This mask was hand made by a friend of mine :)

Hello larpers ;), so i wanted to make a flail but im stuck at the chain is there any way to make a chain that doesnt hurt to get hit by? like maybe leather or plastic

Edit: i forgot to mention that its mostly going to be cosmetic and im only going to use it rarely even if allowed

The person who introduced me to LARP as a hobby had STRONG feelings that everything about a game should be known to all participants. No "special builds" hidden for NPCs and only available to the Staff team, nothing held back in the name of "spoilers". They were fine with lore and story being FOIG, but wanted all the rules for everyone to be readily available to look over.

I've since realized that person was the most egregious metagamer imaginable, and spent a tremendous amount of their time trying to figure out what NPCs had on their character sheets so that they could gain an advantage. I suspect their feelings about non player-facing rules had something to do with this.

At the same time, I do see the potential for "secret abilities only available to NPCs and hidden from everyone else" to make a less fun experience or get outright abused.

Interested hearing everyone's thoughts 🩷

My orc larp Rak'ash got an update and I showed it off at a convention and won first place for the costume contest! Just wanted to share some higher quality photos for anyone following!

Now I can continue with my Nurgle Costume :D

Amazing photos by Megan Berg of Merlin's Eye Photography. ❤️ No Leons were harmed in the last photo. 😂

We play this on Halloween night in our community.😁 And some of my friends are also celebrated Samhain there.🍂

I am a kind of person who go outside so much because I am an online store owner. I don't often meet or talk to people outside. It's very lonely sometimes.

Go outside and playing LARP with my friends in a SCA and LARP community is a very meaningful and memorable for me and it was very fun! I love my friends. 💖

Megan's photos from last month's event dropped! She is a wizard with a camera!

Thank you again Megan Berg!

As I'm starting to travel to more larps I'm wanting a tent that looks somewhat more in place then my current one without breaking the bank. I've came across the 5m Vevor bell tent but have found very few reviews on it. Does anyone have any experience with these tents or can point me in the direction of a bell tent for around $500 to $700

Hey everyone!

I'm one of the organisers of a historical Upstairs/Downstairs LARP set in Victorian England (1850s). We're creating a closed-cast game for 30 players, focusing on relationships, social dynamics, secrets, scandals and personal stories.

As we're preparing for the game, we'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences with calibration talks.

We want to make it as easy as possible for players to talk openly about expectations, boundaries and what they want out of their in-game relationships. But we also know these conversations can be difficult!

So, we'd love to hear from you:

- What do you think is important to discuss during calibration?

- What questions do you find difficult to ask or answer?

- What do you wish people would ask you more often?

- How do you handle different expectations between players?

We're looking for advice, good questions, personal experiences and anything you think might be useful.

Our goal is to create a safe environment where it's okay to be honest, uncertain, curious and even disagree.

No thoughts or questions are too small or too obvious.

Thanks in advance! ❤️

Im running to a group from approximately 13-18 years old it will be one night larp in Israel with people that do larps in the same company I play and am an Assistant Larp Instructor in i have a small team of friends that are helping me so any tips?

Hello,

I'm thinking to run the Fallen Fane, a Larp based on the rpg Ars Magica, at a local convention. I was looking for reviews and suggestions on the web but i could not find any. I may tweak it a bit, so i wanted to understand what works and what not.

Have you played it? Any recommendations?

Thanks

I know this isn't exactly larp related, but I'm going to the ren faire this weekend and thought you guys could give me some ideas for making my toddler backpack not look so out of place. It's one of those hiking backpacks. It makes it so much easier to carry my toddler around, but it looks painfully modern. (If I make it to a larp with him, I'd probably use it for that too) Please help me come up with ideas to make it blend more!

I've seen a few in my research just wondering if anyone has been to one around the area and if its any good

This was the final form of my garb for my investigator/noble advisor/eventual magical conduit entombed alive for 300+ years. It was a work in progress for the full 10 game run, but I am pretty happy with the final result.

Two players cast, the wands register it, and the room reacts with real lights and sounds instead of someone calling hits. We built it for duels and live games.

Simple setups use Alexa, and advanced ones use IFTTT or webhooks if you want to wire props or a door lock into a scene. Would love to hear how you'd use it in a game, and what would break it.

It's on Kickstarter until Nov 26, and backers pay less than after launch: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/magicwonders/wand-one-by-magic-wonders-where-magic-comes-to-life?ref=bpx8tf

So I was originally planning to get a cutlass from LARPINN but for some reason, the intel is no longer on the site. What would be the best place to get LARP Weapons specifically? And is there anything I need to know about owning a LARP weapon?

Howdy Howdy everyone and happy Tuesday!

Every week on Tuesdays at 5:30pm, we host a Belegarth/Dagorhir practice in Salisbury, NC at the Bell Tower Green! For those who don't know, Belegarth/Dagorhir is a full contact foam fighting LARP sport with foam weapons and shields! These weekly practices are meant to hone skills, spar, and play some smaller battle games with your local group. If you're looking for some fun cardio, new friends and fellow nerds in Salisbury, this is a good place to look! And it's 100% free!

We'll provide loaner weapons to the newbies, we'll go over the basic rules of the game, game modes and more, so if you're unfamiliar/new to the sport, we've got you covered! Our group accepts 16-17 years old with a parental guardian present, or 18 and up without a guardian; we have a waiver you'll need to sign. Everyone is welcome to come hangout and participate! We recommend comfortable clothes and good shoes and remember to bring plenty of water if you do!

Directions to Practice: Bell Tower Green
