Interlude 4 - The Larp playing cards deck

Promotion is one of the things larping has always needed. Only recently several people from our larp organisation finished our first major merchandise project, namely a deck of cards with ourselves on it.
 It was for "internal" use only but still, pretty good initiative. I learned about it halfway through it and was quite surprised so I ordered myself 1 deck (the other one is for a friend).

 Fun fact, I even found myself in it. Well I'm not the Ace of Spades....

                                           But there is always next year for that right folks?

 Here is the full set for those interested to see it. A couple of guys from the serbian Green Banner are also presented. All in all I quite like the selection.  

Interlude 3 - 2012 - the funny side.

Year is almost over and no events are planned in LARP Bulgaria until next spring. And so let us reflect on this year's adventures.

Note - this post will get expanded gradually as I sift through the photo galleries and archives.

 All in all it was a decent year. I'd say the one disappointment was the big game in July but otherwise it was ok. New people join up, old guys come back, some quit some wonder - the usual gig.

 We strengthened our ties with the serbian larpers and its a pretty accurate guess to say they'll be regular visitors to our games from now on. Now to lure in the croatians...

Interlude 2 - The cake

Oh I will probably burn in a suitably comfy hell for this...eventually. So, our clan leader has birthday today and as a loyal minion I decided to make him the most awesome larp cake ever made(tm). After many days and nights spent in my secret moonbase workshop I finally finished my project.


BUDGET: 300 gazilion mexican pesos, equal to over 9000 bulgarian leva or about 15 bucks for the cake, chocolate sweets and oreos.

MATERIALS: Cake, Oreos, chocolate sweets, toothpicks.

TOOLS: At least one working hand with a thumb and one more finger(rest are optional).

Clearly this dramatic cake diorama is unworthy of our glorious leader but I hope that he will find it his heart to accept the gesture, especially since there are Oreos in there. Seriously - Oreos!

So that no one mistakes it for something done in 10 minutes with stuff I bought from the supermarket, instead of secret cooking techniques passed on in my family for generations, I even included a label clearly saying
Larp Cake "EPIC" 9002 levs.

 

Still, maybe I should wear a helmet tonight, just in case Varg tries to kill me with a spoon. 

Oh yeah, there is a moral to the story too - never taking larping so seriously that you can't make or take a joke about it.
