Lecture: Larps in the Heart of Europe

Description
We would like to present Czech (and mention Slovakian) larps, their history, present and future of the most popular events and organizations in our country. We also want to talk about new and interesting projects like Czech-Slovak national larp conference, politics-based larps, larpedia, chamber larps movement, opening larps for general public etc.

Let´s come and see that we play more than just boffer battles. Themes we use are more colourful than fantasy and sci-fi and our players are not kids only.
