I'm quite surprised no one here posted about this. Oh don't worry it's not anything dangerous...?
So a question here since I'm back from a good maybe year or so, what's your opinion on LARP?
I discovered this by accident while scrolling on YouTube and found it intriguing.
For those who have never heard the term:
LARP stands for live action role play, similar to your standard rpgs, except with doing it in real life. (Some could say like playing pretend for grown-ups) I read a bunch of infromation online reguarding it, so it seems to be similar to a sport.
There also seems to be many different types of larp including hunger games, typical medieval settings, sci-fi, star wars, etc. And upon these different types typically they take place I'm a building or your average park, forest, or an area.
People would often costume up, role-play, and even camp out in these events. Sometimes battles even occur. Combat is relayed using latex weapons or boffer weapons. (Weapons are latexed and boffers are usually foam) This is for safety reasons.
It's rather hard to explain it, due to the facts I'm new to the concept as well. (Despite researching for roughly a month)
I recommend YouTube and searching about it.
Would you do LARP? Why or why not? Have any of you heard this term before today? Have any of you gone to one before? Anyone interested in trying it out?
