Themes and suitability
You can find more information about the larps themes and suitability, as well as the privacy statement at the sign up page.
Sign up
Sign up for fifteenth run is closed.
Players are encouraged to sign up for the larp together with another player and choose which of the five mirror contact dynamics they want to play together. In this way, the probability that the most important contacts will work out is maximized. However, you can also sign up for the larp alone. Almost all characters have some form of connection with all the other characters in the larp, but each character has one or a few contact dynamics that play a bigger role than others.
The mirror contact dynamics available are as follows:
Casting
Since the larp is so small and all the relations between the characters are quite intense it is particularly important to have a balance both in terms of playstyle and compatibility between the players. Therefore the casting is done based on both the casting questionnaire as well as the co-player questionnaire. Casting questionnaire is filled as a part of sign up process and after the sign up is closed I will send another questionnaire to all who signed up and ask their preferences regarding co-players amongst those who signed up. During the casting I aim to find a good match between the player's character wishes and contact player wishes as well as creating a well-balanced group in terms of play styles and overall expectations.

Almost all characters have some form of connection with all the other characters in the larp, but each character has one or a few contact dynamics that play a bigger role than others.
The mirror contact dynamics available are as follows:
- Ex-lovers with centuries of resentment and rivalry with a faint memory of the love and unity they once shared. Parents and leaders of this family.
- A friendship that has stood the test of time, the chosen family for each other. One constant in an ever changing chaos and riptides of drama.
- Lovers with connection and trust built up over thousands of years. Love story of a lifetime that is at risk of falling apart.
- On/off-lovers caught in a stormy romance, where they can neither be together nor apart, now facing a turning point.
- New/potential lovers on the doorsteps of a brighter future struggling to face the shadows of the past.
