Anyone got any idea of how to contact the now split Knightshade? I’m not a facebooker so I can’t talk to them myself via that page.
Of course having permission to use some of their songs for my larp could be cool… should i ever put some footage online…
I wouldn’t bother. A larp and a band are two very different things, it’s not like people would get you confused. And it’s a fairly obvious name (there are lots of things called Knightshade).
It’s not like you’re calling it “Harry Potter”.
…I actually have an idea for a Harry Potter larp. Hire out St-Mathews-in-the-City (a neo-gothic church in Auckland that hires out on evenings) and run it as a “Hogwarts Family Christmas” for kids playing themselves as Hogwarts students & their families playing their visiting families, with larpers playing the teachers, staff, monsters, etc. Run it as a feast set in the Great Hall, with puzzles to solve, an indoor inter-house game (something like wizard-chess but all the players get to choose their actions, and magic is involved), and some sort of overriding mystery or threats to solve.
The only thing stopping me doing this is that I’ve got ten other ideas I’d rather do first, and little enough time for those.
I reckon Steve Shipway could make an excellent Snape! Meaning that in the nicest possible way, of course.
Man, that idea has serious potential.
Harry Potter LRPs have proved very popular overseas.
I don’t think they’ll be too miffed. I just couldn’t help putting in the link, being a 'Tron band and all.
