the tape on Ro Khanna's West Bank stunt and let Tom Pappert help us separate what happened from what Khanna wants you to believe. Then Camellia sits down to walk you through the two Missouri amendments on your August ballot before you ever pick up the pen.

Gijs van Bilsen on Live Action Learning and LARPsThis episode of Experience Points features Gijs van Bilsen, founder of the Live Action Learning Institute, who shares how live-action role-playing (LARP) can transform imagination into a powerful tool for personal and professional growth. Gijs explains how stepping into fictional but recognizable scenarios allows people to safely practice skills like leadership, spontaneity, and confidence. Drawing on examples from corporate trainings and his own life, he introduces the Think, Shape, Feel, Do framework; a method for summoning the version of yourself you most want to embody. Gijs also unpacks the concept of "bleed," where qualities from a played character spill into everyday behavior, offering lasting change. Through practical demonstration and storytelling, he invites listeners to see imagination not as a gift, but as a skill that sparks curiosity, deepens empathy, and drives real-world transformation.If you liked this episode please consider commenting, sharing, and subscribing.Subscribing is absolutely free and ensures that you'll get the next episode of Experience Points delivered directly to you.I'd also love it if you took some time to rate the show!I live to lift others with learning.  So, if you found this episode useful, consider sharing it with someone who could benefit.Also make sure to visit University XP online at www.universityxp.comUniversity XP is also on Twitter @University_XP and on Facebook and LinkedIn as University XPAlso, feel free to email me anytime at dave@universityxp.comGame on!Get the full transcript and references for this episode here: https://www.universityxp.com/podcast/168Support the show

The party is granted to stay in ChillStone Keep, they learn quickly that work and contribution is the currency of the Keep.

A 37-year-old woman was able to convince some church folk she was 12...a woman was stopped for going 106 mph in a 65 because she was late for a LARP convention...and a man who caused a car crash also tried to steal a medical helicopter!

Buteo, Aurek & Cart interrogate a prisoner at Chill Stone Keep. Enid reconnects with her familiar, Keen.DM-DuganPlayers-Audi, Cody, Kent & Priscilla Music by- Suno

Matej Moško je divadelný vedec, estét, dramaturg, programový riaditeľ festivalu Scénická žatva, odborník na LARP a človek, ktorého meno v Lužifčákovi zaznieva podozrivo často. S Gabom sa poznajú ešte z VŠMU, spolu robili v rádiu TLIS rannú šou Ranná nevoľnosť, rôzne projekty, kaviáre, kvízy a dlhý zoznam vecí, ktoré zneli výborne, ale svet na ne zjavne ešte nebol pripravený.V epizóde sa dozviete aj čo je LARP, odkiaľ vznikol, prečo sa pri ňom nie vždy vyhráva, ako fungujú bojovky, gangy, postapo hry aj psychologické LARPy. Matej rozpráva aj o detstve na východe, malej škole so spojenými ročníkmi a študentských časoch, ako funguje Fond na podporu umenia, prečo Matej odišiel z jeho komisií, čo sa podľa neho pokazilo pri novej rade FPU, prečo má štát podporovať kultúru a čo vlastne znamená organizovať Scénickú žatvu, najväčší festival neprofesionálneho divadla na Slovensku.Ak sa vám epizóda páči, necenzurovaná verzia s otázkami od patreonov (o 33 minút dlhšia) je na:

We'll talk about Silver, the future of taxation, student visas and more. We also need to pay some special attention to the legal peril communist Twitch personality, Hasan Piker, finds himself in with the Feds after his performative visit to Cuba.

As our party reaches Chill Stone Keep, they find defenses high and a not-so-great welcome.DM-DuganPlayers- Kent, Priscilla, Cody & AudiOpening & Closing music by- Suno

Erika Gangsei has run the interpretive media team at SFMOMA for nearly two decades, and for 15 of those years she's been quietly building one of the most coherent game-based programming initiatives inside any major cultural institution in the country.In this conversation, we get into the origins of Play SFMOMA, which launched in 2011, before games as an art form had any real institutional legitimacy, and what it actually took to sustain a program built on deliberate experimentation rather than proven outcomes. Erika talks about the decision to treat game designers the way SFMOMA treats sound artists and filmmakers: as essential creative collaborators, not afterthoughts. She makes a sharp distinction between gamification (which museums were chasing then, and still are) and authentic game-based programming — and explains why that difference matters for visitors.We also talk about the institutional immune system. Erika uses the phrase literally: museums have white blood cells that attack unfamiliar things, and Play SFMOMA has spent 15 years slowly inoculating SFMOMA to interactivity. That means running an AR game jam knowing none of the prototypes would go into production, because the goal was to socialize the idea internally, not ship a product.Other topics: why interpretive departments may actually be a better entry point for games than curatorial, the case for analog and paper-based work in a screen-fatigued world, what it means when a founder-driven program finally becomes an entity unto itself, and the LARPocracy research project—an EU Horizon-funded study using Nordic LARP as a model for deliberative democracy.This one is essential listening if you're inside an institution trying to build something with games and doing it without a clear mandate from above.(00:00) - Meet Erika and Play (01:08) - Broadway Trip Catch Up (03:19) - Origin Story to SFMOMA (08:14) - Why Play SFMOMA Started (13:38) - Where Games Belong (29:01) - Analog Play and Fatigue (34:48) - Scaling Up and Larpocracy For more insights, signup for my newsletter.Jamin Warren founded Gameplayarts, an advisory that helps museums and cultural organizations engage with the world of gaming.

New pod is out! We talk solid ties at a spring wedding, Derby looks for betting on a horse race, and the fantasy forward stylings of the Renaissance Pleasure Faire and making your vintage menswear work for LARPing with swords and Nerf blasters. The biggest discussion is our review of Esquire's Big Black Book Style Manual from F/W 2009 and S/S 2011. With its classic styling and expressive writing, it's quite surprising that this is from that infamous aughts period. Overall, it's quite different from what you can read from the magazine today— and most contemporary menswear media in general! 0:00 - Dressing for the Derby at Santa Anita Racetrack 20:40 - Wedding Stuff 28:16 - Esquire's Big Black Book 1:02:20 - Nerf and Ren Faire Ethan's Blog: https://alittlebitofrest.com/2026/04/19/larp-ing-around-at-nerf-the-horse-races-the-renaissance-faire/ https://alittlebitofrest.com/2026/04/19/esquires-big-black-book-f-w-2009-s-s-2011-is-suprisingly-okay/ Support us on Patreon and join the Discord: https://www.patreon.com/styleanddirection/ Follow us on Instagram! www.instagram.com/styleanddirection/ Podcast is produced by MJ

Emma & Katie get dressed up in the Georgian finest to Larp with Keri Russell in Austenland! Also discussed: the distinctions between members of the Sciruidae family, Magic: The Gathering, how Emma wants a creppy doll room. Also of note: The LARP group at Katie high school was called Amtguard. The woman who built the incredible miniature rooms in the basement of the Art Institute of Chicago was named Narcissa(1) Niblack Thorne. Here's what we're talking about.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you're likely to have noticed the discourse has been set abuzz with talk of a crisis of masculinity. While the debate is out on whether the real culprit is feminism, toxic masculinity, the Nanny State, or automation, men are indeed struggling to find themselves. The rates of loneliness, drug abuse, and suicide among men have reached record highs.In response, a proliferation of “manosphere” influencers has cropped up, selling a variety of remedies: Nietzschean vitalism, a return to the Bronze Age with a stoic regimen of powerlifting and renouncing seed oils, going to Latin Mass and finding yourself a tradwife. Gender norms, they tell us, have been muddied by the waters of relativism and so-called theories of performativity. Yet their vision of recovering real gender norms feels painfully superficial, even LARP-y.What is masculinity, at its core? And how can we—men and women—begin to recover what it means to embrace our embodiment, in all of its glory and fragility? Few would think to look to the example of Pier Paolo Pasolini—a queer, Marxist, lapsed-Catholic writer and filmmaker—for answers. But cracking through conventional thinking is kinda what we do best at cracks in pomo.Eve Tushnet joins Cracks in Pomo for a live discussion at KGB.

"One of the highlights of the Finnish larp is heavy, hard emotions. Crying is very much associated with Nordic style and Finnish style larping." Have you ever wanted to trauma bond with a hundred strangers aboard a spaceship while fleeing an alien threat? Do you want to be emotionally devastated while making hard choices about love, sacrifice, and humanity? Then Finnish larp is for you! Laura Kröger is the lead producer and narrative director of Odysseus, a large-scale sci-fi larp run in Helsinki, Finland in 2019 and 2024, in both Finnish and English. Built for 104 players, it's set in an original science fiction universe inspired by classics such as Battlestar Galactica. Each participant has a pre-written role with past relationships, loyalties, secrets and fears, but the choices and emotional journeys are in the hands of the players. Beyond the script, the set of Odysseus is mind-blowingly realistic, considering it was built into an elementary school as a temporary installation during summer break. Laura talks to us about all the logistics of running such a massively complex larp, including how food and lodging is handled, costuming, and emotional support. I especially enjoyed hearing about how battles and "injuries" are handled. There is even a medical bay with some very graphic special effects "injuries" where "surgeons" are operating. (You can see more photos of Odysseus here). Odysseus is currently running an Indiegogo campaign because they are trying to build a permanent installation so they can run Odysseus continuously without having to constantly build it and tear it down. If you're interested in experiencing this yourself, consider supporting their campaign for a chance to attend.   Full Show Notes   Episode Sponsors We are immensely grateful to our sponsors this season: REA Patreon Backers, PG's Playhouse, Buzzshot, and the Reality Escape Convention.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.comKat Rosenfield has, as she often does, written brilliantly of late. I especially enjoyed her nuanced takes on the Minnesota shootings. We discussed intrusive thoughts on recent political events, millennials seeking meaning, the adultery based cancellation of Jay Asher, and whether James Franco was morally wrong to LARP as a college student so as to pick up college women. A great pod imo.

Brad Creasser returns to the podcast to discuss his turn as Cinematographer on this fan favorite episode. They discuss the joy of working with Felicia Day and her return to the role of Charlie Bradbury. They celebrate late director Jeannot Szwarc. Rob and Rich learn a little something about Celtic trees.
