Together with Uland Grawe from the project The CrunchFluff, and Mirco Sadrinna from the YouTube channel SteamTinkerer, we will be hosting an evening dedicated to imaginary worlds and real encounters in role-playing games on April 23 starting at 7 p.m., we will host an evening titled More Than a Game exploring imaginary worlds and real encounters in role-playing games. Uland will discuss the creation process of “The CrunchFluff” magazine, a role-playing magazine first realized in 2025 through crowdfunding, which on the one hand traces the “good old” RPG fanzine culture in (Northern) Germany while also broadening the perspective on new developments and formats in this wonderful hobby (more details in the interview at Teilzeithelden. Mirco will moderate the evening and, together with Uland and us (and hopefully you), explore exciting questions such as:

• Why have people spent decades immersing themselves in imaginary worlds? 
• What happens when people share their stories together? 
• How do scenes, communities, and memories come into being? 

The event is explicitly aimed not only at active role-players, but also at fantasy and science fiction readers, creative individuals, those interested in culture, and anyone who is simply curious.

We’re excited and warmly invite you to join us on this journey. As always, please register at veranstaltungen@senseofwonder.online

Many have asked about this, and after some consideration and a change of rooms here at Grindelallee 73, we can now officially announce that we are now also have a used book section here at Sense of Wonder.

Introducing: The Red Room

We will continue to expand our range of used books; if you want to put well-loved items from your collection back into circulation, please feel free to contact us!

On 10 December 2025, with the support of Weltlesebühne, we welcomed the wonderful Karen Nölle to Sense of Wonder. Karen Nölle has translated numerous works by Ursula K. Le Guinl into German, either for the first time or as new translations, and was recently awarded the Kurd Laßwitz Prize for her work. In conversation with Carcosa publisher Hannes Riffel, she spoke about her enduring enthusiasm for this wonderful author, the challenge of translating Le Guin's novels and stories into German in a way that preserves the magic of the originals, and, last but not least, her visit to Ursula K. Le Guin herself. Here are a few impressions from this delightful evening:

On the occasion of this year's #Polaris, #Steamtinkerer, role-playing game and Midgard influencer, stopped by Sense of Wonder for his first visit and did a nice interview with us: You can check it out here and subscribe to Steamtinkerer's YouTube channel.

After our launch, we are quickly creating more space for even more cool stuff, which also appeals to our new employee Grogu, who is now watching over our counter area.

The Force was strong on our opening day, just in time for this year's Grindelfest. Thanks to the fantastic cosplayers from #StarWarsDiner and many interested customers, we are hopefully embarking on the “Sense of Wonder” adventure.
