Earlier this year, I interviewed Laura Kröger about Odysseus, one of the most ambitious and technically advanced larps ever made.

Odysseus only ran three times in 2024 because it was entirely volunteer-powered. Afterwards, they debated turning it into a permanent space with paid roles.

And now...
The Collective Ambition Behind Odysseus, a Game-changing Sci-fi Larp
A conversation with lead producer Laura Kröger on the making of Odysseus and what it would take to become a permanent institution.

I think this is the first time 13th Floor Entertainment has partnered with WMH on a Halloween event. Sadly, 13FE don’t have a good reputation with haunt enthusiasts, many of who believe attractions in LA like Haunted Hayride or Dark Harbor went downhill after they started working with the company.

I really hope that Erika Ishii gets their flowers for their performance as Atsu this year - it’s one of the very rare protagonists I keep playing the game just to see more of how they inhabit the world and unfold their story.

Damn fine work.

Looking for an SF Bay person available for a short-term job cataloguing a large collection of immersive/ARG materials for donation to a museum. You’d be paid as a contractor, expected to take a couple weeks. You’d be working out of my home, so not being allergic to cats would be ideal.
