Commenting to creators with specific things that I like about their work
My first thought was “Wait, they made an M-Tron robot?” But no, this is Spyrius, which reuses the same color scheme with added blue elements.
The key reason why this failed is that it was prohibitively expensive to run. They had to maintain a cast of professional actors, and even minor hotel staff had to maintain story and character.
There’s a very small audience that’s willing to pay thousands of dollars for a Star Wars LARP, no matter how professionally it’s produced.
