Biography
From her bio on the Phenomenon 2022 website[1]:
- Penny has been writing and running larps and freeforms for over 10 years, including several at Phenomenon. She specialises in player-driven political and trading larps with simple mechanics. Her previous games include Vampire: The Art of Politics (with Jason Chappel), Changeling: Goblin Market, the Phenomenon Tryptich freeform Inner Space (with Jason Chappel), Farscape: The Nebari Who Sold the World and Threefold Blessings—A Changeling the Dreaming larp in the Nordic style (with Jason Chappel). She is one of the three founders of Immersio Larp Studio, an Australian larp company bringing immersive Nordic-Blockbuster-style larp to Australia.
Particularly through her game Threefold Blessings, her work with Immersio Larp Studio, and participation in other forums: she was known for encouraging Australian larpers to engage with Nordic styles and techniques, and to reflect deeply on how play cultures affected choices and outcomes in local games.
Penny passed away in 2023, shortly after running her last game Moonshine at Conquest 2023.
