Contingency plans and replaceability – Steve Deutsch

Most larpmakers have felt sometimes that larp production will be the death of them – usually because we are in practice irreplacable. In this talk, Steve shares a story of larpmaking literally coming close to killing them and what the experience taught them learned about resilient production.

Steve Deutsch is a German larpwright, facilitator, event manager, and event guide. Just recently, they were part of the team creating der Larp Conference in Germany. Steve is guilty of coauthoring one of Germany’s most complex and loathed Boffer Larp Rules Systems, but nowadays mostly run rules-light larps on sailing ships – as well as larp events helping companies explore their internal power dynamics, communication and unwritten rules.
