My RPG statistics for 2020 and 2021
This is how my RPG and LAOG / larp life looked like in the last years - in numbers. Follow me on a statistical ride, based on the form I'm using to track information about the sessions I played. Since I missed posting about the stats for 2020, this is looking back at two years. More so, since I'm now doing stats since 2015, I have now 7 years I can compare with each other. Sounds like a decent time series, doesn't it?
Surprise, surprise, my gaming moved online over the pandemic. Also, I played a lot less. From the all-time-high in 2017 with 370 hours of gaming, I'm down to 130 hours in 2021. That still sounds like enough to me. The stats nicely show that pandemic times weren't a drastic shift in gaming. Quite the opposite, my gaming has been mainly online since 2017 - when we had moved to Guatemala. I'm a fan of playing online: the variety of people I can play with, the setup, the commitment to logistics.All the following figures are percentages in gaming hours - not counted in sessions. Which means that longer sessions have a higher weight. That seems to me to be the more useful stat as more time usually also means higher importance and hopefully more joy.

Tuk Fast Tuk Furious - Gedanken zu einem schnellen Wettrennen-RPG
Tuk Fast Tuk Furious ist ein kurzes Erzählspiel, das in dreißig bis fünfzig Minuten gespielt werden kann. Es geht um ein aufregendes Rennen von sogenannten Tuktukeros, den Fahrerinnen und Fahrern der dreirädrigen Vehikel, die in verschiedenen Ländern der Welt meist als Taxis fungieren.
In diesem Artikel (zuerst veröffentlicht auf Erzählspiel-Zine, hier noch aktualisiert und ergänzt), beschreibe ich den Entwicklungsprozess des Spiels und teile meine Design-Gedanken.

Three Forms of LAOGs
In this article, I present a categorisation of LAOGs - depending on how they make use of the communication channels in place. I identify three different forms: The Diegetic Call, The Invisible Call and The Metaphorical Call. Let me take you on this journey of design exploration. Then make up your own mind how your experience fits or does not fit into this picture.

An Overview of existing LAOGs - Live Action Online Games
Live action is for everybody. Larping online makes larping accesible to a completely new audience, makes it much easier for people with kids, financial, mental or physical constraints and allows for a truly global audience at a minimum of environmental costs.
It's time to list all the existing games (of my knowledge) and where to find them. [EDIT: So many larps have been transitioned to be played online due to the Corono-crisis, I can't list them all but will focus on those with interesting design choices specifically for online play.]
