Aliens, androids and apes: LARPzeit Magazine #82
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been a part of our lives for a while now - everyone has heard of AI-generated texts and images. In this issue, Arne Sendke reflects on whether the use of AI in larp makes sense for the creation of artifacts, as larp is often about enriching a world and making it diverse and authentic. The builders of the Larp village Bogenwald also regularly think about an authentic feeling, which they share with us in this LARP time. You can also get to know the plot planners of Forrest Town, learn about teamwork in larp, read about character deaths in larp, try out a delicious recipe in the style of the Alamanni and much more. In this issue you will also find two DIY instructions for preparing for your future cons.
