DEMOTION: A Turnip28 comic

[ilinit]

Just a quick update on me.

I'm back from this year's Drachenfest in Diemelstadt. Second biggest larp event in the world.

It was amazing as always. A lot of love and amazing encounters.

Also my character started collecting stamps. Hugged an extremely furious 10000+ year old drow and was blessed by a nephelim.

I cried, laughed, hugged and played.

We invented a new sport, created a motto for the circle and cast big magical rituals.

The green camp is my happy place. I love my people there. And of course the ones from other camps as well.

We are family. Many leaves, one tree.

I already have so many ideas for next year. And can't wait to see everyone again.

This time in the first year of eternal change since the beginning. I'm sooo happy for them. They deserved it for sooo long.

I love you!

This is my first selfmade LARP outfit. It is for my ingame character "Charlotta Karotta" who is a candy seller at "Drachenfest" in Germany.

Post I just saw reminded me of the best part of DrachenFest this year for me.

I was part of a ballista crew for the Final Battle, the largest battle of the entire event where some 3000 or so people end up in a 10 (or more, potentially) way battle. I'm with Grey camp, who quite simply have the worst army on the field in terms of equipment, people actually showing up for battles, and winning field battles during the rest of the event.

Now this all happened about an hour in. By then our infantry support had ran away from us, we had found other Grey infantry to support, briefed them while they were fighting on when and how to open up their lines, and then given them significant fire support until the entire unit retreated... in the direction we were originally trying to break through towards (the entire formation apparently having rotated while we were all busy fighting).

Now we were standing behind a Green battle line (the Grey army is licking its wounds further back) that is waiting 30 meters from a battle, and we want to prepare them for doing fire support through their line if they get involved in this battle.

So we are talking to the soldiers, and their lieutenant shows up and tells us "we just cannot do that, we can't open up the line during battle, it'll break". And some of his guys nod, and then I tell him:

"We did this with the Grey army half an hour ago. If they can do it, so can you"

And I just turn around and start coordinating with the other siege crew and the guy leaves as my platoon commander says "Ouch, harsh. Fair, but harsh."

I just absolutely loved that.

Also fire support through their line went well, once we physically pulled their men to the side. And our opponents were wonderful when getting hit.

If your character had a cocktail made in their honor what would it be/be called?

My Turnip28 character a Toady of the 420th dead smokers 🤠 This is also planned to be my character for this upcoming Drachenfest U.S. which has brought a few fellas into the table top hobby due to T28's flexibility regarding models. I'd Highly recommend trying it! 🤠

I will never understand larps that need to hire “influencers.” And at this point I actively avoid those games.

Nothing against influencers. I just prefer my in game content in game and not everyone projecting their made up relationships on a TikTok star. Or games creating add ons to guarantee an interaction. (Gross much?)

good luck with the mud/flooding situation!!! we only heard abt it at df and it sounds horrible D:

It was really managable! The organizers limited car access to some of the fields on Sunday and Monday to protect the roads from getting completely churned up. so there were a few queues forming during check-in. But ultimately the mud situation was super managable compared to last year.
