Callout to all Australian and New Zealand LARPers

My name is Kyle Evans and I’m the co-creator of an Australian geek website called Canned Geek. At a convention I attended last weekend I had the pleasure of meeting a LARPer who was a very interesting dude to talk to. The most impressive thing was that he owned his own eight foot heigh stargate! He also told me about all the conventions and gatherings that go on around the country. I began to realise that the LARP community in Australia is far bigger than I had ever realised - and yet I was completely unaware of it all.

So I’m planning on writing an article for Canned Geek (kyle@cannedgeek.com)

Rest easy that I want to represent the LARPing community in a positive light and I don’t want to exploit people. I’m actually a furry, so I know that misrepresenting media is never fun. I just want to deliver a fun, informative article on a community that interests me, but I know very little about.

To see the website I’m writing for, visit www.cannedgeek.com
I hope there are LARPers out that willing to spend their time to share their knowledge.

Cheers,
Kyle

Send an email to the NZ LARP Society (NZLARPS) secretary, secretary@nzlarps.org, and he’ll probably be able to give you some info. You might be able to interview our current president, too, if she’s amenable to the suggestion.

I’ve already been in touch :wink:

Eeeeeeficiant!

FINALLY! Is published. Enjoy: cannedgeek.com/index.php?opt … 7&Itemid=1

Thanks heaps to Ivan, Dylan, Anna - and thanks also to those people in the photos for granting permission.
