Yah, Larpies bad.

But the Shadies were good. It would be nice if these new awards can turn out as well or better than the Shadies. The design is open to input from the community now, so if you're not adverse to the idea of an international award then speak up on the forum: http://www.mortalisrpg.com/Awardsforum/

If the Shadies was the one about three years ago that had some excellent photos.

It was 2004. Winning photos are here: http://www.larplist.com/Awards.php

The new award seems to be intent on carrying on the good work of the Shadies, not the god-awful Larpies disaster (which is what that video promo that everyone finds so appalling relates to).

There's nothing wrong with the idea of awards, it can be a fun way to highlight cool stuff that's out there. But the Larpies just managed to do it in the most stupid way imaginable, trying to tie it to Hollywood and one specific larp (the US larp NERO). Let's put that bullshit behind us and do a cool award.

That is quite possibly the worst thing I have ever seen. Can you imagine what kind of image of LARP that sends out?

Ias


Maelstrom: Then: Regimental Sergeant Major Mdjai, Havocstan Army
Now: "?"
DUTT: Then: Commander J.W. Cranstan, Durholme City Guard
Now: Justice
RL: Ias

I was going to run for parliament, because I want to make the world a better place, but I ran into some old friends and went out for a beer instead.
