Five days remain in the freeform #larp Golden Cobra Challenge! @jmstar.bsky.social rewrote the last chapter of #NineSpaceGames into a more general "how to make a one-hour larp" guide that might be helpful.

Read more about it and get creative this weekend!

Cards from #Aldsworth1811, the #DesperationRPG hack by @tenpenjenn.com. @jmstar.bsky.social recently played it and can report that it is very good. If you are a fan of the core game or all things Regency, this hack is for you! #TTRPGs #RPGs #gaming

One of @jmstar.bsky.social's favorite (and one of his favorite films generally) is Věra Chytilová's 1978 comedy Panelstory aneb Jak se rodí sídliště (English: Prefab Story; or How A Housing Estate is Born). He always wanted to capture the feeling of these stories in a game and here is The Apartment!

"The Apartment is a dark comedy about communal living at its worst." - @jmstar.bsky.social

The Apartment is a 2-hour committee larp for 8 participants with some savage twists and turns: living in community and sharing - or not sharing - limited resources.

Cool news to share about the Wesleyan event on the 23rd!

@lizziestark.bsky.social is joining @jmstar.bsky.social for the conversation about the history of play as a form of resistance and so much more! #TTRPGs #RPGs #gaming

Promotional flyer for an event. The text from the top to the bottom reads: Jason Morningstar is a game designer who lives and works in Durham, NC. He creates tabletop and live action role-playing games for his label "Bully Pulpit Games" and for clients like Google and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Jason and his games have been featured at Indiecade, in the Gen Con 50th anniversary museum, and at a variety of events, Including Ropecon, Gen Con, PLAY Bologna, Pyrkon, Lucca Comics and Games, and Dragon Con. DESIGNING GAMES FOR EMPATHY AND RESISTANCE. Jason will discuss the practice of analog game design, focusing on techniques for crafting games that offer distinct player perspectives and affordances. Drawing on examples from Augusto Boal to J. Tuomas Harviainen, he will examine the history of play as a form of resistance, as well as the ways games fall short in that role. He will share his frameworks, tools, and techniques for building passionate, political, and emotionally charged games, and invite you to do the same. In conversation with Lizzie Stark, participation designer and author of Egg and Leaving Mundania. Wesleyan University Sponsored by the College of Education Studies, the College of Design and Engineering Studies, and the Theater Department. Beneath their two inset photographs, the text reads Wed, September 23 at 12:00 pm RLL Common Room 300 High Street Lunch included. There are also an assortment of published games from Bully Pulpit Games: Fiasco, Zhenya's Wonder Tales, Grey Ranks, Winterhorn, Carolina Death Crawl, and Night Witches.
