Picture of the month

Here's a new picture of the month.
I took this one at Manticore XV.

I rather like this one as I shot it without a flash in a room only illuminated by candlelight.


Here's a link to the page of all the pictures I took at Manticore XV: http://larp-gallery.eu/main.php?g2_itemId=3156

Great weekend

Last weekend brought us Manticore XV: Thanatos. It was a stressfull event to organise but only due to the fact that we only had access to the buildings at Friday noon (normally we have access on Thursday evening). But luckily the crew was used to working under stress and in the end the stress was almost non existant.
According to the feedback we're getting it was considered even better as Manticore XIV (which was considered one of the best, if not the best). This of course makes the team very proud and in fact the Great Storyteller (Vince) has already started on the script of Manticore XVI.

With Manticore XV we also started the promo of my new larp: Calam. Calam is a new kind of larp in Belgium (as far as I know at least). It has no 'on paper skills' that can be used during the game. Everything is via roleplay (besides some small exceptions). First feedback of the site (www.calam.eu) is very positive, so I do hope we'll get a lot of participants.

Later this week I'll post some pictures of Manticore XV that I took

News and a teaser

Manticore XV is very nearby, only 2 weeks to go.
The crew is really anxious for this one and we see the same amongst our players. They are more active on the forum (manticore.oneiros.be/forum) and they are holding their own IC get togethers.

But Manticore is at this moment not my only larp I'm working at. There is of course Banapsis (2009) and a new one that will remain nameless for at least a week or so :-)
But I would like to give you a small insight in what it's about with this small teaser

It was early in the morning that Jorge got out of his tent. Still in his smallclothes he walked up to a nearby tree and let nature have it's flow. When that was done he looked at his surroundings and smiled. He saw the metal boys of that king, knights they call themselves, keep a good watch at what he and the rest of his clan were doing. Well, they were in for a surprise once the others would arrive.
Holding his amulet in his right hand he thanked the spirit of his greatfather for the opportunity that was given to him. Soon he might get his revenge, yes soon.
