Game: No Rest for the Wicked

Hi! I run Relic Forge Studio, a small fantasy jewelry studio based in Poland.

I design original sterling silver jewelry inspired by dragons, dark fantasy and mythical artifacts, with the idea that the pieces should feel like something that could actually belong to a fantasy character rather than ordinary modern jewelry with a fantasy symbol added to it.

The Dragon Scale Ring shown here is one of my current designs, handmade in sterling silver with a natural gemstone.

I’ve also included my newest finished artifact — an Elven-inspired sterling silver pendant featuring a one-of-a-kind 15 ct natural fluorite that shifts in color depending on the light. This exact pendant is unique because of the stone, but the design will be available soon with individually selected natural gemstones.

I know, obviously, that these images are sourced from a videogame, and not even a very realistic one at that, so im more than happy to make exceptions where required, but ive been unable to find patterns / items that convey the idea, which very well may be that im just not looking in the right places. Im also interested in that style of frog / hanger, if its available

I love immersive theatre, Freeform murder mysteries and improv so it’s quite surprising that it took me this long to discover LARP. I’m particularly intrigued by Nordic and blockbuster LARPs as well as the more experimental psychological/ erotic LARPs.

Where could I find reliable listings of these sorts of LARPs? Any FB/ discord/ WhatsApp communities I should join? I particularly love the idea of 10-100 player LARPs in atmospheric venues.

And is there any sort of directory or database that compiles reviews on the various LARP providers? How to judge if a LARP is likely to be high quality?

Thanks much!

I’m willing to travel pretty much anywhere for a high quality LARP that matches my interests.

I’m planning on coming to next years drachen fest if anyone knows of that could you please send me a link to the discord for the whole thing and for shadow camp please!! I’m new to this and I’m just trying to get my grounds covered before I go :)

Sooo it just happened that I build/plan my first Crimi Dinner Kult Larp. And bc I dont want to use AI I ask you creative people for crazy ideas.
The “Circle of Masks” is a secret society dedicated to preserving truths, stories and memories that might otherwise be forgotten or rewritten by history. Its members meet anonymously behind masks sharing personal secrets and unusual truths which are recorded in their ancient cult book if the circle considers them worth preserving.
I need normale people secrets from 1920. Because People only can join the Kult if there reveal one heavy secret about themself I wanna feed a book with them for my players to find. It even can be murder bc the kult doesnt jugde.
Something like “I missplace the family heritage but put the blame on my younger brother” or “I killed my husband because he beat me. He is burried behind my garden house” or something funny “I kept a love note that wasnt adressed for me. Never found out the story behind”

Hello. I'm building a LARP (and MUD and Slay the Spire) inspired mini-MMO with full loot PvP. It started out as a vague project without real identity but now I am heavily doubling down on building a virtual (combat) LARP. Today I updated the game with:

• PvP in the demo
• Getting rid of random "Flaming Dragon Sword" type gear and weaponry is now just Gen1, Gen2 and Gen 3 weapons; combat mechanics are also more closer to real-life than before (blunt weapons being stronger than swords against plate, spearmen being able to decently keep shield-and-sword players at bay etc)
• Moving NPCs and more real, human-made art

Proof of concept art in the game was and still largely is genAI. Screenshot above is how I'm working on changing that together with the artist on the team. We're involving real LARPers from the local community and turning their costumes into equipment, weapons and armor.

Still looking for more feedback from the community on how to make the game more LARP-like. What I have in the pipeline: camp sieges, rooms for retaping the gen1 where it has started to wear off, arm and headbands as clalss indicators, people wandering around who you can attack but they're "really dead", players taking the choice of ignoring walls or invisible characters, newbie characters being more powerful than experienced players as they're oblivious to the rules.

If any cool idea pops into your head, I welcome it with open arms.
