<span style="color: #c27ba0;">Yesterday I've been playing with a piece of leather to see if I could make something for my Voodoo Album. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">It isn't finished but so far I seem to be heading towards something worth the effort. </span></div>

<span style="color: #c27ba0;">I didn't make as much progress on the album as I was hoping. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">In fact, it went so much slower than I wanted to that I decided to go for a different approach. Instead of making the album page by page, from the base up to the very last embellishment, I went a made all the base pages in one go. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">I prettty much spend my evening distressing 12x12 papers for the background without knowing what I'm going to put on there. I definitely hope this won't backfire on me later on during the project!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">It is a bit disappointing that it turned out to be 10 pages because I honestly thought I was going to end up with more. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure this is not going to be enough at all! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">But for now I'm just going to work with these and when I need more I'll have to go find another paper pad of he same colors used in this one to make another set of base pages. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">The next step will be sorting out the picture's, divide them on the pages, decide how to incorperate them, which big embellishments to place on which page, the voodoo tags for example, and go from there. </span></div>

Moon, it’s just another day at work. And some days, well, they’re a helluva lot
worse than others. As a member of the elite Black Blade Guard, Fiona is tasked
with hunting down the most-dangerous Paranorm criminals. To find out who is
kidnapping mages and sucking the life energy from their bodies, she has to work
with the one man that embodies everything she despises.</span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">A little
over two hundred years ago in the year of technology called 2012, the North and
South Poles started shifting. It was gradual at first and lasted a couple of
decades. When it was over, the shift wasn't exactly ninety degrees, but it was
close enough that east became north, north became west, and so on. The shift
caused a climatic Cataclysm that pounded the world with storms, earthquakes,
and other natural disasters for more than forty years. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">Damn Mayans.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">Whole cities
were destroyed, and governments crumbled. Famine ran rampant. Widespread panic
caused wars, which killed even more than the natural disasters and starvation.
When the smoke and weather finally cleared, the world had changed drastically.
What had once been the Eastern United States was now a peninsula called
Appalachia made up of a range of mountains in the west and bordered by the
Atlantic Ocean inn the north and east, as well as the newly formed Mississippi
Sea in the south. Only two major cities, what had once been Nashville and
Atlanta, remained partially standing. From those ruins rose the autonomous
city-states of Nash and Atlanta. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">For more than fifty years after the start of
the Cataclysm, every city, town and community was at war with each other and
internally. Finally, the Paranorm Council of Elders stepped in to bring peace
and unity. While the two city-states were completely autonomous in rule, they
were allied under the Council of Elders along with three other city-states -
Okie City and Sanlou to the south, and New Winnipeg in the west. Many
areas in the south and west had resisted the Council. Some set up legitimate
governments of their own, but many other were ruled by warlords and
tyrants. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">The
city-state of Nash claimed jurisdiction over several small fishing, farming and
industrial villages throughout southern Appalachia, but the main part of it was
built around the heart of the original city and separated into two main parts -
Nash City and New Nashville. </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">The walls of
Nash City rose up out of the ground like a lumpy, gray fortress. Sentries
marched along the top. The path and most of the materials for the walls of Nash
City had once been a vast highway that looped around downtown Nashville. But
when the Cataclysm began, mages and other paranorms used it as the building
blocks of a wall to protect the people who huddled within.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #c27ba0;">*****</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">I absolutely love the setting. What I wrote above is really just a part from the book where the current situation is explained. But during the story you come to realize that the writer did a great job in figuring out all the details and consequences of the Cataclysm. And yes, I'm a sucker for details. The main character is Fiona Moon, one of the three Moon sisters, and she is a kick-ass Black Blade Guard. The story of the Moon sisters is just as well thought off as the setting is. Most of the characters I came across are in fact quite interesting. Even though it is a Romantic 18+ paranorm novel it does have a great background story. At the moment I've only read the first part, Voodoo Moon, but I will be reading the second part soon enough. </span></div>

<span style="color: #76a5af;">I have finally finished the front cover of my Voodoo People Album. As I mentioned earlier on it will hold picture's of our L.A.R.P. group the Voodoo People while we were playing at Ravenskeep Adventure's. </span></div>

<span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af;">One of the things I really wanted to add was a Raven Skull and through our network of larpers I found someone who made a 3D print of one for my project. Combined with some lovely paintwork of my husband I had found the perfect center piece for this project. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

Espiritus redeem us from our solemn hour<br />
Sanctus Espiritus insanity is all around us<br />
Sanctus Espiritus! Sanctus Espiritus! Sanctus Espiritus!<br />
<br />
In my darkest hours I could not foresee<br />
That the tide could turn so fast to this degree<br />
Can't believe my eyes<br />
How can you be so blind?<br />
Is the heart of stone, no empathy inside?<br />
Time keeps on slipping away and we haven't learned<br />
So in the end now what have we gained?<br />
<br />
Sanctus Espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour<br />
Sanctus Espiritus, insanity is all around us<br />
Sanctus Espiritus, is this what we deserve,<br />
can we break free from chains of never-ending agony?<br />
<br />
Are they themselves to blame, the misery, the pain?<br />
Didn't we let go, allowed it, let it grow?<br />
If we can't restrain the beast which dwells inside<br />
it will find it's way somehow, somewhere in time<br />
Will we remember all of the suffering<br />

<span style="color: #76a5af;">I started on figuring out some layouts for the album. I'm still waiting for some supplies to arrive, one of which will be a die-set of frames for the picture's and offcours there is the skull for the front. I feel like I'm getting to the point where all the pieces all falling in place and ones they do I can assemble most of the album in one go. Here are some sneak peaks of the first page : </span></div>

<span style="color: #c27ba0;">In my previous post I mentioned a Monster of a project I started working on. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">When I started on it I had a vaque idea what I wanted to do with it but yesterday I suddenly had an epiphany. I now have a clear plan on what I want it to look like when it's done. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">For now, I'm just going to show you a little sneak peak of what it is I'm working on. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">A while ago, 'bout 2 years or something, I bought a bunch of supplies on Ebay UK, getting a lot of stuff for a really cheap price. One of the items was a 12x12 scrapbookalbum, I believe it was a making memories album. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">When I recieved it it was heavily damaged, the window was loose, adhesive residiue everywhere but the binding and base were in good condition. I figured it was fine, it was cheap and I could always alter it and make it a multi media project. But I didn't know what I wanted to do with it so it ended up in a dusty corner in my crafts closet. Untill now. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">I decided on a album for the picture's of our Ravenskeep LARP Adventure's as the Voodoo People in a matching style. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">Here are a few picture's of my progress on the front cover : </span></div>

<span style="color: #76a5af;">The damage isn't all that clear on the picture's but you get the idea.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Each month mister Tim Holtz makes a tag and you can enter the give-away challenge by making your own tag inspired by his example. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">At first I didn't know where to start because I didn't have any of the items he used on his. Neither did I have anything that could resemble them. Which, by the way, makes me wonder how on earth it is possible I don't even have a skull die or cut-out anywhere... *adding new halloween themed craft supplies to my wishlist*</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">This morning I went to work and while I was working on the background of the tag inspiration struck, or at least a big "duh" moment came along. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Earlier this week I started working on a monster-size project to make a 12x12 scrapalbum in which I'll be using the picture's taken by various photographers of our LARP group "The Voodoo People".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">The thing I thought of this morning was that I could make exhibit pieces on several tags and use them in the album. So, I went to work and made a series of 6 tags, each of them showing evidence of our adventure's in Ravenskeep, our LARP organisation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><br /></span></div>

She thinks there are only three suitable professions for a child of hers - doctor, Speaker of the House and president. So Talba doesn't have to use her computer skills to bring in money and prestige - Miz Clara's never going to be happy anyway. Instead, she searches for other people's answers - and her own as well, which, perhaps, is the point.</i></div>

<i style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: inherit;">I'm not sure where to start. It's a detective series which breaks my habit of reading tons and tons of fantasy series. Obviously it was, once again, the New Orleans theme that caught my interest. I read the first book and I was sold. An old yearning for mystery awoken and I couldn't get enough. In no time I've finished the entire four book series, which will hopefully be continued on. Talba, better known as the Baroness de Pontalba or "your grace", is this spirited character that seems to be this unstoppable force of nature and nothing can stop her from doing what she wants, or what she feels like she needs to do. The intricate cases she stumbles upon as a P.I. show what a criminal mastermind the authoress Julie Smith is. It doesn't surprise me at all that she is an award winning authoress. Anyone who is looking for an exciting, thrilling book series to read should give Talba a try. I'm sure you're going to love it!</i></div>

<span style="color: #76a5af;">Serving coffee is temporary, just like Casey's year off from school. She's going to come up with a plan to stay in New York City and go back to college, and that plan does not involve dating a paranormal creature, let alone two. </span></div>

<span style="color: #76a5af;">Never agree to a road trip to New Orleans with your roommate. At least not when your roommate is dragging you along while she reconnects with an ex-boyfriend. Possible consequences of failing to take my advice : </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">Obviously I was drawn to these series by the simple fact that the first series is about New Orleans, The Crescent City. As it turned out this fairly romantic, highly pornographic, supernatural/paranormal series actually has a pretty good storyline at it's base. I love the Pteron creature's and I've tried to find some lore about them but have failed to find anything so far. Admittedly I'm not yet impressed by the Allure Chronicles but we'll just have to see what's going to happen in the upcoming books. So far I'm a fan but I do have a fear of reaching the point where this series will be dragged on instead of finished off with a decent ending. </span></div>

<i><span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">College senior, Lottie Boys, expects to drink too much while on spring break in New Orleans. What she doesn't expect is to be haunted. Of fall in love. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">It starts with strange, vivid dreams about a 19th century widow so desperate to save her sick little girl she's willing to do anything, even if it involves the black magic of voodoo. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">It doens't end there. Voices, ghost sightings, familiarity with things and places she couldn't possibly know.. All leading her to the Villere House of Voodoo and the young Creole owner, Xavier Villere. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">Xavier is compelled to help and is drawn to Lottie in a way he's never known, but skepticism of his family's century-old link to Voodoo and the occult keep her at arms length. If he can only come to terms with his heritage, he might be able to solve the mystery of the widow haunting Lottie's dreams. And maybe find love in the process. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">*****</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">I am drawn to anything with the theme of New Orleans, Voodoo and Magic. So when I came across these two books I knew I needed to read them. I didn't really consider them to be romantic even if it is a huge part of the plot. The first book includes dreams about the 19th century, letting you read the history of the family and I personally love stories that allow you to live through the past instead of just mentioning what happend. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen in the second book and although you do get to figure out what happend I found it a tad bit disappointing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">I don't know what the future holds for this series, it seems a completed storyline with a satisfying ending. </span><span style="color: #c27ba0;">I would definitely recommend these books to anyone who would like to read more about this theme/setting.</span></div>

Although the description hardly touches the main storyline it gives you that immediate feeling of "this is going to be fun!". The hidden world of monsters is in trouble and they need help. This light hearted book series, which is a complete and finished series, has a way of getting to you. The monsters become humane and at some point tears are involved. Anyone with a weakness for the underdogs should read this. </span></div>

I don’t want to rest in peace<br />
I want to dance in joy<br />
I want to dance in the graveyards, the graveyards<br />

I don’t want to be alone<br />
Mourning the ones who came before<br />
I want to dance with them some more<br />
Let’s dance in the graveyards<br />
<br />
Gloria, like some other name we kept on calling ya and waiting for change<br />
But I belong to all of your mysteries<br />
<br />
And all of us, we’re meant for the fire, but we keep rising up and walking the
wires<br />
So when we go below don’t lose us in mourning<br />
<br />
’Cause when I die<br />
I don’t want to rest in peace<br />
I want to dance in joy<br />
I want to dance in the graveyards, the graveyards<br />

I don’t want to be alone<br />
Mourning the ones who came before<br />
I want to dance with them some more<br />
Let’s dance in the graveyards<br />
<br />
Oh my love, don’t cry when I’m gone<br />
I will lift you up, the air in your lungs<br />
And when you reach for me, we’ll dance in the darkness<br />
<br />
And we will walk beyond<br />
Our daughters and sons, they will carry on<br />
Like when we were young, and we will stand beside and breathe in their new life<br />
<br />
’Cause when I die<br />
I don’t want to rest in peace<br />
I want to dance in joy<br />
I want to dance in the graveyards, the graveyards<br />
And while I’m alive<br />

And he was killed by something that Kallie would never dream of touching - the darkest of dark juju, soul-eating juju - a black dust hex that may have been meant to kill her. </i></span></div>

<span style="color: #76a5af;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><i>Now Kallie has use every bit of hoodoo knowledge and bayou-bred mojo she possesses to clear her own name and find the killer - even as that dark sorcerer hunts Kallie and her friends. But Kallie's search for the truth soon leads her in a direction she never anticipated - back home to Bayou Cyprés Noir, and to Gabrielle LaRue, Kallie's aunt, protector, and hoodoo mentor... who is looking more and more like she just might be the one who wants Kallie dead.</i></span></div>

It started out as research for a LARP project but it turned into a genuine subject of interest. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">A little while into the historical research I started wondering why I had never come across a fantasy series with this type of magic. It seemed like a world of inspiration and possibility was left untouched. So, I went online and started searching.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">Adrian Phoenix is the first writer I found with such a series and I immediately bought the two books available. At that time I didn't have an ereader so the short story Caught Forever Between had to wait 'till later on. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">I can truly say that I've devoured these books again and again and I can't wait for more!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">One of the things I like about these books is that it brings the world of voodoo alive in a way one can only imagine. As it turned out, this isn't the only urban fantasy series that does just that but for me it was the first and therefore it will always be one of my favourites!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">I would recommend this book for anyone who is interested in the world of voodoo and the culture of New Orleans and Louisiana. </span></div>

<i style="text-align: justify;"><i><i><span style="color: #76a5af;">The whole of Victorian London knows there is something not quite right about Lady Verity Hart. She may be the daughter of an MP and the sister of famed inventor Lord David Hart, but she is a spinster whose own father threatens to send her to the madhouse every fortnight. Because Society is correct, Verity Hart is no Lady. If they suspected how quick with a quip she is, let alone the majority of her brother's ingenious machines were her design, the sale of fainting couches would double. </span></i></i></i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">This was the first time I've read a fantasy series in Victorian London with a steampunk theme and although the story holds very little surprise; I fell in love with the setting, marvelous gadgets and humane characters. The story starts of in London, traveling through Wales and ending in Ireland.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">And even though the Society is anything but romantic with it's ridiculous rules and untamed gossip, the story itself is with an obvious true love against all odds plot.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">Admittedly, there is also plenty of action to keep it from getting corny. </span></div>

play. Dungeons and Dragons is probably the most well known tabletop role play
game in the world. And there are off course the online role play games, they
can be written or played as videogames. And there are probably many more
options that I can’t think of right now.</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

L.A.R.P. is that you become the character, enter the world the story is written
in and act like your character is suppose to act in your opinion. A good
description would be “improvised acting”.</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

guideline for the organization, also known as the game masters, to give the
players something to respond to. Other than that it’s pretty much up to the
players. For example, there is no way to predict how a character is going to
respond, or even ignore, the problem presented to him/her. There have
been tons of situation where the game masters thought they presented a pretty
clear situation and instead of solving the problem the players actions made it
ten times worse. And that’s alright. You are allowed to mess things up, you are
allowed to do your own thing even if it goes against what they expected you to
do. A good game master will just adapt to the new situation and continue the story.</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

are necessary.</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

you’ll have to build your character sheet. These are not unlike many videogames
where you have to place points in stats and abilities. Based on this sheet you
have certain skills you can use, magic is just one of the many options.</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

most follow. The weapons may not be real but when you use them wrong you can do
harm. Which obviously isn’t the goal in any of these events. Different
countries have different rules but within the Netherlands all the organizations
seem to be on the same page.</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

rule. Because there are some pretty darn good actors out there it is sometimes
hard to tell when someone is playing hurt or has some real life injury as a
result of an accident. “Man Down” means that everything within the game stops
immediately after the call has been made and the medical team on sight gets all
the time and space to examine the injured person and take appropriate measures.
Most “Man Down” situations are light injuries but unfortunately there are the
worst case scenarios. Someone we know went into cardiac arrest during one of
the bigger events in the Netherlands. Because of the medical teams direct
actions he has survived and lives to tell the tale. </span></span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

in 2005. We’ve met on one of the events when he and a friend joined our player

husband and I went to a larp event while Grannie was babysitting our little
voodoodoll. We were 10 minutes from home and we left instructions to call us
for anything, anything at all. Unfortunately my mother got a light cerebral
infarction that weekend. Everything turned out fine, she recovered fully
and there was no harm done to the baby. She understood something was wrong when
it happened and called in help.</span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

scared shitless and had nightmares of all the possible things that could have
gone wrong. At first we both quit larp, later he went to two events a year
while I stayed home with our daughter. Time flew by and 5 years later I still
hadn’t been to any event myself.</span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

where my husband would train other larpers, or those who are completely new to
the hobby, to fight with the different type of weapons within the guidelines of

doing research on the voodoo and hoodoo culture in order to write characters
and backgrounds. During that research I may have fallen in love with the
culture and at least one visit to New Orleans has been added to my bucket-list.</span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

people made their entrance on Ravenskeep, a highly leading and popular event.
The voodoo people, as we wrote them, are very different from your average larp
character and we had no idea whether people would be able to appreciate our
group or if it would be a complete and utter disappointment. You never know
what may or may not happen with your character but in this case the stakes were
higher than ever. With all the years of research, all the years of not being a
part of the hobby, the anticipation was killing me.</span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

had so much fun playing my character, Maman Brigitte, and it was so different
from anything I played before that for once I hope we’ll all survive until the
end of times. Usually one can only hope for an epic ending but in this case I
don’t want it to end it at all. As a group we’ve shaken the city, made tons of
friends, made people question us, made people want to be with us. It was
awesome.</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

group, with one additional member, Ghede Nibo. He was played by one of the
younger people who used to come to our training sessions. He started training
when he was almost 12 years old and by now he has done plenty of events on his
own and with friends. Now that he’s almost 18 he was able to join us at
Ravenskeep as my protégé. Ravenskeep is a 18+ event and because of that minors
are only allowed as someones protégé. He did amazing! And ones again I had an
great weekend with wonderfull friends and we are already making new plans for
May 2016!</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
