Here is the Burning Castle 2025 Players Handbook. It includes more details on practical, play, and lore information.

Each player creates their own costume based on the character they are assigned. The setting is low technology and high magic, so lean more towards medieval fantasy than steampunk. 

• Elsmerian costumes will be colorful. This can mean all the colors of the rainbow, or a costume that is fully gold.

• Sipian costumes will be black, white, and grey. Small red accents are acceptable. 

We will not have a costume police, and if there are small ways in which you costume from this (for example some green mixed in for a Sipian moss character), that is fine. 

If you are feeling unsure about anything regarding your costume, you can reach out in our Discord server. 

You may find some inspiration on our Flickr account. 

No prior LARP experience or partipitation to our previous events is required. 

Burning Castle 2025 is designed to welcome both first-time players and veteran LARPers. You don’t need acting skills, crafting skills, or a deep knowledge of the setting—just a willingness to participate, collaborate, and stay in character.

Before the event, you’ll receive a bespoke character tailored to your preferences, along with guidance and workshops that help you step into the story. Everyone contributes in their own way, and there’s space for many play styles—from political intrigue to cozy storytelling.

There will be 3 payment tiers for the event:

• Standard Ticket: 290€

• Supporter Ticket: 330-400€

• Low Income Ticket: 215€

We will be collecting these tithes until October 6th! We will add the payment details for the transfer as soon as possible. Please include the name you signed up with and the Event name in your payment.

To keep prices affordable, we expect everyone to help co-create this event. Of course, everyone is only expected to give as much of their time and skills as they can and want to. Even a small contribution is greatly welcome.

We will be able to give refunds to those who cancel until October 13th, and partial refunds until October 27th. Past then it will no longer be possible, so please communicate on time if you know you will not be able to attend.

This is a Monstrous Immersive event, a group founded on the principle of inclusivity of neurodivergent, queer, and otherwise marginalized people. We strive to make this safe for people of different backgrounds and needs. 

All characters in this LARP will be using they/them pronouns. If you are referring to a player outside the game, make sure you know their correct pronouns and do not assume them—you are always welcome to ask.

Any kind of transphobia or other queerphobia, racism, ableism, classism, ageism, or other exclusionary behaviors will not be tolerated. Should another player show this kind of behavior towards you, you are invited to go to the Awareness team or the Event Committee to get support.

A LARP can be an overwhelming space, and if someone has been standing/walking for most of the day, they might need a break. If someone expresses a need to pause/leave a scene or change places, we ask you to respect this without forcing the other person to explain themselves.

You can expect us to help you ease into the world through workshops, to help calibrate play with you if you get stuck or lost and to provide a ‘soft spot’ which is quiet for if you might be overwhelmed. If you experience issues with another player or organizer at this event you can expect we will respect your feedback and collaborate with you to figure out a solution.

The Awareness team will be looking out for any out-of-character problems, such as mental health crisis or incidents between players. A room will be available to retreat to either alone or with a member of the Awareness team if you need it.
