(Cut and pasted from The Escapist Blog - theescapist.com/blog)

Conquest 2010, a LARP event in Brokeloh, Germany, drew over 7000
gamers from Europe, Japan, and the United States during its five-day
run from August 4th through the 8th.

The event was so big, that it gained quite a bit of media attention,
with a lot of fantastic photos:
