New interview on LARP Out Loud

I got excited a few months back, when +Mark Knights interviewed me for his series on Australian game designers...

...well, it's time to get excited again. I've just been interviewed by +Tony Simpson who runs the website 'LARP Out Loud', which is unsurprisingly about spreading the love of LARP as far as possible.

For those who are interested, the interview can be found here.

I'm actually pretty excited about this project as a way of telling a different type of story in a LARP context. The only problem I'm seeing at this stage is the fact that I probably need a dozen players to make sure my plans work...and at this stage, there are six players who've said they're coming along.

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 7)

A working computer and scanner...that means it is time to get back to work on the geomorph sequence. A lot of the discussion in this set of tutorials has been focused around square geomorphs. They're the easiest for most people to wrap their heads around.  But my preferred form of geomorph is based around the hexagon, these tend to produce more organic and interesting shapes. This is true for natural environments, but it's no less true for urban environments. The example set of geomorphs above as a simple two-phase system. One edge type is plain, the other edge type has a road piercing the centre. There could be dozens of combinations and permutations for each of the two phases around the hexagonal edges, but a quick look at the variety of buildings and road shapes shows that there could literally be hundreds of possible options when drawing these map fragments. But you certainly don't need to create hundreds of designs for the system to be effective. Usin...

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 1)

After numerous requests to get back to map tutorials, it's time to start our new series. This time focusing on the concept of geomorphs, modular map fragments that can be mixed and matched. We'll start with a couple of theoretical tutorials before sinking into a few more practical posts. I'm predicting a dozen or so posts in this sequence, but let's see how long it lasts.
