Opus Magnum is a gothic horror larp that takes place in the Czech borderlands at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The game itself is only for six female characters.

LARP inspired by the book 1984. So there was distress, fear, insecurity and efforts to build a better tomorrow. Nothing more, nothing less. Either you work for the Party or be recycled or straight shot. The question of what is the lesser evil.

"GameCon- the biggest festival of non-PC games"

Junktown the newly formed festival dedicated to everything that is hidden under the label "post-apo." This genre or style found its way to music, movies, photographs, paintings, larps and beyond. The Junktown festival then all these stuff collected at one place. Screening of the many post-apo films or hardcore music were commonplace. Then welcome addition to the need to snack of fried bugs (I tasted most of crickets). Then I could not miss even a proper larp battle or cruel postapocalyptic sport - jugger.
Ii was the first time I have got to this mini-larp-festival. Everyone was talking about, that HZNMcon is full of great people, friendly atmosphere and good mood. And I learned a very important thing - it's all true. :-)

Small album of portraits of individual characters (players) in the evening before the actual game.
In past when someone walked into the war, it was common to make a photo portrait - memorie for the family. To remember, who are on the front line fighting and risking their lives. I have used the photos to describe each character, and I believe that for some it worked perfectly.

The third (and last) international course organized by BEST(Board of Europeans Students of Technology), which I attended. Venue on Gran Canaria and the theme of the course were clear reasons simply must be there! The theme of the course was to elaborate a project on the Vargas beach and suggest its possible use for the needs of windsurfers and kitesurfers.

A year has gone by and was again time to visit the castle Tocnik and Gothic LARP. Unfortunately, I arrived just for one day and that day I was totally sick. I hope that I still managed to shoot enough photos that will make you happy. This year of Gothic LARP was much better than previous years. So this year Gothic LARP deserves a proper amount of photos that would capture it in all its glory.
Czech name of event: "Rozklad: Na konci cesty"
Decay is a new event that appeared on our post-apocalyptic larp scene. Decay was an all-weekend event that included night fighting and attacks of the infected.

After a long time I finally got back to the LARP inspired by the world of Fallout. And according to my expectations it was worth it!

In next year I will be there again!
Very unusual larp setted on the idea of large international summits. But here we are on the planet Astaka, which is located in another solar system, where a small portion of mankind escaped from Earth from the rule of androids.

It is necessary to face unexpected problems, establish new alliances and deal with the issue of electing the Great Tribe, which will rule planet Astaka for next period...
Several months passed and again we had a chance to enjoy this unique larp setted in the wild west. Again we heard the gunshots, the sound of hooves or sound of the piano in local bar. This time I could stay the whole time and it was really unique.
And it was so great that the third run I'm going to play !!!
