#degenesislarp

Happy new year 2595, everyone - Team Ratatösk is giving their LARP debut in the end of January, and three or four Hellvetics are going. That means it’s crafting time!

Lore dictates that every Hellvetic has a Trailblazer. I, Jünger, did not really need one when I was playing the auxiliary soldier Staub (†), and I did not know if her successor would be enough fun to get one. Turns out, playing Jünger is a lot of fun; so I got me a NERF Rapidstrike and gave it a case mod. It doesn’t need to fire in game, but it will need sound, which is the project I was waiting for to get into electronics. So Jünger will be fumbling forward off-game and keep you posted eventually.

The German DEGENESIS LARP community relies on small events organized by players for players. That made it resilient when the pandemic brought everything to a halt in 2020. It was possible to resume playing as soon as 2021 when everybody had gotten their vaccines, since DEGENESIS conventions in Germany have always been small. And this is why a lot has happend since the last post. First, Winter who initated this blog handed it over to members of the I 01, while her character left the section together with Private Zelkovic following the (in game) death of Corporal DeLys and the execution of a comrade. (You might still know them from older posts.) We other Hellvetics will keep post-apo scifi military content coming. The German Degenesis community is renewing itself, there are new players, some of whom choose to play Hellvetics, and there are a couple of events sheduled for 2023. KOBOLDfoto has been accompanying us, so there are and will be great photos from the post-apocalypse.

The following images were made at Bunkernest 2 in September 2022.

One of the things that did not change is the section’s banner.

Contamination and the hazard from spore infested air are hallmarks of the world of DEGENESIS.
