So I guess it’s about time I got around to introducing myself huh?

Well, as you may have gathered from last weeks guest post, I am LARPing and all things geeky enthusiast Jenna Leder, an American artist & game designer currently employed with a New Jersey-based developer.

We have made a short video to extend our thanks to all of our fans who came to visit us at the Medieval and Historical Passion Exhibition 2009 in Montréal. You may have noticed the new animated introduction which was was a lot of fun to make! (more…)
