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

A fun game that almost split into two - a Battlemaster and Catapult vs an Awesome and Wolverine, and a Thunderbolt and Commando vs a Shadow Hawk and Locust. The Battlemaster and T-bolt took a thumping, but the only fatality was the Shad - two medium lasers and an SRM to the head!
