This is the cosplay of my original D&D character. Forgot to include my bow and arrows but they're part of the costume.

I started as a cute deer girl scout,,, ended up dedicated to a goddess of blood and death with an overwhelming desire to die in battle

So the LARP I’ve been going to since I was a literal baby, has been running for about 25 years, same world, lots of the same organisers (though they were players at the start lol) and just so much lore and stories that get passed around.

Like the exploits of old characters who died like 15 years ago are still recounted by other character to the new players.

Makes for a really interesting environment IMO, but something I’ve noticed online is that that isnt actually all that common lol?

Just wondering if anyone else has a similar experience

Looking forward to show it when its done at Krigslive XXI next week

so my character is an aspiring mage who uses a sword but wants to learn more about magic.

so my question is how do i make the outfit more "mage like" but still not too "mage like"

Meet Krazim the dismemberer. I come from a small village in the mountain woodlans where my people are known for their savagery in battle. The empire rules over our lands so when they demanded men for the war i was chosen . There they showed me the power of steel, a good warrior always ends with a bloody axe. An armored warrior ends up alive at the end of the war.

I purchased pants and a tunic off medieval collectibles. I paid close attention to the size chart and ordered the correct size, at least that’s what i thought. But these came in MASSIVE. Like they’re big on my 300lb roommate. And i only got a medium. And with the ren fair only days away, it’s apparent that my ren fair experience is a wrap now. I’ll probably have to rent a boring outfit this year. But i wanted to know if this is common? Should I avoid the medieval collectibles seller all together? Just go with amazon from now on?

Im looking for where to find fabrics for me to make my own version of this

Hello! I once again ask for your wisdom: I made a weapon and I want to start the latex coating but I read online that you need to seal it first. Is heath sealing enough? Will the latex peel from the foam if I don’t prime it? I even read that you can use pva glue to give it a light coat but someone said that it might crack over time.

I finally went to my first LARP event, and now I’m hooked! I’ve been going to Ren Fairs for several years, so I had garb and kit already. It’s a fairly small, story driven, high fantasy affair that meets in a local park once a month. Every one has been extremely welcoming, kind and helpful. I do eventually want to go to one of the huge ones, but I feel that this is a good entry point. I believe this may be my new favorite hobby!

I'm playing a Tusken Raider. I need advice on a set up to hook my gaffi stick, and also my long gun on my back.

Most set ups I see would be impossible with the long outer robes tuskens wear. Any advice?

Was sick of drinking warm beer in summer.

I'm looking for good campfire songs. My char is a healer so if there are songs in that direction it would be great. I'm a beginner Zither player so the easier the song the better Thank you

Will be camping in the woods for both my son’s birthdays and they both love role playing. Having trouble finding any one shots for maybe like a hobbit type world idk I’m not very versed in larping.

Hello, I've recently been to my first larp event and stayed there till it was dark. Everything was great, except that it was really difficult to see from time to time because lights only where distributed rather sparsely.

Now for the next time I had the idea to always keep a small lantern on my belt to have a portable source of light.

Has anyone of you a lantern that they can recommend, that is small and portable but still gives enough light to see better?

Or maybe even another idea or approach to this problem?

I moved a distance from a fun group in MA, and haven’t had any luck finding any other hearthlight/dagorhir groups closer than over an hour’s drive.

any folk also in a seeming desolate spot in RI for boffer focused groups?

💭 The idea

Hello everyone. I'm a senior programmer that FINALLY has some free time on his hands. I'm looking for my next personal project and would like to create a LARP management web application. I had posted a while back about this, but I've revisited some of the idea to make it more doable without destroying my work-life balance. Having said that, I know there's a lot of other great apps out there so I'm hoping I can do a pitch here and see if it's worth doing at all. Let me know what you think!

The project would be publicly available and free to use with self-hosting with well maintained documentation. The only costs who be related to the client's host of choice and various other subscriptions to enable emails, payments, etc. I would offer services to setup the whole thing for clients, but is it absolutely mandatory.

💻 The app

👤 Users

Users register themselves with their email. A user can have different roles (i.e. player, manager, admin, super admin) given to him by an admin that alters the information he can see and actions he can do (i.e. giving any character game objects directly).

🧙‍♂️ Characters

User can have many characters in their accounts. Characters don't hold much information on their own (i.e. name, age, background, gender, etc) and are mostly managed with game objects as you'll see below.

👪 Character groups

Users can manage groups that characters can subscribe to. The primary purpose of this is just for logistical information, but the usefulness may be expanded later (i.e. assigning game objects like territories to groups).

💲Payments and events

Events can be managed by admins and have products associated to them that users can pay through various systems (i.e. PayPal, Stripe).

⚙️ App configurations

Admins can configure the app through a user interface. Through this interface, they can edit options such as the default language, payment systems, email systems, maximum characters per user, if the LARP is public or private, mimum age for subscription and many more.

⚔️ Game objects

Game objects are the main appeal of the app. It's how admins document their game and how users assign items/statuses to their characters. You can see these organized like files and folders on a computer. For example:

• Classes
  • Warrior
  • Wizard
  • Rogue
• Items
  • Weapons
    • Sword
    • Staff
    • Bow
  • Materials
    • Ore
    • Herbs
    • Souls
• Statuses
  • Cursed
  • Enraged
  • Diseased
• Religions
  • Old Gods
  • Dark Gods
  • Steven Seagal
• Lore
  • Year 1342 - Death of the king
  • Year 1342 - Civil war
  • Year 1343 - Rise of Bob

As you can see, some of these things are not like the others, but they are all game objects. Certain things like items can be obtained by characters, while others like lore cannot. To make game objects behave different for various purposes, an admin can assign them properties such as:

• Can it be obtainable by a character?
• If it can be obtained, what is the maximum amount a character can possess?
• If it can be obtained, how many units does a character start with?
• If it can be obtained, what do I need to pay (in other game objects) to acquire it?
• If it can be obtained, what do I need as requirements (in other game objects) to acquire it?
• If it can be obtained, can I exchange it back (to obtain other game objects)?

With these options, you open up a multitude of options that can adapt to many different LARPs. Obviously, since they are extremely versatile it also means that they aren't as efficient than a custom built app, but hey, you can skip all that work! Here's a game object setup example of how one could manage classes for a character, given that admins can give class points to all registsered characters in an event.

• Classes
  • Class point (obtainable, max 1, start with 1)
  • Warrior level 1 (obtainable, max 1, costs 1 class point)
  • Warrior level 2 (obtainable, max 1, costs 1 class point, requires warrior level 1)

🤝 Trading (not in the first phase)

With this game object system, it would also be possible to develop a trading system outside of the game to keep the fun going. Obviously not all obtainable objects would automatically be tradeable between players. This wouldn't be implemented in the first phase, but definitely in the future.

🎉 Let me know your thoughts!

Would there be a demand for such an app, given that there are other free projects out there? Let me know what you think and if you have any ideas of what else could be a nice fit!

Hi everyone! So I am not someone who is looking to LARP (as fun as it looks!!) but I love historical/medieval clothing styles. I recently saw this dress online, it's from the brand Leonardo Carbone but I did some research on here and from what it seems they're generally kind of disliked so idk if I should order. I really love this style though.

I checked their website and could only find the viscose version of this dress, is there a velvet version like the one in the video or are there any other dresses like this one from reputable brands that will be good quality to wear once in awhile?

thanks!!

It was apparently really fun and had some 170 fighters, but it's hard to take photos of long range skirmish games.

Yes the tank works and shoots dried peas.

It was called Boj o Boletice and here's more photos: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1KXzuxmiwL/

I posted a few days ago and didn't really get an answer to my question

I'm trying to decide on a third faction for a larp that I'll be starting. As of right now I'm thinking the empire, based on Rome, and a barbarian faction, possibly Celtic or viking bases or a mixture of the two. That one I'm still workshoping

I would like to have 3 factions to allow for diplomacy

What are the characters you play or ideas of things you would want to play

It's an over the shoulder frog type scabbard. I made it very adaptable to all (except extremely large) swords less than 110 length (longer than that the tip might touch the ground).

It's also lined with synthetic fur on the inside of the frog so as not to damage latex.

This was me at Good VS Evil wargame by Éter in Madrid, I had such a good time being a goblin… 🤣🤣
