SIF Games, together with Gamestorm Berlin e.V. as the event organizer, had initially planned two runs of Springwater Colony in November and December 2025. After extending the signup period, however, we made the difficult decision to cancel both as we were barely short enough players for either run. As we are conscious that dropouts happen, we deemed it too great a risk to proceed and did not want to ask players to part with hard-earned money, make travel plans, and block their free time, only to need to cancel the larp closer to the planned date.

Nonetheless, we feel deeply that this is a special larp story presenting unique human experiences and important stories around disability, otherness, and stigmatism. Creating it has been something deeply personal and valuable for us as well and, in particular, it took comments from people in the community to help us realize that this is the first larp we in the team had encountered with a focus on disability. As part of a community with a great many disabled people, not to mention many disabilities within our team, this is a lesson we will be taking with us to other larps we create, always with the aim of increasing accessibility and telling stories for and from everyone.

Therefore, we will not say that Springwater Colony will never happen – simply that we are postponing it for now. If you're interested in playing it, please add your name to our mailing list or join our Discord and we will be delighted to see you at a future run.

Although there are currently no runs of Springwater Colony planned, we do intend to run this larp in the future! If you're interested, add your name to our mailing list or join our Discord server for updates on this and other larps.
