Last summer I had the privilege of crewing run 3 of the Odysseus larp in Helsinki (which I played in 2019).
The attached music video of the Odysseus theme, sung by Helena Haaparanta, gives a small insight into the game

One of the best larp photographers I have ever known, my friend and artistic collaborator Kai Simon Fredriksen has died. Many may also know him from the wise presence he brought to the documentary The Remarkable Life of Ibelin, which is warmly recommended.

Larping lost a great photographer this week - you’ll be missed Kai Simon Fredrikson
He took all of the below at the Redemption larp in Finland in September, and I was privileged to be photographed by him at several other larps
