I think of Mordavia as low fantasy rather than high fantasy. I’m not sure what other poeple use low/high to differentiate between them but Mordavia is a blood and mud type of game where good doesn’t always triumph over evil. I think of that as “low” whereas I’d consider a game where beautiful tanned heroes heroicly slew overwhelming hoards of evil minions to be “high”…
I used to prefer fantasy to historical. Then I read some history books and realized that it’s true what they say. “Reality IS stranger than fiction!”
The advantage of doing historical games is there are books which show clothing, armour, weapons etc that people can research. They can strive for a level of excellence that cannot be measured in a fantasy setting.
The disadvantage is the temptation to try to convince everyone else they must similarly strive towards this level of excellence…

I think you have right and I have wrong, but then would your experience tell me more that your larps in New Zeeland are really interesting to know more about =)
So can’t you email me some links about other larps and pictures from New Zeelands-larper?
friendly regards
