This is a Podcast for all people who love LARP. Whether you are a new LARPer, experienced LARPer, LARP designer, LARP NPC, or any combination of the above, this Podcast is for you.
Episodes will air every odd Month, and will be approximately an hour in length.
Every Episode is for everyone, but some will focus more on issues which will resonate more with one group or another.
As such, we will have a scale which will tell you the focus of the topics, and possibly the depths of some of the various bogs and dungeons we will be wading into.

This Episode will look at Player Agency in LARP. Player Agency is how much control a player has over what their character does, or doesn’t do in a LARP. Some LARP give you near total agency over your character, while others are more linear and restrict what a player can do in the opposite direction.

S4E2 - Historical LARP
This Episode will look at Historical LARP. These are LARP which either have a historical theme or look to recreate a historical event, such as The Field of the Cloth of Gold. For those unfamiliar, the Field of the Cloth of Gold was a meeting between Henry VIII of England and Francis I of France in 1520. It was a meeting where each King tried to show who was the bigger man and the oneupmanship was a constant through the event.This was recreated in a LARP called The Meeting of the Monarchs and we are fortunate to have one of the developers with us on this show

S3E6 - The Otherworld Theater Company
This Episode will look at the Otherworld Theater Company and we will talk to their Artistic Director, Tiffany Keane Schaefer. Specifically, we will explore the Otherworld Theater Company’s relation to LARP. The Otherworld Theater Company is a LARP Company based out of Chicago, Illinois which is composed of both the Otherworld Theater Company and Moonrise LARP. This group runs Blockbuster style, high immersion, high roleplay, and light combat LARP with Chronicles of the Realm being their flagship LARP. Additionally, they run the Albion School of Sorcery LARP. They began, originally, through the Otherworld Theater Company, running an immersive show called Gondark, and from what they learned through that they then began with Chronicles of the Realm as their first LARP. As this grew, they merged the Otherworld Theater Company and Moonrise LARP into one company, and that brings us to today when we will learn more about this group from their Artistic Director, Tiffany Keane Schaefer.
