You guys are like the Merry and Pippin of LARP. You tag along in the beginning of the main story for the fun but veer off wildly at some point and accidentally end up with your own subplots of just getting in trouble
That is SO accurate
Yes, yes it is😂
Atelier team here! We’re glad you enjoyed your time at our location, it makes us so happy to see your videos 🥰
This looks like it was SUCH a good time!
It REALLY was!
The shadows are still watching
😱
We will be waiting for you next year. 🥷
Looks like I’m your soulmate xD love it. BUT we are the nameless Order, because non profit and stuff. xD
Thanks for the super epic shoots!!!!
Next your we will see how all plays and pays out. ;-)

"If I knew I was performing for this big a crowd, I would've pulled a rabbit out of my hat."
Can just hear 'Kal' saying that after hearing how many people were clapping.
I call that 7 of hearts trick the "stuck shuffle." I'm sure there's an actual name for it, but I've gotten pretty good at keeping both the top *and* the bottom cards where they began. Not sure I could do it under stress or with a bag on my head, but it's a fun party trick for sure.
A shame I never met you in battle! Would have been fun!
I am the Skargen with the white braid and golden symbol at 0:20!
Amazing that even with all the plot you guys got involved in, it was still barely a sliver of everything going on! I am so impressed with everyone involved in running Conquest :O
I’m glad you guys had fun. You’ve inspired me to get in to crafting, thank you. After hearing the larp stories, I’m looking in to finding some Lara’s to go to. Thank you again and keep up the good work.
Not gonna lie these past videos really have me eyeing tickets to Germany... google is already suggesting it for me 😅
Come over it will be a lot of fun!!!
Best greeting from the big guy at the tavern 😉
Literally munching on popcorn listening to this whole thing. LOVE hearing about your exploits at cons, and very much look forward to meeting you at one next year!
You two are geniuses at explaining these epic adventures in such a way that I feel like I was there for the big moments.
The journey has just begun, but the stories are instant classics! I cannot wait until next year!
My wife and I were at conquest about a decade ago. We helped a friend of us running here newcomer shop. We were so impressed of everything, that we started visiting medieval markets, whenever we find one. And your Chanel provides so much new ideas for me, I really need a workshop corner in my house 😂
Excellent video worth every second
Thank you so much for watching!!!
Turquoise/tourmaline
Tormaloise!
I could sit and listen to you two for hours, tell us more about Conquest.
once again a fantastic story that has me dreaming of going to an event like this myself. Keep it coming!
Never LARPed before. Never even been to a Ren Faire... but man, your videos make me want to try LARPing.
I ate one of those mushrooms and temporarily grew horns xD, good thing you didn't eat them
So fun to listen to you talk about Conquest as new players, really helps me with my post larp blues 💙
So happy that you loved it, hope to cross your path in Mistraspera !
Man I want to go so bad! It's just such an expensive trip considering I have no larp gear :(
We are trying to figure out a way to make it easier! Stay tuned!
@@SkillTree I always am!
My first LARP when I was 16 is longer gone then Mythodea does exist, but my first "Mage Regalia" were made of two old bedsheets I dyed black and my mother had sewn into a something that was basically an ankle long sack with arms and a Kapuze(hood?) attached… and normal Jeans an T-Shirt underneath, I just wrapped my Adidas and lower legs with ribbons out of leftover bedsheet, so that they didn't show
I build my first fighting staff out of Bamboo*, Pipe insulation, painters tape and paint.
I still own the Robe, I still own that Staff* and still use both sometimes when LARPing or going to a renfair
If you don't own leather and find it to expansive to buy, use paper... wrapping paper to be exact and glue. If you glue two-three(or more) sheets together with, and that is important, flexible glue you can make "vegan leather". When stained and textured you get something that looks and can be worked nearly the same way as leather. It may need a bit strengthening at the seams but with a bit of work it can be made into armour, bags, hats and nearly anything.
Second Hand & Thrift Stores are also extremely interesting as source for, well, stuff and trinkets
Its a costume! Will it look stunning if you get a hand crafted Metal Cuirass?
Yes!
But if you budget only allows for a fake one, go for a fake one. If you make an effort to make it look good, it will show and you will look good with it
If you don't have the budget, you'll have to find the time to find other things, things that can be made to look like the real thing, its just make-believe anyway xD
___
*disclaimer, Bamboo might be outdated and forbidden on LARPs today,
look into the rules as what constitutes as a proper weapon core today!
I changed mine to a Fibercore a long time ago.
@@Luziferne I think I have a tendency to want to do everything at 100% and I like things to look as authentic as possible. I think I'd be decent at foam carving though as I do quite a bit of miniature work with wargaming terrain crafting and painting.
Another problem is storage, I hardly have enough space for my hobbies and clothes as is. Maybe I can commandeer some of my folks shed.
I also make fantasy maps for d&d so would love to work that into a character somehow
@@jasonread16
Even more reasons to DIY your stuff, because nothing authentic then self-made in a LARP and If you already have 1st hand experience on how to stain and texture stuff even better!
And you have a Chara-idea already too! A traveling Cartographer!
Research how maps were made in the past, which tools they used to measure the world. Build one out of scrap wood. Light Armour, as you have to "walk the Land", maybe some Linothorax or light Leather.
A Foam "Spyglass" & "Compass" as a weapon&shield? And maybe a foam dagger or rapier for heavy fighting. Maybe a Shepherds Sling with foam Stones as ranged Weapon, that one is easy to learn, but hard to master. Tubes and satchels, for maps and paints. Small odds and end and trinkets to round out your gear
And I think that @SkillTree here is a good resource for how to make stuff and level up xD
Well, I have my plans for sometime in the next few years
I just had such a laugh as you were telling us about it so I'm glad you are going again next year
Tx for all this. Its actually great to see normal costumes as opposed to high end 1000 euro a pop masterpieces. I know a fare few folk put off by euro latps as perceive that the costume standards are too high for them. Its nice to see...bulk standard costumes
That's a great recap guys, glad you had fun, greetings from the Nameless company, it was a pleasure to have you in our camp ;)
🧐
Still jealous y’all got to go larping next time. Reminder if y’all run a larp just let me know I will be there! Armor ready and a bunch of weapons. Cl3ver saw my 5 foot tall sword. Also from now on turquoise is now turquloise thank you queen crow Maddie.
I would love to know more about this collectable card game of "fine art"! Can we get a video talking more about that?
Madi=magpie 🎉
She is a crazy lil bird.
This is amazing. Thank you so much for bringing this adventure to us! Love seeing through this window into something I never knew was there.
i love the "keep leveling up you" until ur last breath!!!!!!!!
that is awsome... i feel like there is some sort of t-short opp for that....
i dont do tshirts with crap on it but ill back that
Love the idea of this larp, would really like to find one here in the US though that would allow for a sort of gun slinger/swashbuckler hybrid character I kind of want to make though.
These events look super cool. With as much as I have heard a group of people could build and design a permeate place designed for 50k people with full modern hidden amenities. Full on games and side quests and living life for each event.
Modern Inns and eaterys. There are a lot of events that can cross over Larp events.
Do you have a video on how to get started with larp?
Then see you next year!
I highly recommend going to the Drachrnfest two! Its the week directly before Conquest. It's a little smaller but completely PvP and has just more battles, Aktion and stupid stories that happen between players.
My Favorite Stories regarding our essence friends (I cannot guarantee for the truth of these):
1. Long ago they had a Unit just for measuring things. These guys measured the player defenses. And then sent several Raks into suicide missions to attempt conversation with the players and unfortunately met one of the strongest in the settler camp (Although If I remember correctly that was a player-sided NPC) wo continued to kill them all at once, until they sacrificed two armored dudes first. He then goes "What?" like, very annoyed. The Raks then ask "could you move this pallisade 50cm so it fits in with our measurements?" Well, oneshot once again.
2. Another, recently: A Rak was standing at a well, players are like "huh, that guy seams to develop curiosity, let him go on. The Rak then sliced up his arm and thus poisons the well with essence, I think he even entirely let himself slide in. As essence of course.
But those are all second hand tales, I might have gotten something wrong or heard about stuff that never happened
Every time we hear “oh no” in any of its iterations we should take a shot! ❤😂
This looks like it was such a blast. Thank you so much for sharing!
Now we need your gear review for it
Man, this looks like fun.
One day I will need to find a way to get into this myself.
Hope to see further adventures on this channel! Cheers!
Glad you guys had such an epic time!! Just curious - I know the LARP community has such talented peoples... Did you happen to meet any other DIY-ers that you could point us to for more make n create fun?
lOVE the guy who just needed to tell you to keep leveling up! epic
It was nice, introducing you to the frivolita card play. You are a bunch of nice guys! 😊
I don't know if I'd ever want to do what y'all are doing, BUUUTTTTTTT I would love to film you guys. This sounds amaze balls
I recommend watching the movie "Knights of Badassdom." It's LARPing movie with real demon summoning. 10/10. I loved it. I'm sure you would, too.
I think I saw an Alliance shield in there! Were there adventurers from Azeroth on the field? xD
You guys sounds like you had an adventure written by Terry Pratchett. 😂😂😂
Good sir, if you'd ever like to do a video on false shuffling cards and ways to keep a deck stacked, I'd be happy to either send links to where I learned or make some videos on the topic and send them your way!
How many drinks have you two had lol?
You’re really making me want to go to Conquest! Don’t know if I’ll ever be able to go but it sounds like so much fun! Maybe someday…
I love how great and fun loving you guys are.
This sounds awesome! Really want to go next year!
I think I've seen you in the Tross while I was looking for the Alchemist Guild, but then with the sludge of MUDodea took the best of me, it was about to rain too, so I decided to get back at my camp. I so wanted to say hi though
Not being part of the main plot and becoming distracted random stuff that wasn't planned and just spontaneously happened, partying in the Tross till morning, someone being possessed by an enemy faction trying to kill you... Sound like a pretty normal conquest.
I was the guy who pledged allegiance to the black Prince. I am part of another forsaken faction, the society of doubt, do it was more of an renewal of the allegiance we already had.
If you come back, maybe I can tell you the true history of mythodea and not the adamant propaganda you are fed by your fellow settlers.
35:00 Ah, you encountered a Purgatorius, one of the artifact seekers of our blessed King Garvan :D From your description, he was from the Order of Saint Dugald :D
i probably wont ever get to go. if you could do a first person video that would be awsome!!
lets gooo, so exited
You can skin someone with a very sharp shovel
It’s a good feeling that there are people who love nerd stuff in other countries. Nerd Culture rules!!!
Turkelois, the best color!
Crossing my fingers for a full-costume showcase.
Come to Drachenfest 2024! Eitherway next year we go to DF and Conquest! So i will see you then!
This sounds so cool! I wish i could go too !
Sounds soooo fun. We're their any orcs there
Yes, there is a big camp with Orcs, they are PCs.
“Just useless, hehe, we’re such useless characters!!” 23:51
You’re not useless if you’re the NPCs that wander around in the background of the Main Characters story 😆
Like every movie needs their extras, larps needs their NPCs
I really enjoyed this
I'm a little jealous that you had such a great experience on conquest. It was my first time as well but I had no such cool immersive events. I felt like I was only wandering around and didn't get what was going on. What did I do wrong 😅?!
Mhmm difficult to say but with the informations given:
Your character possibly didn't offer much of play by themself.
I always recommand New players that just being a warrior isn't enough because the only play you offer other people to engage with you is fighting.
Always think about what one can do, right now I'm working on a toy mechant with straw Puppets for children.
Gives other people plenty ways to Engage with me.
Experiences always differ a little. For example, I have friends that went for many years and said that this was the worst larp theyve ever been to. Others had a very great time. My experience was... okay. It all really depends on your surroundings and sometimes just luck, being in the right places. For example, I think if they had actually gone to the Archon, from my experience, it would have been a lot less fun than stumbling into the wrong camp and then meeting other people.
They also mostly played in the Tross, which is notorious for always being busy and having something happen. Theres a bunch of factors (If it was also your first larp in general, I wouldnt recommend something that big for the start. Where you there with an established player group or relatively by yourself?
Damn it! I am from the southwest US, I could literally die now because I know "turqueloise" is going to come out of my mouth. Did I mention that a section of my family are native americans who sell jewelry?
this looks awesome good on you
Not bad friends, it just shows trust that you think they'll have your back. LOL
How about a game of Gwent???
You should be aware - and make your viewers aware:
This expirience is not the usual Conquest expirience!
Clever and co. got two (!) ONE in SEVENHUNDERED events in a row in the very first event. This is not normal. Conquest of Mythodea had this problem since the early years with the element camps that the great events always had 'magically' found the VIP Players and their crew. It was tried to get better then this, but Viewers be aware:
Burgschneider did make sure that they have had a unique event and got not only great plots, great visions and great expiriences, but also the first hand care of an SL. They been bought in Influencers in the end. Keep this in mind, or you may be dissapointed.
I don't say that the Mythodea is bad. But as someone that been there since 2005 I know that this is not a normal expirience, but the special VIP threatment that they got to get a good video from it. I and all the people in my playgroup and people around that i know never managed to get any of this "one in 700" events happen to them.
As you have copied and pasted this from the last video, I will do the same with my response. I am going to push back a little on this one. Not your experience, as I was made aware of how rare a thing those two experiences were. But I will push back that it was because of VIP treatment. Mostly because they couldn't have known we would end up there. We ignored all of the plot hooks given to us by the new player experience and took on our own random quest from our curiosity. We went to the mage guild to learn more about a coin, and they had no info, so they said we could try the artilleir*, as that is where random info is gathered. It took us no more than 15 minutes to get there, and 10 min after that, the first experience happened. They would have had to, in the time it took us to walk from the tross, prepared the tent we went to in the woods, prepared background audio recordings, grabbed some in costume undead flesh, come up with thw premis and make sure everyone was on the same page, and then bring us in. The second one had whole setpieces and prophecy recordings playing in the background. That is a whole lot of setup in a stupid small amount of time. Though rare to happen, I honestly think that is way too tight a window for them to set all that in motion, especially since the only Burgschnieder person with us was holding the camera and following. Would have been hard to miss the rapid setup, lol.
Being a youtuber covering an event tends to get you fewer experiences, at least so far for us, not more. Because we are trying to show as much as possible and had to stop halfway to film talking bits, we end up doing lots of wandering. Most of the new players who were with us went off and had WAY better adventurea lol. We got super lucky that our random question about a necklace led us to a story rich environment this time. To your point, tho, it was indeed a rare thing, I understand, and won't be everyone's experience.
As the guy filming these experience I can tell you that I was more surprised than they were.
The first was a 700% moment that took place for small groups throughout the afternoon who were at the Atelier. They were not the only group to experience this scene.
The second was a group dream sequence that took place for everyone in the Atelier at that point, with 20+ people in the experience together.
The Vice and Virtue play is actually all player driven, and was not planned by the plot team at all.
I appreicate you trying to balance expectations, but assuming it's VIP Treatment is simply untrue.
After 11 years as an NPC at the second largest LARP event (Drachenfest "copper camp") I am seriously thinking about also joining the "undead flesh" 😃
You experiences really show good reasons for being a player but I still prefer being a battle NPC for Life 😁
Maybe it works out and I'll do the Drachenfest/Conquest double pack next year
You are welcome... :)
This sounds amazing but the entire time you were describing the bit about the knockout mechanic and getting bagged I couldn't help but worry about how someone could actually be put in real danger by people who abuse it. Is there ways to mitigate that risk within the event? Ways to know who is an event organizer/staff member?
First, it's a big community of larpers, people are there to play together and have a great time. The risk of getting in real danger isn't that high. There are mechanics to show intime or outtime if you don't like the situation like crossing your arms in front of your body means your outtime (you stop playing / want to go out of the situation immediately). If you want to stay in time there are security words to show your opponent that you don't like the situation / you don't want to interact with him. Using the word 'really, really' intime like saying 'I really, really don't want to do this' means that you want to get out of this situation because you have a serious problem with it. You can use really, really if you don't want to break up with immersion.
If you want to get out of a situation immediately you say 'STOP' loud and clear or shout out. If you do this everyone around knows, something serious is happen and will stop playing and look what happens and if help is needed.
Event managers / staff members wearing in time clothing, too but they're easily to identify by wearing big yellow bags or ribbons. Even leaders of PC and NPC groups have yellow ribbons to show they have staff authorities.
There is also an outtime rest room we're you can get professional psychological support.
Man... i need to go now, *scrambles off to look up how to get a passport*
will yall be putting all the video clips together to make a movie??
Can't help but wonder if your card playing buddies were expecting you to cheat the hell out of those three games. 😅
If you got more aerial or combat footage pls share. even if its just barely edited with some free music over it. As an Combat NPC its the part i enjoy the most and it is always very superficially covered. Would helpt to convince more ppl to become an npc. the trailers and photos dont actually show how fun combat can be. Or how well coordinated some engagements are. Would also help to show how big they can get. sadly the organizer has a bad trackrecord for showing more then tinsy tiny clips of combat.
Well, look at it this way. If people are out to kill you, you're doing something right. Lol
Good stories 🎉 🕊️
The real question is what do you do when you got to go and someone has kidnapped you...
There is a RP Mechanic taught to players for this exact situation that communicates it without breaking the scene.
Hi Clever, im not sure if it wass said in this video or the previous one, but you mentioned recognising a weighted die. How did you do it? What is the trick? Have you ben feeling for imperfections in the surface or what?
the weight, it says it in the name lol. if u play dice a lot ull recognize a weighted one immediatly, especially with a normal die to compare lol.
I wouldve turned back to see their faces and ran
2:02 Twerkaloise Company
Did you try to get frivolita cards?
👍👍👍👍👍
lol hashtag #turquloise 😅
free at last you screw it up would leave him there too if they want to give him back they have to pay you t take him lol great you had a fantastic time their too
"YES DADDY!"
A bag put over your head from behind and literally dragged away? Grabbed by the neck from behind? That's asking for someone to be real world hurt very seriously. Very much BANNED conduct in reasonable LARP rules.
Listening to this, I expect there is a certain amont of dramatisation. The rules Burgschneider enforces are very much along the lines of "safe, sane, consentual" - if you know who you're dealing with, have agreed to full contact play and are in a reasonably safe terrian, then dragging someone is perfectly acceptable.
Grabbing someone by the neck in LARP usually means you have your hand placed so that your thumb and pointerfinger are on their collarbone or on their jaw. It has the same visual effect, but is safe bc your hand is "anchored" on bone.
For bagging, there are certain weaves of fabric that are sheer to the point of being see through, you can cut an unobtrusive slit into the fabric or you can simply pull the bag over someone's head, then break character for a moment, explain what is happening and walk without the bag until your in a safe environment and resume play at that point.
Burgschneider also has certain "safewords": calling out "stop" is a full break of play. Everyone breaks character, the situation is asessed ooc and play resumes once an agreement has been found or the scene is dissovled. The "really really" rule means whatever is being said needs to be respected in game, like "I really really need to get back to camp." If someone is going to "take care of the horses" it means they are dealing with duties/matters outside of the game (showers, restroom breaks, cleaning dishes, etc.).
I've been to Conquest and related cons for around 8 years now, and the only actual injuries I have seen were accidents along the line of someone tripping or accidentaly catching a blow to the head in fighting. Anyone who maliciously breaks the rules is dealt with very quickly by the game masters.
