I was the Captain of space station Hestia Delta One in a larp at @voidspacezine.bsky.social Live in 2025, and my only ambition was to send someone to the brig. No one went to the brig.

Can confirm that every word that emanates from the Void is 100% hand spun Never been good at playing the SEO game, and now - with AI text generation optimised for AI algorithms - it'll only get harder Better leave the robots to talk to each other and keep doing what we do best Big Void Love 🖤
Adrian Hon@adrianhon.bsky.social · last mo.There are plenty of people doing fantastic writing about the immersive field, none of whom I have ever suspected of using AI writing tools – the No Proscenium crew, Voidspace, Nick Fortugno, Chloe Mashiter, everyone in Nordic larp, etc etc. Deeply depressing to see AI junk promoted above them.
Just thinking back over Voidspace Live...what a great weekend! Particularly enjoyed the bonsai sized Cave by Ada Null @worldenddisk.com , the quite surreal You Are Pagliacci: Sad Clown Simulator by the dazzling John Robertson, and The Map And The Echo by Seth Kriebl. @voidspacezine.bsky.social

Neil Willcox, World-saving Witch Detective@neilwillcox.bsky.social · 2mo agoI spent last weekend at Voidspace Live @voidspacezine.bsky.social and I have a cold and am miserable and bored so I'm going to make that everyone's problem, starting with answering the question, What Is Voidspace Live?
Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Doctor says, 'Treatment is simple. Voidspace Live @voidspacezine.bsky.social is on this weekend. Go and see hilarious new show from @robbotron.bsky.social You Are Pagliacci: Sad Clown Simulator.'

Spring is here, and we've been busy scrubbing the harder to reach nooks and crannies of the Voiddspace We've spruced up our website, including adding a brand new, shiny (and VERY hard to install) events page. We've even given Bear Creek Corner a proper home Take a peek: voidspacezine.com
