Live Action Role Play
Intimacy Coordination for LARP is The future of Accessible, Exciting Gameplay.
In a historically male-dominated, combat-focused hobby, the journey to inclusive, sex-positive narratives has not been easily tread. However, the page is turning on this story, and more and more game runners are seeking expertise beyond a traditional “Safety Lead” and shifting to working with professionals who have extensively trained in this field.
My work with Archetype LARPS and Fat Baby LARPS involves redesigning mechanics, building workshops, leading workshops both virtually and in-person, and helping to establish cultures of consent that reflect the ambitions of the work. The scope of my work isn’t as simple as running a boring workshop and leaving: I am committed to uplifting your game from conception to completion, bringing energy, best practices, and ever-evolving mechanics to your players.

Workshop Participant Reviews
“One of the biggest constraints in LARP is how to live out dramatic, conflict-filled plots while avoiding emotions bleeding from character grudges to player grudges. Pippa's workshops provide a framework for understanding we are all playing the same game together, drawing a strong line between characters and players, and enjoying more intense storytelling that still leaves us feeling good after the game.”
“These workshops go much deeper than just "consent is important." They encouraged us to examine the ways we unconsciously coerce consent, push us to be more mindful about our own boundaries, and empower us with not only how to say "No" but also how to say "YES!"“
“Your experience as an intimacy coordinator, and the workshop you ran put me at ease. I haven’t done roleplay exactly like this before, and I was honestly nervous about it all. But the techniques you showed us not only made me feel comfortable, but also empowered to try new things.”
