Hey! I played the lady who brought you to the visions in the tent. Thank you for creating a video about our location and storytelling! We try to be a plotlocation focusing on English language, sharing plot information and immersive roleplay experiences that add depth to the world. It's extremely rewarding to see how you guys have experienced it. Thanks from the Atelier/Wardens team!

Heyyyy. Here is your friendly undead candle maker. I really loved the scene with you two. I could really see the message we wanted to spread, get picked up by you two. Until next conquest !

That was SO MUCH FUN. And I got to learn a new candle making skill! Thank you so much for the experience!

I just want to add for those who might think that they got any sort of special treatment with cool events because of this channel, that is 100% not the case! My girlfriend and I attended our first Conquest last year and had a similar experience! We were just walking down a road one day and one of the people in charge sent us on a quest to crack an encrypted message. This took us to the Atelier, where we got a ton of information, from which we were then sent to join in the ritual that helped change the Black Prince, which they mentioned in the video. And we were just some newbie players who didn't even have the Crimson Company to support us! So happy that you enjoyed the event and I hope I might run into you in the future!

Hey, i'm the commander of the fighters with the red sun on their banner, glad to hear you liked fighting with us. If you guys come again next year, feel free to join us in battle. The people playing in the mud actually are also my people, there was no profit incentive in any kind to this 😂

Ohman, it was such a joy watching this video! I was the Undead Flesh who talked about their face being touched by St. Vitoria! I hope you find out more about our particular Levy in the future! Was a blast to have you in the scene!

Oh wow, that 'family' you talk about at the end of the video was me and my youngest son. But the woman with us (with the leather spaulder) was not my wife😂, she was an archer in our Skargen crew. We had a little tour trough battlefield and settler camps, already in Skargen outfit, which ended at the Tross. My son said it would be funny if we would meet you - and a minute later it happened. It was so amazing to meet you (and now to see you remembering us) . I hoped to meet you on battlefield the next days but didn't see you. Maybe next year.

Conquest this year was my first larp in a very long time. It was incredible. despite the mud and rain. I had pre-weathered my gear with mud, but i wouldnt have needed to. My moccasins quickly became a sacrifice to the mud gods so i went most of the event barefoot. Which really worked for my former peasant/serf character. So much happened, and i met so many awesome people in those few days. One of the most memorable moments for me was probably when i got my back fixed by the undead flesh. Or that time after the after party when i joined the brothers X and I on a merry jaunt to the battlepond (which wasnt our original destination) and found a most disturbing love letter. All in all, had a great time. For the Company!

A pleasure to have helped you and your ways ;) Very Kind regards from your Commander Jonathan Crimson

It was great to meet you in person since you are responsible for most of my gear I wore at the event. Please continue your great and inspiring work.

Man, I was hoping to happen by you on the streets or have you come to us eventually, since you seemed be interested in the shady underbelly of the Tross ;) Hope to geht the chance to have one of two things happen next year!

I am somewhat envious of you getting loaned one of the rapier prototypes. That one definitely is on my list too. Imediately saw it when I came by at the Freyhand tent. The do make absolutely stunning classic larp weapons. So many stores changed to cast foam, which for example with Wyvern is some really damn good stuff, but Freyhand has perfected the oldschool style of carved foam covered with latex to a degree they have no trouble holding up to the much improved detailing and shape of the newer techniques to make them. And their stuff lasts. I have a 6 year old cludgel from them that still looks like new.

That is definitely in the top two for the nicest / most realistic larp rapier that I've ever seen. It's gorgeous! I love the Norse inspired design on Maddie's(sp?) sword as well! Side note, my dream is to make a Musketeer group to crash LARP events with.

The Conquest was different this year than in previous years, different wild. It was really exhausting for us NPCS, because there was a lot of uncertainty about the operational plans for a long time, which of course also restricted our city game. And we were so worried because of the waether, there were a lot of things, that we weren't able to perform as NPScs. But when the undead were drowned during one of the stormw, it showed once again what a brilliant community the NPCS are. I tried a bit to keep my eyes open on the battlefield, if we see you, then we would have dragged you to our white-touched one ;) and Freyhand is one of the coolest german Larp Shops :D I love my short hunting spear so much. And the white smoke was the spawning mechanism for us Skargen :D to 18:25 the abbility is called "Druckwelle" so its a blaste wave and it's meant to get the battle lines moving a bit and give us NPCs room to open up the battle lines Thanks for the extensive video, it's really interesting from an NPC point of view to see more of all these player things. Are you planning to come back to the Conquest next year?

Hi, from which ship are you? It really was harder than last year. We had double shifts on battlefield or only short breaks between the shifts. On the other hand we were lucky ones with our campside on a slope.White smoke was also used for Skargen rituals and by one of our ships group to attack 'out of the fog'. There are some real nice pics that shows how it 's used.

Hey! Thanx for your view in our great hobby! But just a little note: the camp and characters, shown from 26:11 to 29:03 aren't NPCs. They are players. And the shown tents and probs are on their own!

It was so much fun meeting you guys. It's a shame we didn't have the opportunity to cross blades on the battlefield. (I am a member from Black dynasty member btw)

This event was a gold mine on so many levels! You're gonna get at least two videos about the event itself and who knows how many videos from ideas for things you saw at the event that you can make at home.

Thanks for your video. Visiting the Conquest really changed the way I Larp and it's great to see how amazed you are from your journey! :-)

One of my favorite things about Germany is, even if you know German, they are often more eager to practice their English than you are to practice your German. I really wish I had been able to go.

That looked like so much fun! Everyone doing things like falling away from a mage to taking you to see the undead, to the coin quest. Wow! That has to be the greatest LARP! I'm in!

definitely want a gear breakdown once the event is over, love the snippets of the new loadouts.

The excitement in their voices and how the explain all their experiences is why I’m always so happy whenever I see the updates!

So happy you had fun and maybe we'll be seeing each other at the ConQuest next year 😁

This sound really fun. You need another floating camera trailing you. They can be your chronicler and then they could also be a player. It would be funny and entertaining if they got distracted.

awesome stories, and amazing to see so many comments from those interactions here, what a community and larp!

Skill Tree, you folks present some excellent larp kit tutorial videos and now you have attended one of my favorite larps with a pair of great videos to discuss it. Huzzah! Watching these two videos has helped in my research to make a return this year after a 5-6 year break from the hobby. And let me say, as I person who put in a lot of effort to help introduce the English speaking international larp community to Drachenfest and Mythodea “back in the day” I understand the challenges and you are doing a great service.

The Larp looks and sounds similar to one of our UK systems, EMPIRE, we have roughly 4000 players, several Nations with unique looks like feels, on-site Larp traders, in-game economy, battles, skirmishes and an overarching plot. If you are in the UK and haven't tried Empire yet, I highly recommend it but we do also have other large systems too... Shout out to curious pastimes and lorien trust

Larp isn't just bashing each other with a sword. Even Conquest isn't.

Sounds awesome. I was there too, had an eye out but was not searching for you 😊 Your first days are really the opposite of mine, we where at the second to farthest field with our camp and the weather trapped us. Tents needed to be rebuild, we digged trenches, shuffled tends end beds around so we had more space to dry stuff etc At the Halfpoint of the Con I was ready to burn everything. Also I was there as a streetmerchant with a Bellyshop, selling matches, firestarters and stuff like that...the rain really hindered that😅 Still had good time tho And bonded quite deep with new and old friends over this battle against rain, wind, mud and the longing to go adventuring.

Looks like too much fun, thanks for sharing!! 😊 😃

I think the "whats going on, what should I do, how can I get to know people?" thing can be covered by pretty much any normal player group that is happy to include new players (which are pretty much all of them I think).

About the Mudpocolypse....one of the most long-term events, Pennsic, went horribly wrong one year with particularly bad hurricane blasts. To this day, we still laugh about it. It was epic in it's own way. Survival bonds people I hear. The place was trashed and everyone helped everyone with everything, and just HUNG ON at it's worst. However, after decades of being authentic medieval occupied, I miss my gaming days, and long for the game. I did attend a single local LARP event, but either my age or my....overly traditional....garb seemed to be off putting. I'd like to attend someplace with TRAINING available so I'm not just wandering about being a wall flower. I've got ideas for my fantasy character....with more LARP appropriate costume. But I need to study first! And a little mud wouln't dampen my enthusiasm!

Oh god I remember when the sky darkened and the rain started xD I was there trying to solve some plot stuff, the clouds got darker and people around me started being like "we should withdraw, get to somewhere with a roof!" And I was so immersed, I was like "Just one more minute!" Then the rain came and from one second to the other it was crazy weather. And I looked around me and all of my friends were gone because they had run off to tents and I was suddenly in the middle of the field where there were still some enemies ,:D I do NOT play a fighter...

2024 Goal - I totally need to experience something like this in Australia or maybe even Germany. Looks like so much fun
