The Designers
A Day at Castle Krachfeld was designed by Alper Acik and Nazim Gizem Forta. Alper is the one with the red shirt and Gizem is wearing a hat, in the photograph. Long-time members of the Istanbul LARP community, we both had gamemastered LARPs before (but never together), and played in many LARPs. We call ourselves game designers instead of gamemasters because although we designed the game we were normal players once it started, we did not ‚master' anything.
