    Kiki this video is absloutly so fun to watch! You did a fantastic job fully capturing the experience and bringing us along for all the chaotic and calm moments. It truly makes me miss the event so much. Absloutly loved being able to hang out and talk to you more this event and hope to meet you again on more adventures :D

    You are living my dream. I always wanted to LARP at least once in my life but none of my friends are into it or have the time to commit to one so i don't feel okay going alone and I have no idea how to even get into it. So I love and support from the distance. I really love seeing people storytelling and enjoying fantasy. I'm glad you had so much fun!

    • @Incandescentkiki
      @Incandescentkiki  Місяць тому +6

      It can be hard to find your people, but I think you’d really love it there if you ever get the chance! I met my plenty of people who go by themselves! They always have a blast, and end up leaving with tons of new friends. It was really fun to meet up with people again too ❤️

    Ok so I'm just happened to come across this video and I have to comment and say this looks absolutely awesome! I wish they had this stuff going on when I was younger bcuz I would've gone to every one of em lol I don't mean to sound corny or anything but I always used to wish I could go back in time and experience what it's like to live back then and this is the closest thing you can get to that unless you happen to have a time machine laying around lol. This is amazing and I can tell from the video that you guys really had a great fun time. I wish I was in my 20's bcuz I'd be all over these events lol

    • @Incandescentkiki
      @Incandescentkiki  11 днів тому +2

      It's truly a magical experience! You should definitely check out some events if you can! There are people all the way up into their 80s at these events. There’s no limit, if it looks fun you can do it too! You also can do RV camping at this one or stay in a nearby hotel if the camping seems too much

    • @rickwalsh76
      @rickwalsh76 11 днів тому

      @Incandescentkiki if I was to do it I'd stay on site and camp out in a tent like everyone else so I can get the authentic experience. One thing I was wondering about is are there showers there to clean up after a sweaty day or no just go to the pond or stream lol?

    • @Incandescentkiki
      @Incandescentkiki  11 днів тому +1

      @ yes!! There are two shower buildings and I never waited for one. If you went after a big battle, there would probably be a line, but I would go around the evening before dinner.

    • @rickwalsh76
      @rickwalsh76 11 днів тому

      @Incandescentkiki ok good bcuz it would suck sharing a tent with people who haven't showered in days lol so I'm assuming these events happen during the summer or do they do em in the winter too? Which one would you recommend to a newbie to go to for his first time?

    I only regret these events being so far spread all over the world and not being so popular in my country, unfortunately.
    But it's great seeing people having fun, living fantasy, even for a short period of time. Hopefully, it will spread^^

  • @MrSheduur
    @MrSheduur 8 днів тому

    This looks like great fun. I have only been to european ones and they are just more atmospheric due to the authentic sourroundings and the advantage of having old castles and woods with history around, but I saw some of your videos and of your friend lanchen and I was pleasantly surprised that the american larps look alot better than I expected.
    If you have not seen it, I would recommend Drachenfest, Kaltenberger Ritterturnier and Epic Empires. They are in Germany and absolutely worth a visit. While Drachenfest and Epic Empires are actual LARPs, Kaltenberger Ritterturnier is more of a fest, but it is so very cool to see. Check it out here on the tube, there are some fantastic vids about all of them. Enjoy! :)

    I think my only problem would be that I will not pretend that I have any other God than God. I don't really go to Mass anymore but I still have my faith and God has kept me alive through many real adventures including war and combat and I have been shot twice and stabbed multiple times so I only claim one God.
