Ich glaube mir folgen nicht viele LARPer, aber: die Fantasy/Abenteurer Con Nachtfuchstiefen, 29.-31.05.2026 in Grünberg Rabenau sucht wegen kurzfrister Ausfälle noch NSCs. Ohne Beitrag, inklusive Verpflegung & Tavernenkarte. Bei Interessse leite ich euch weiter. #germanlarp #germanlarp

shuffling my entire music library is a scary affair

first half of one side done. i have a system now. (and the math finally checks out).

going to need something new to watch while sewing soon... still a lot of hours of work to go.

four days off work means back to the sewing mines

what if i learned to make shoes, what if

was test driving the parts of the costume what are in a wearable state at a medieval market on the weekend. #larp #crafts

it was going suspiciously well for too long. #crafts

i know i'm overthinking this character entry. i get stuck on questions like "how would he actually respond to this religious order/potential cult based on experiences with religions in his home world". i have not yet constructed them. and i'm trying to finish this before the end of the month.

not the very obviously AI generated tapestries at medieval markets

discord died just as i was going to send an image of me, for the first time, wearing the larp outfit we've been working (still unfinished but it's mostly wearable now) to my friends. now i just have to sit on it.

behold my extremely professional set up. #crafts #larp

all of our LARP characters clearly hang around cats, based on the sheer amount of cat hair that gets sewn into them.

man i need a new job.

the latest work insanity is that support is expected to start fixing bugs in production code with AI. many don't have any engineering experience. even leaving aside the issues with AI for a moment, how many more roles are we going to stack in one (salary increases anyone?)? we're al[...]

hi, i'm rotkap. i'm trying to find more people on the fediverse with similar interests. i make #art sometimes, latest focus is on #larp, crafting things for my characters and learning about medieval history. i work in tech. the current state of the industry has sucked a lot of the j[...]

A plan is forming. No, I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm figuring it out. Second picture is the pattern I'm working off.

predictably my favorite side character of the book i just finished (not naming it so i don't spoil anyone) is the main antagonists' once friend, now general and "dog" who turns around to bite and betray him in the end.

perplexes me how people can write reviews of books without having taken extensive notes while reading it. even a few days after finishing one i can't recall it in enough detail for me to feel confident in what i'm saying.

Die Stasi, die Gestapo und andere "Sicherheitsorgane" autoritärer Systeme hätten sich bzw. freuen sich über diesen Frontalangriff auf unsere Bürgerrechte. Auch in Deutschland wird der Überwachungsstaat ausgebaut und gefährdet unsere Freiheit!

every day at work i want to scream.

we're making progress + "moodboard" for the embroidery which prompted additional lore bits, namely that Alestus' family's domain is particularly rich in ores and that is their main trade. which incidentally also works well well with the tower being the family's symbol. #larp #crafting

Feeling red and blue [ #OC he/him #Art]

for someone whose interest in tech has taken a hard nose dive thanks to the state of the industry and the AI craze at work, I keep starting a lot of little projects.

VHS cassette packaging design was on another level

co-worker who asked for my help with something is answering any of my out-loud thinking through the process with AI responses. it's taking everything in me to not just tell him off and to do it himself then if AI knows everything anything. i still need my job, unfortunately.

People with #adhd have three types of workday: * Get absolutely nothing done * Get 4 hours of work done at a random point in time * Get 40 hours of work done in 4 hours All types are sprinkled with work unrelated sidequests

don't think i ever posted this Spike art here. my City Gangrel from a free-play LARP evening. he was a throwaway character but i had so much fun playing him that i hope to get to play him more in the future. #art #vtm #gangrel

one month left until part 2 of the LARP that i'm still trying to finish summarizing via in character diary entries. can i make it? (let's not think about the related side LARP that happened in between as well).

after a year of thinking about it, finally actually made it to try-out HEMA practice. it was interesting.

curious if there's other LARPers on the fediverse (or bsky). would love to follow your adventures. #larp #larp

I’ve said for a long time: the tech world likes to reinvent magic every few years. It can be exciting, but it’s also really dangerous when we wave the wand, tell people not to worry about things behind the curtain, instead of taking time to explain, and educate everyone. Transparency is key […]

i think i'm close to owning more clothes for LARP than i have for every day wear (i don't have a lot of clothes so not very hard tbf).

hand sewing the last bits of my LARP shirt (made by my partner) and avoiding all the internet nonsense. work makes me want to disconnect at the end of the day.

Night’s Calvary #JacobtheTarnished #art

helped with renovations today. made me think of the many humans that have touched this place through the decades. pieces of each of them in hidden layers of long-out-of-fashion wallpaper, the scribbles on stone beneath. old scars patched, never the same again. a new generation. new hands. new marks.

soon a rain of blood, the likes of which you cannot imagine, shall fall down upon you. it will be a storm of death. but take heed, struggler - struggle, endure, contend. for that alone is the sword of one who defies death. #berserk #guts #ベルセルク

crafting in the meat space is doing a lot to keep me sane atm and counterbalance the AI craze at work. the bubble can't burst soon enough. i want out.

we were meant to (finally) make it to our first HEMA practice to check out a local club but once again were foiled by deutsche bahn. pretty frustrated by it. and i bet they won't refund our ticket either.

the shield is now fully painted #larp

The Red Tapestry, by Jaime Corum

made good progress on the shield today. #larp #crafting

little bun

80 Jahre nach dem Holocaust verabschiedet sich Deutschland wieder von Menschlichkeit, Mitgefühl und Empathie. Gerade ist mein Blick in die Zukunft Schwarz-Braun ...

i have three pairs of braies now, the base of a shield (need to add the charges) and we got all the linen we need for our shirts at a local fabric market today. #larp #crafting

chipping away at this in-character diary entry for last spring's LARP. it's been difficult, telling the story from his pov, in his voice, capturing all that happened without it turning into just a list of events and (somehow) also establish him as an unreliable narrator.

An hour after midnight [ #OC, he/him, #art]

jacket i recently bought secondhand and modified for a LARP character who is practically a furry (hyena spirit possessing a human body). #larp #crafting
