I decided to play a character who would “shift” from one persona to another, like in a theatre performance. It was a challenge for me \u2013 I thought about it, even rehearsed how it would work.
The idea was that some jerk of a wizard had cursed me, binding the soul of a cunning, rich trickster to a kind-hearted, modest merchant.
The plan was to entertain others with this dual-role acting by randomly switching between the two characters.
So how did it all go to hell in under 30 seconds?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not even ten minutes into the game \u2013 I hadn\u2019t even switched to the second character yet \u2013 I explained to another player that I was cursed. Lesson:<\/strong> Screw-up #2:<\/strong> I have no idea who killed me \u2013 but it didn\u2019t happen just once that night. Lesson:<\/strong> I don\u2019t remember the names of the events anymore, and frankly, who gives a damn. Screw-up #1:I decided to play a character who would “shift” from one persona to another, like in a theatre performance.

He introduced me to a wizard, played by Jo\u0161ko Fran\u010deski.
And the wizard removes the curse<\/em>!
Boom \u2013 I\u2019m \u201ccured\u201d! Hooray! Screw that.
I honestly didn\u2019t think there would be a high-level wizard around who could fix it.
After that, I was left standing there with no idea how to continue playing.
I wandered around, listened to others talk, and stuffed my face.
At our LARPs, there\u2019s always good food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/studiospektar.hr\/cnb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sra-718x1024.jpg\")

There\u2019s always some wizard ready to \u201chelp\u201d you, even if you never asked for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I decided to play a king \u2013 a mad one.
A king ruling over a tiny castle and a micro-kingdom of three hills.
The idea of a crazy king was, again, meant to entertain others.
But!
The people playing peasants (or serfs) didn\u2019t commit to their roles \u2013 because what kind of peasant would so easily dare to attack a king just because he insulted them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the deaths was especially shitty because I got completely soaked in beer.
Pro tip: don\u2019t try swordfighting with a mug of beer in your hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/studiospektar.hr\/cnb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/DSC03235.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re a mad king \u2013 don\u2019t be a mad king.
Everyone\u2019s gonna stab you, and you\u2019ll end up dripping in beer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
