Wild West, desert sands, new and old paths: LARPZeit #83

Movie set in Spain, desert sand in Tunisia: If you want to play in an extraordinary setting, there are plenty of opportunities these days.
Some larpers like to take long journeys to experience a special feeling of the world. Corinne Senn tells you about her extraordinary experience in the Tunisian desert, and in this issue we introduce you to a Wild West movie set in Spain. These organizers are leading the way: The world of LARP is becoming increasingly diverse.
Keno and Esther Dirks are also thinking about this, because sometimes it's not so easy to find the con that suits us.
What could the categorization of larps look like in the future so that we can quickly find a suitable event?
In this issue you will also find DIY instructions for a cute mandrake as a loyal companion, the presentation of a medieval larp village and thoughts on the question: Why do we actually larp?
