A larper born in Gdańsk 1984, larping since 2001.

Engaged in organizing larps for 17 years, specializing in event production and experience design. He is proud to have been involved in projects like 4th of July Larp, Convention of Thorns, BlackBox3City, The Witcher School and Larpowe Laury.

Jakub cooperated with more than a couple larp-related groups across his many years larping, but the most notable and impactful two are Stymularpy with Ida Pawłowicz and Pod Owczarkami with Meg Pomorska.

Outside of larps Jakub remains in a senior leadership role for over 5 years now and focuses on developing people and introducing operational excellence. He honed his professional skills in marketing and business development working as a sales executive in corporate structures and dynamic startup environments. Engaged and analytical, he utilizes his education in management and psychology to build effective and harmonious teams that drive whole companies.

Although many of his career successes are measured monetarily, he is most proud of his direct impact on the development of professional paths of over 50 people. Striving for equitable work environments and sustainable organizations he emphasizes business ethics as the foundation of a healthy company.

A people-person by nature, a culture expert by education, a narrative designer and communication specialist by profession, and a larper by passion.

Larp was his love at first sight, introduced to him by university friends from Grimuar Fantasy Club. He adored intricate stories, intense emotions, and compelling characters. He ended up defending his master's thesis on larp and teaching it at a seminar in Media Production Studies at his alma mater.

Even since then, larp has remained close to his heart and more than a pastime. He played over 240, ran over 140, and (co)created almost 40. He conducted workshops, wrote articles, edited publications, facilitated the larp program at Falkon Festival and Kola Conference 2017, was part of the Witcher School scenario team, and gave feedback as a judge of larp contests.

Being a passionate propagator of larp, he co-created the first larp training course in Poland - LubLarp, with Jakub Barański. It became a thriving community and a hub for lots of projects. He did a TED talk on larps as a powerful tool for education and personal growth, and recently with Nausika Foundation, he was working on Portal 10 and Larp Alchemy training.

His career path made him a jack of all trades. He started with audience development at Juliusz Osterwa Theatre in Lublin. Then became the head of the marketing department in Workshops of Culture, working for four flagship international festivals in Lublin. Since 2017, as a freelancer, he has taken part in dozens of projects in narrative design, content marketing, social media, public relations, graphic design, and text editing. Meanwhile, doing hobby projects and voluntary work in larp.

Born and raised in the city of freedom – Gdańsk. From an early age she has always liked knowing anything about everything – and that hasn’t changed. Her superpower is nitpicking and finding ways to improve.

Most of her skills concerning teamwork comes from scouting thanks to which she developed – and practiced – interest in journalism and PR. Scouting showed her the role of effective communication in event management (and how important it is to always have a pocket knife and a band-aid on you). Thanks to that, her first “real” job experience was editing the news on the website, working in events industry (city games and recreation for children and youth). These experiences guided her towards education and occupation performed the longest – speech-language pathologist. Working with children with developmental delay showed her how much depends on if we can understand each other, how important is adapting ways of communication to the needs of the recipient, and lastly how valuable having a trusted and competent team is.

She first came in contact with larps through BlackBox3City in 2015 and quickly became engaged when it turned out that larps do not only let you feel a wide variety of emotions and experiences, but also give the opportunity to create such experiences for others.

In 2017 together with Jakub Krassowski, she went to BattleQuest to help with running the inn and that’s how Pod Owczarkami was started – semi-professional larp catering, first initiative of this kind in Poland. With a clear mission for the food at larps to be good, inclusive and immersive – they created a step-by-step guide helping design catering aspect of the events inside and out. They have also led such workshops during the Konferencja Larpowa twice.

Meg regularly collaborates with Stymularpy which allows her to use her strive for optimization, ensuring comfort, safety, and wellbeing, as well as fondness for multi-sensory experiences outside the kitchen.

She played her first larp in 2014 and has played over 150 characters since then. She likes emotional stories that stay in memory for a long time. She pursues her interest in larps not only as a player. As part of the LubLarp group, she helped organize subsequent editions of the Lublin LARP festival. While working on summer camps inspired by the world of Harry Potter, she coordinated a story camp during which the youth participants larped for two weeks.

She professionally analyzes and optimizes online advertising campaigns for brands such as BMW, Philips, and Otodom. Thanks to his experience in video production, he supports LarpVenture in preparing such materials.

He began his journey with LARPs in 2004 at Orkon – the oldest LARP convention in Poland. Since then, he has been continuously developing his passion. Since 2012, he has been involved with Wioska Fantasy, the oldest LARP area in Europe. At first, he supported the expansion of Wioska and co-created LARPs and other events, and since 2016 he has been the co-owner of this unique place. It was there that he learned that LARPs are not just about scripts and costumes, but entire worlds that must be built – with attention to every detail.

He started co-organizing LARPs with a series of winter games set in the Game of Thrones universe at Wioska Fantasy. The international LARP HØST also took place there, where he was one of the main organizers. His portfolio also includes Drachenfest – the second-largest LARP in the world, where together with the whole team he has been responsible for set design, construction, and logistical support for over 10 years. In recent years, he has also created set designs for the Frostpunk LARP. He knows how to immerse players in a story and blur the line between fiction and reality, down to the smallest detail.

His skills have long extended beyond the LARPs. He has worked with Tentorium / RoboMadeProps, creating props and set designs for major international film productions. His portfolio includes, among others, set elements prepared for the film “How to Train Your Dragon”, as well as props he personally crafted for “The Northman”. In Poland, he co-created props and special effects for the third season of the Netflix series “1670”. His talent has also been recognized by cultural institutions. As part of the “Costumes of Authority / Dress to Impress” project, he crafted reconstructions of early medieval regalia, which were exhibited in prestigious museums such as the Louvre and the Bode Museum. He tries to combine craftsmanship with artistic vision, which makes his projects stand out for their authenticity and attention to atmosphere. He always gives his best and knows how to turn imagination into reality.

Julia has been involved in larps since 2011, but began creating her own larps in 2018. Since then, she has written her own games and coordinated or supported the production of others, often taking on roles such as logistician, storyteller, or team coordinator. Growing up in a geek family in Silesia, she developed an early interest in board games, RPGs, video games, and films. Her academic background in film and television production supports her practical approach to organizing larps in a more functional way and immersive experiences for players.

Julia is especially drawn to the way larps can engage players senses to deepen immersion and emotional depth that larps can offer players. As a player she absolutely adores dystopian themes on larps, but recently she is more seen in the role of an organizer rather than a player.

A graduate of cultural studies (University of Wrocław) and religious studies (Jagiellonian University), she is a narrative designer and former QA in the games industry, and a passionate LARPer and Game Master.

She stumbled upon LARPs almost 20 years ago by accident, and they quickly became one of the most essential passions in her life. Since 2017, she has co-founded the scriptwriting team of the largest post-apocalyptic LARP in Europe – OldTown. For over a decade, she also developed her interests in historical reenactment groups from the 9th to 11th centuries, and over time, she has become increasingly involved with RPGs and creating her own stories. She definitely prefers to be on the other side of the curtain – as an NPC or scenario writer – rather than as a player.

Her career path led her to the game development industry. She worked as a QA on Microsoft projects and then at CD Projekt Red, where she was part of the Cyberpunk 2077 team from patch 1.5 and the Phantom Liberty expansion. Currently, she focuses on writing LARP scenarios – both for the gaming community and commercial events – and leading RPG sessions.

She creates narratives that demand not only words but also emotion and the full engagement of participants. She can transport people to another world – whether at the table or running through the forest with a fake grenade.

In her free time, she is a fan of fantasy and science fiction, a fan of the Star Wars and The Expanse universes. In her free time, she paints, crochets, and celebrates good food, convinced that she will always be a hobbit at heart.

Malwina is an experienced business services specialist who has been running her own company as a Virtual Assistant for 4 years. Thanks to remote work, she has lived in different parts of Europe for two years, which allows her to explore her passion for traveling.

At LarpVenture, she is a key figure in financial and HR management. She is responsible for invoicing, payments, issuing sales invoices and preparing contracts and HR documentation.

Outside of work, she relaxes on long walks, with a book or cooking. Her love for two cats adds joy to her life. Her experience in historical reconstruction from the 5th to 9th centuries helps her understand the historical and cultural contexts that are important in LarpVenture.
