MittelPunkt 2012

once upon a LARP

Mainz in January 2012 – MittelPunkt - the international LARP conference hostet by the German Larp-Association (DLRV e.V.) - is celebrating its seventh anniversary. This time we have chosen Mainz, the state capital of Rheinland-Pfalz as the venue.
MittelPunkt is a gathering to advance communication and exchange between Live-Action-Role-Players of all genres and settings. With more than 100 participants and numerous guests from all over Europe it is an international event for the whole european LARP-community with Mini-Larps, workshops, discussions and lectures as the main features. We also provide a platform for associations and camapaigns for their annual meetings. MittelPunkt also provides the perfekt frame for the F.R.E.D.-Award, a price for progressive and innovative LARP events in Germany. The F.R.E.D. is rewarded for excellent, forward-looking and often unusual or otherwise remarkable LARP concepts which took place in 2011.

This year we would like to take a look back in time. The first major German LARP event, the "Draccon 1" took place 20 years ago, an opportunity to take a closer look on those "glory days" and 20 years of Live-Action-Role-Play in Germany.

We have chosen the slogan "Once Upon a LARP" to point out that a lot of inspiration, at least for the fantasy genre, originates in myths and fairy-tales and so this will be the central theme of the event. So you better take your Red Riding Hood costume with you for the party ;-)

As always, MittelPunkt depends on your participation and we will be thankfull for every input YOU can give.

We're looking forward to an outstanding MittelPunkt 2012 with all of you!
