Larp article in the Sunday Star-Times

There’s an article about “bizarre hobbies” in the Sunday magazine inside today’s Sunday Star-Times that features larping.

It’s a pretty fair cop, quite funny really. I felt a bit sorry for the tropical fish collector with the shiny head. :wink:

It links to both www.nzlarps.org which is nice.

Yeah it’s a cool article with some nice cynicism. Not too serious, it captures the essense and fun of it and even throws in some in-jokes for us. I get a dizzy, delightful little section that ends with the third mention of the “horse suit”.

Importantly, there’s a huge glossy picture of Mad-Max-2 Alex, adventurer-photographer me, 1930’s sepia Anna and Andrew in dark robes holding a sword ready to mess you up.

What page and where abouts?

It’s listed on the contents page in the feature articles. It comes just after the article about Mussolini.

I forgot to buy a copy, any chance someone could scan it in or something?

I’ve just done it.

Hey,
was wanting to show some people this article but the link doesn’t seem to be working anymore. Has the file moved or something?

The file’s there but it seems to have gotten corrupted.
