Modesty and costuming at LARPs
Here is an interesting article on how to dress modestly while we play. While the Omnibus does not cover the topic of modesty in costuming (other than the topic of real world laws being applicable) this is a good article if you are worried about such things. The link to the article can be found here.
This is an intersting topic and one I do not has ever been touches on before within our community. What are your thoughts on costume modesty? Are we in a good place so far with modesty? Do you think we could get away with a bit more? Do you think there are some costumes at recent events that push the boundaries of what you are comfortable with?
Geeks wanted for Fantasy Transformation TV Show
Apparently the cable channel Animal Planet is putting together a TV show wherein a person puts together a fantasy based costume and then the costume will get tricked out by professional costume designers, prop masters and special effects. They are actively looking for people to send in video tapes of their costumes and ideas. The link to the article can be found here and it includes an address of where to send your video.
This looks like something made for us.
The Infection is Spreading
Some students at Michigan Tech University are participating in a Humans vs Zombies LARP. In this article here, it outlines some of the basic rules (thrown socks are used to spread the disease) wherein the goal is to survive as a human. However, as some of the uninfected become infected and thus turned into zombies, the number of attacking zombies spreads. This looks a lot like the old Assassin games but with Zombies.
