    When you have two characters you want to play as but can't choose either one over the other and want to play both at the same time but the characters can't be combined.

    At around 3:20 the men chatting around the fire reminded me of a similar chat at my larp... it was my first time there. I didn’t understand any of the politics of the game much and they were talking about the politics of the world... just a funny thing I remember

      Dickie's Beer Reviews glasses are completely out of character, at least at the LARP I attended, since it could be a safety hazard if you could have them stolen.

    i live in south dakota and there might be one larp area near by. which is far and costs around $30 or more depending on the date. i hope some one could start one here in rapid because it is really boring and not much to do than living here.

    When you are interested in real Larping, you should check out Moritz Jendrals Photopage. It features some of the best LARP Events in Germany and the gallery is free to watch. moritz-jendral.de/larp-events/ This is the real thing.

    I think larping is really cool and fun. but imagine if you had larpers who actually knew what they were doing. it looks like they are just thwacking each other without technique. if most of them knew actual sword techniques and applied them to a battle(probably easier said than done) it would make it look a lot more professional and an overall better and more intense experience for most participants

    • @killecalle9044

    • @victuslarper1052
      @victuslarper1052 6 років тому

      I shouldn't have to learn a real martial art to play a game and participate in my hobby. The combat is set up so that almost anyone can participate and have the same fun. LARP is more about the role play, the social interactions between the characters than it is trying to emulate real combat. :)

    • @CMTechnica
      @CMTechnica 6 років тому

      Victus Larper relax, it's just an idea. it *would* feel nicer if people knew what they were doing, not flailing wildly with a weapon. I can't count how many times I've had to deal with killing another player using just a shield because they're flailing. it's satisfying when weapons connect with a hit, even for just a split second ;)

    • @victuslarper1052
      @victuslarper1052 6 років тому

      I apologize for my brash reaction. I agree, that less "fairy waving" would be nice. I would suggest that the more experienced LARPers step up and help in teaching better or some kind of technique. In fact it could make for great role play as well to help teach other characters rather than just players. :)

    • @franshepherd5830
      @franshepherd5830 6 років тому

      I've actually been to this LARP. What's fun is that there are a good number of players now that actually do know some form of real fighting technique. Really does make the game pretty intense but still fun.

    I loved it. A nice mix of interviews and in play footage. Excellent editing and everything. The garb of the characters was on point. I didn't see any of the tacky nike shoes etc that plague the reenactment/larping events. Claire's scale mail and plate with her elf ears were very cool.

  • @Jarjarrr
