People are tweeting about LARPs in the context of the flop of a Star Wars immersive experience ($3,000 for meh?), and I'd like to point out the vast majority of both Nordic and American LARPs take place in original settings, not fanfic. The medium's strength is not rolling with a specific setting like Star Wars but combining different things, to the point that it became an Intercon trope by the 2010s that everything was a weird mashup (a LARP called Slash had PCs from like 12 different canons).
But I totally get the logistical issues like costumes for single events, or getting enough players.
My personal compromise for fantasy is larps with thematic camps (Warhammer, Orcs, Elves, High Medieval, Vikings,...). Large consistent groups are impressive.
#StarWars#TheHighRepublic is great because it fills a spot hitherto untouched in the world but it's also incredibly frustrating for me to read anything about the #nihil because I fundamentally do not believe they'd be able to pull of half of the stuff they do in these books and comics
I wish Justin of starwarsfonts was here on the fediverse, because I have a question!!
Any idea what the font used in the text graphics is here? It’s driving my wife crazy; she thinks it might be Albertus Nova, but we aren’t sure—and something just looks… wrong with the text.

La puissance de l'ombre s'installe
Non, ne résiste pas, ne lutte pas
Ne te détourne pas de la main tendue vers toi

Back in stock and a good discount meant I couldn't say no this time. The #ewok with the stormtrooper helmet drums on the sleeve sealed it. And because the ewok in the AT-ST on the back is to the side and further down, you can still see them when I'm wearing it. #StarWars#ewoks#ReturnOfTheJedi#StarTrader#Disneyland
