Daniel & Lindsay chat with comedian, Cyrus Naderpour, about his experience attending War of the Barons, a historically-inspired "medieval weekend simulator," as he calls it. They discuss the combat at the event, roleplay, camaraderie, how larping can connect to learning about history, the Cabbage Games, and much more! Episode contains adult language and adult themes.
Daniel and Lindsay continue their chat with Zan Campbell (Owner/Gamerunner) and Meg Sanders (Executive Director) of Weekend Warrior Experience, which we established is definitely a larp!
Daniel and Lindsay chat with Zan Campbell, founder and owner of Fell & Fair and Weekend Warrior Experience, as well as Meg Sanders, the event's Executive Director and Professor of Medieval Studies. But is it a larp? The website says it is not, but the full answer is clearly much more complicated...
Daniel and Lindsay chat with Eirik Fatland: interaction designer, writer, larpwright, and one of the founders of the Nordic Larp movement. They discuss Eirik's experiences, the nature of larp, its history, and much more.
Daniel and Lindsay introduce themselves and explain how they got into larping and their own experiences in within the hobby, what made them want to start a podcast on the subject, and what their hopes are for the future of the podcast.
