LARPZeit #78

Space horror, Ukrainian help and Cthulhu: LARPZeit #78

A great new location for science fiction LARP has recently opened in the middle of the Ruhr area. It is the setting for two (very different) LARP projects, which we present in this issue: We venture a look behind the scenes of the space horror larp Ins Dunkel from an organizer's perspective and introduce the Star Wars fan project Kwenn Space Station.
Unfortunately, the current war in Ukraine is not science fiction and has triggered an impulse in many people to want to help in some way. In the LARP scene, too, there have been and still are various approaches to help, one of which we would like to present in this issue: Tactical Krtek, a small organization founded by two larpers from Switzerland.
There are also practical tips on the textile design of garments, a report on the Cthulhu larp Fog over Innsmouth and building instructions for a LARP castle inspired by historical models.
You will also find further reports, concepts, crafting instructions, news from the LARP scene and much more in this issue.

LARPZeit - Das Live-Rollenspiel-Magazin (December 2022 to February 2023) is published as a print magazine in 210 x 297 mm format, is produced in full color in high-quality offset printing and has 80 inside pages.
