James Bloodworth (b. 1972) has been larping since 1990 and writing/running his own games since 1996. His larps are primarily Sci-Fi in nature taking inspiration from multiple sources and genres. He also builds larp props as he believes technology can enhance the larp experience (but not at the cost of the story). He is very interested in the design of both rules and practical mechanics that can both shape and enhance the LARP experience. He wrote a column for LARP magazine in the 90s and has also done presentations on various larp related topics. He has only recently started to experience what Nordic larp can offer but is interested in learning more. By day he works with two other people and a dog creating IT solutions.
