The Shattersong LARP Diaries

E4 2022 (Friday) with the Shattersong Striding

We're done with Empire for 2022 but that doesn't mean we're done with episodes!

With a super-intense event behind us, join Lindir, Larkin and Farren for a breakdown of the event and all the nefarious schemes we've been up to...

So long and thanks for all the fish...

E4 is upon us Citizens! Prepare yourselves carefully and steel yourself against the hammering rain of... of... well, rain.

It's going to be a wet one.

E3 Hots&Nots with Lindir Thornheart

Hello Citizens! Ban's been dead for a while... so who on earth have I been playing as? Allow me to introduce Lindir Thornheart, the "naive and not so mean semi-decent fighting machine" from Miaren. 

This was my first full event with Lindir and I had a fantastic time with him. To get the full blow by blow, listen in!

Walk the Longest Path (Part 2)

Finally, at long last, we get round to covering the 2nd half of our Shattersong player event!

Join the OG Shattersong crew as we descend into the depths of the woodlands around Upwold and Miaren...

Wardens, Wards and Monsters (Interview with Sam)

Ever wanted to kill monsters? Protect your family? Help your nation with spooky ghosts? Sign up to be a Warden today!

Interview episode with the brave and courageous Du (played by Sam Wainright) to find out more about Wardens, Varushka, and their experience of Anvil.

"If you want it hard enough, you'll fight for it" ~ Du, YE384

A Weekend of Confidence; Scoring E3 with Larkin Shattersong

Hey folks, ever wondered what happens when two Shatter-siblings sit down and debrief from an Anvil event?

Wonder no more as we take you through our patented post-larp method!

Welcome to Anvil; Supporting your mates

Bringing your mates to Empire is fantastic and worthy of the Exemplars themselves, but what's a good way to do it?

Fear not Citizen, for I have distilled my knowledge and top tips for both new players and veteran players alike!

(OC Episode on bringing new people to Anvil, what they need, and what you can do as a Veteran to help them integrate with the game)

Make a Deal (Winds of Fortune, Summer 384)

Hey folks, this episode is a different take on the usual WoF readings. This time I'm speaking from an OC point of view and littering my personal opinion all over the place as I go through the opportunities, trying to give as much context as possible to why something is "good" or "bad".

 

Of course, this is only my opinion... if you don't agree that Therunin is a worthless mud swamp, take it with a pinch of salt ;) 

Unseen Saviour (Interview w/ Matteo Edgestalker)

"Never make an enemy by mistake" ~ Matteo Edgestalker, Spring 384YE

Evening citizens, we're back again with another interview episode!

This time we've dragged in the hero of E2 to discuss his backstory, heroic tales of danger behind enemy lines and (most importantly) the many delightful drinks that will be appearing in a bar near you...

 

Monsters of the Empire

Do you know your Drakes from your Dragons? Your Mora from your Manticores? Or, be you truly unlucky... your Marshwalkers from your Unicorns?

Find out about the creatures, fantastical and otherwise, that live alongside us in this vast Empire.

Plaguewulf

Monsters within the Empire are fascinating. Graceful, lethal and mysterious in equal measure. However, a Plaguewulf is no such ordinary monster. They'll take your home, your friends and your family in the blink of an eye... then they'll come for you.

Delirium (Winds of War, Summer 384)

Whilst my bandit brethren may have been given a good smack by Imperial heroes and their bands of warriors... something darker lurks within the town of Isember...

A fork in the road

The Labyrinth has many turns, twists and trials to impede a soul on its way to reincarnation. As Ban flounders his way through, only his conversations with the walls can keep him sane...

Two archers walk into a bar...

Hello one and all! We've got the might Dawnish hero Az with us today, played by the veritable Ty, returning for another episode!

Now with two events under his belt, we'll cover what it's like to move nations, bring friends along, and celebrate your birthday at Empire!

We also discuss sanding your arse and how a coke fairy will fix it. Intrigued? Listen in....

E2 Hots & Nots; Goodbye Ban

Dear Citizens, I'm afraid it's time to say goodbye to Ban. It's been a pleasure, and why not send him off with a (ridiculously long and detailed) Hots & Nots episode?

Want to get inside the brain of a criminal mastermind? Well, you won't find that here... his brains are splattered over the side of the Hub.
