So I Fail.
Two Events in September and a massive Real Life Workload makes The Crafty Creep a ghost town. Sorry about that, boils and ghouls. I'll be getting back on the ol' Creepy horse soon enough. I've got some fabulous ideas that I need to try out before setting it on you hapless, unsuspecting darlings.
Until then!

Pack it Right: How I Do Event Games?
If you're like me and you focus a lot on costuming and effects, but not a lot on practicality, you need this to help whittle it down as much as you can. It's a link-dump, so you've been warned.
These links repeat ideas and are not specifically "LARP CON", but the rules can and do apply pretty well.

Cheap Tricks: Duct Tape!
 |
| Silence is Golden, Duct tape is Silver |
 |
| THE COLORS, DUKE! THE COLORS!!!!!! |
Nowadays, though, duct tape has gone from being just silver and handy to being a fashionable cloth-alternative! Apparently I-- as a 14 year old making straight-legged pants into bell-bottoms to aggravate my mother beyond words, was years ahead of a hot fashion trend. There are literally hundreds of articles and photos of high schoolers making prom outfits entirely out of duct tape, and with all the colors and patterns of the magical material available, you have no excuses NOT to have something ducked (see what I did there? I'm a genius.). So get your asses to the hardware shop and get crafty!
I, for one, will be dressing my creep in NOTHING BUT DUCT TAPE FROM NOW ON!
Some things I've found with just a quick Google search:
- Ol' Faithful: Duck brand sells colored and patterned tape to make truly amazing shit!
- DIY like crazy: Here's one of about a million instruction sites that you can use to get started on formal court duct tape fabulousness.
- This site, ducttapefashion.com boasts another bunch of gloriously patterned and colorful rolls, including college brands for those of you who really feel the need to affiliate with universities.
- Need more inspiration? Duck's "Stuck at Prom" contest boasts a massive gallery of beautiful, bright designs.
PROTIP: When you finally decide to make yourself an article of the delicious wonder-material, take the time and get a friend to help you make a duct-tape dummy for custom-fit. It really is the cheapest alternative to splurging on a full-on dress-form.
PROTIP 2: Buy cheap fabric to cover the sticky side and treat the tape JUST LIKE REAL FABRIC. Just don't machine wash it, as sometimes washing can damage the adhesive.
A Case of the Mondays: Architect Abuse
You know what never gets mentioned when you hear someone complimenting the way a warren is run, designed, and maintained? The fucking Architect.
You Hivemasters think you could raise your precious gators, rats, and bats without the Architect building the pools for you? How about you Technophiles and Double-O's with your libraries and computer banks? Wouldn't those also kind of require the dry, safe spaces for all that information? That's where we, the Architects come in.
We turn tunnels into barracks. We secure your path. Our traps guard you while you sleep. We know the exits. We know the false exits. We MADE this empire of tunnels and traps to keep you, your information, your animals, your unlives safe. Do not FUCK with us.
