Kostis Stafylakis & Theo Triantafyllidis design a LARP for larpers and audience.

Embrace the chaos and embark on an unforgettable journey in The Horde: Goblin Mode, a one-of-a-kind LARP experience that fuses environmental sensibilities, immersive storytelling, and thrilling gameplay. Are you ready to discover a world where fantasy meets reality, and your actions shape the fate of a goblin-infused realm?

Welcome to a Climate-Shifting World: Step into a post-climate change realm, where a once-neoliberal dystopia has given rise to pandemics, mass extinction, and social unrest. Prepare to navigate the eternal gray skies caused by large-scale solar radiation management gone awry, as sulphuric mist clouds the horizon. It’s a realm where the failure of green capitalism has left a power vacuum, paving the way for new factions to rise and claim their destiny.

Join us in this LARP adventure that defies conventions, immerses you in a world of enthralling possibilities, and sparks your wild spirit. Experience the synergy of environmental consciousness and thrilling gameplay as you journey through “The Horde: Goblin Mode.” Are you ready to rewrite the fate of the realm?
