Sometimes my worlds collide.

Cosplay and LARPing are not my chosen expressive pathways, but I still recognise them under the same overall umbrella of pop culture that I subscribe to.

Being an old school table top and pen and paper role player, board and war gamer, I feel like a cultural grand father to these guys, who have taken the baton and run with it.

Searching for some stories on a quiet Saturday, one of our journalists found two related, but exclusive events, both within minutes of the other.

Taspop Cosplay get together at the Gorge Basin and Southern Isles LARP event at the Trevallyn Reserve.

A great and welcoming cadre of passionate people.
