Added some info on blockbuster larps
A term to describe a specific type of larp that is characterized by high production values, spectacular locations, a high international reach (and often paired with some mainstream media attention), not seldomly in already established non-larp fandoms. Often associated with high ticket costs and getting costumes (full or in part) provided by the organizer. The term was first used to describe the larps [[The Monitor Celestra]] and [[College of Wizardry]].
