Krystalivm: Horrors of War

6-9.03.2025, Toruń, Poland

the larp is confirmed!

We are at war, and war is an ugly and bloody affair...

But freedom is not won by shaking hands and diplomacy - It is won by hard decisions, blood and sacrifices of those willing to make them. I don’t expect all of you to survive. But we are not here to secure our own survival. We are here to build a future worth surviving for. The tyranny of the Iron Tzar has lasted for far too long!


If you are a part of Project Firestarter, be prepared for surprises. The second chapter brings some more twists and challenges to your character’s journey. If you want to join Project Firestarter, we have prepared a path that will let you jump straight into action.


Get even more power to steer your personal story and the course of war. No matter will you run the field missions, research, implement Krystalivm-based technological advancements or make strategic decisions that will influence the whole continent.


Krystalivm addresses dark, dystopian themes and asks questions about civilization and humanity. The world of our own making provides us with the creative freedom to set its foundations, making them easy to navigate, interesting to explore, and existing to be influenced by players.

Krystalivm can be played as standalone but is planned as a complete trilogy. The characters are meant to influence the game world, experience change, growth, and evolution as the story unfolds.
A story about war and revolution exposes players to difficult themes, and moral decisions, rarely a black-and-white. Every action in the game has consequences and many of those are unforeseeable — but they have to be made.
The Krystalivm world is vast and alive and, as in real life, some outcomes will be beyond a character’s reach. Decisions will be made with or without them. And remember, choosing not to act is an act in itself.
A blockbuster story full of surprises. We want the story to not only have exciting twists and turns but also to surprise and wow you with its production value, practical design, and approach to the game environment.
