We get together the first Saturday of the month and everybody is really cool.”“I don't know, I mean it's one thing to play around a table, but I'm not sure about getting all dressed up and acting it out.”“It's not like that. Dress however you want; nobody judges you and everybody is chill.”“Fine, I'll give it a try”That was the recruiting pitch I got for my first ever LARP. Live Action Roleplaying. The guy who was helping run the events was really enthusiastic and he convinced me to give it a try. I grabbed a rulebook, put together a character, got it approved, and then showed up for my first ever LARP.Now I am sure most LARPs out there could easily be described the way that guy pitched his LARP to me. Today, having the experience I have in a wide variety of games and conventions I know that most people will be welcoming, you will fit right in and I don't doubt you will have a great time.Not so much for my first one.You see it was a Vampire the Masquerade game and it was a crappy experience.The costume you wore did matter, everyone was clickier then a spoken word club on meth. And nobody was chill.That experience put me off LARPing for a long time, but over the years I have learned that I just had a bad first experience. LARPing has a lot going for it and a lot of permutations out there that might not seem like LARPing, but are.On this episode Mike, Christina and our special guest, Jen will be talking LARPing. What it means to LARP, what types of LARPs are out there and how to take advantage of this version of our great hobby.Mike, have you done a lot of LARPing?[Kick to Mike]How about you Christina, are you a LARP enthusiast?[Kick to Christina]Jen, You are the subject matter expert.

Val world was shaken when she learned her father, now a vampire himself, was being held in the prince's custody. Everett was confronted by his own parents, who had thought he was dead, and he promised to visit later to explain. But before turning to personal matters, Michael Arden, at the prince's request, sent several Tremere to apply for the vacant officer role in the department. Who will they choose among an eclectic group that somehow even includes a kindred only recently-embraced by the Pyramid 2.0.  Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt), Del Borovic (@deltastic), and Pam Sparrow. Enjoying Canada By Night?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun (https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/)- Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice) Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic- Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/)- X/Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)

Having followed Val's journey from childhood to New Haven, we return now to the town in the present day. The coterie has just successfully overthrown Toasta Rosa and elevated a new prince, the ghoul Matthew Theobald. Evangeline left with Theobald's permission, and Everett and Val were left to navigate the new political situation, and the fallout from the recent violence. On top of everything else, how will they handle the sudden appearance of their parents in New Haven?  Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt), Del Borovic (@deltastic), and Pam Sparrow. Enjoying Canada By Night?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun (https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/)- Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice) Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic- Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/)- X/Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)

Mháire hat einer fantastischen Besetzung von Spielenden Vampire in Südfrankreich gespielt. Wir werden das als lose Reihe von One Shots mit teils gleichbleibender, teils wechselnder Besetzung fortsetzen.

In the film "The Masquerade" city leaders, developers and community activists gather around a table for a dinner party. They're discussing a plan to tear down the city's arts district and replace it with a “smart city.” One of the guests is a mysterious illusionist, played by former San Francisco 49er Vernon Davis. He is the magical catalyst for getting guests to be radically honest about their personal motivations for backing or resisting the high-tech development. Emmy-nominated filmmaker Joslyn Rose Lyons directed "The Masquerade." 

Today, we go behind the veil with the Emmy-nominated filmmaker of “The Masquerade.” Then, one of KALW's DJ's brings us that vibey, gettin-ready-to-go-out kind of energy. And, a singer/songwriter from South Texas looks back at his early days in the bay.

Val managed to find a motel to sleep away the day in, and told Will what she could about the danger of sunlight before passing out. Will woke up early and, unable to wake Val, he ate too much candy, made himself sick, and flooded the bathroom trying to clean up his mess. Val awoke to a flooded room and a very angry motel owner, who accepted Val's bribe but called the police anyway. Can Val outrun a police force that now believes she has kidnapped Will and is responsible for the Wulfpack's massacre? Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt), Del Borovic (@deltastic), and Pam Sparrow. Enjoying Canada By Night?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun (https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/)- Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice) Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic- Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/)- X/Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)

Charles Cowlam stands out as one of the most remarkable con artists of nineteenth-century America. He talked his way into receiving pardons from both President Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis. Through deception, he secured a role investigating Lincoln's assassination. He preyed on lonely widows, attempted to manipulate a Florida election, and created a secret society to steal money. His cons were as bold as they were relentless. My guest, Frank W. Garmon Jr., has written the definitive book on this colorful charlatan. It's called A Wonderful Career in Crime: Charles Cowlam's Masquerades in the Civil War Era and Gilded Age.

Val eliminated the leader of the Wulfpack and quickly found the money and hard drive she had been sent to retrieve, but as she set about clearing the estate of all evidence of kindred presence, she heard a small voice belonging to a five-year-old boy named Will. With both of his parents deceased, Val decided she could not leave him to a fate of mind-wiping or worse, so they packed up some toys, set the house on fire, and drove away. What can Val possibly do next, now that she has a child in tow? Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt), Del Borovic (@deltastic), and Pam Sparrow. Enjoying Canada By Night?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun (https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/)- Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice) Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic- Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/)- X/Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)

Incredibly, Juniper Lux was very pleased with the performance Val had arranged, and Val was awarded the mission to hunt down the Wulf Pack. She made her way down the west coast to Bayfield, California, her targets' last known location, and her investigation put her on the trail of two missing tour buses. When she arrived at the Hall Family Winery, she found the Gangrel and began to stalk them one by one. Can she find a way to eliminate a powerful Gangrel leader on his home turf? Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt), Del Borovic (@deltastic), and Pam Sparrow. Enjoying Canada By Night?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun (https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/)- Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice) Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic- Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/)- X/Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)

By the year 2000, five years had passed for Val with Brooke by her side. A Gangrel group has gone rogue, and Sheriff Cross summoned Val to the Blue Rose Hotel amidst an Elysium soirée, to convince two judges to award her the assignment of hunting them down. She easily swayed the first judge, but the second, Juniper Lux, demanded that Val first find a uniquely talented mortal willing to become a Toreador. Can Val arrange a performance with enough wow factor before the judges announce their decision?  Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt), Del Borovic (@deltastic), and Pam Sparrow. Enjoying Canada By Night?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun (https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/)- Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice) Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic- Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/)- X/Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)

Five years have passed since Val was welcomed into the Camarilla, and she has learned much from Sheriff Cross, not only becoming familiar with the politics of the Camarilla, but honing her many criminal skills. In her most recent assignment, Val was introduced to Brooke, a mortal human, and worked with her on a crucial bank heist for the princess. After the success of the heist, in the heat of the moment and the adrenaline, Val and Brooke kissed. Could this be the beginning of something new for Val?  Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt), Del Borovic (@deltastic), and Pam Sparrow. Enjoying Canada By Night?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun (https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/)- Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice) Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic- Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/)- X/Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic) 

This week, we're delighted to be joined by John J. Ryan from the unstoppable force that is Keep Flying. If you've seen them live, you know exactly why they're one of the most exciting and unique bands in the punk scene right now—blending high-energy punk rock with saxophones, trombones, and an unrelenting stage presence. We first met the band at last year's Four Chord Music Festival and instantly hit it off,so it was a real treat to catch up with John. We chatted just ahead of the release of their powerful new album Time and Tide, which dropped on April 24. John walks us through the band's journey, their DIY ethic, and what the rest of 2025 looks like for Keep Flying. Spoiler: they're not slowing down. Go spin Time and Tide now—available everywhere you get your music. With Nick away for the intro, Chris is joined by our good friends Gary Yay and Ade Holder from UK punk rock favourites Phinius Gage. We dive into some recent releases from The Ataris, Last Night Saved My Life, Orchards, and Propagandhi. We also have an exclusive first play of the new Phinius Gage single “Masquerade,” out May 16. Ade and Gary give us all the details on the song and what's next for the band. Apple Spotify Instagram Twitter Facebook Email

Val awoke in the hospital, recovering from the ordeal with her former coterie. Sheriff Cross explained that Val would have to seek the approval of Princess Cleopatra and she must pretend that she had only recently been embraced, but Val was also warned by another kindred to not lie to the Princess. An uncomfortable meeting ensued, and Val simply stated how she could use her skills to serve the Camarilla. Only after Cross vouched for Val and accepted a punishment of his own, was Val allowed to live.  Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt) and Del Borovic (@deltastic). Enjoying Canada By Night?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun (https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/)- Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice) Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic- Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/)- X/Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)

On today's show: we hear from a filmmaker who made a documentary about living with dwarfism, then musicians and poets will celebrate the late Paul Robeson, and a film questions if technology and money should outweigh the arts and people.

With their plan to kill the Anarchs in tatters, Val could not break free of Amy's control, even as her former coterie stabbed Cross with silver daggers. Fortuitously, Cross had planned for the worst, and officers Marcus Safe and Elizabeth Maddox barged in with silver bullets and brought Amy down. Val and Vincent's beasts faced off in a brutal brawl, but once again Cross came to the rescue. Before Val succumbed to her injuries, Cross fed her his own blood. But will Val survive the Camarilla's justice?  Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt) and Del Borovic (@deltastic). Enjoying Canada By Night?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun (https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/)- Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice) Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic- Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/)- X/Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)

Modern intimacy has metastasized into a performative theater where trauma scripts masquerade as connection. We audition for love, clutching personas forged in lack—each date a dress rehearsal for roles we never chose.

In this special Gen C episode, artist and world builder Sam Spratt discusses his career, creative journey, and innovative use of technology in art. He shares insights from his early life and education, the development of his artistic style, and the impact of his project 'Luci,' including his newest chapter Masquerade.The conversation delves into his unique use of AI in the mask maker system, the blending of human and digital artistry, and the ethical considerations of creating art in a digital age. Spratt also touches on the dynamics of the crypto art world and his approach to integrating traditional artistic values with modern tools.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
