I was almost dead in the woods when you guys charged right over the downed dawn including maxamillian and three nobles, you pushing the husks back, you saved shit loads of dawnish folk, thank you
Love these larp videos
NGL this series does make me want to get into LARP...
Never thought 3 guys talking about role playing in a field would make me want to go and do something so much, this stuff sounds so fun, could really see myself doing this in the future, good stuff
Tis a great laugh and lots of folks from the channel have met up and founded groups together!
Mark, next time just get some fake grass and some minis. Instant drone footage recreation! Seriously though, I love these videos. One day I'll give LARP a go!
This is actually such a good idea
Next recap: "So ehh, yeah... We cut all the priests down... Good times."
ThaBadayuss We used to have some priests here but I guess you could say they were excommunicated.
At larp it can be so easy to get wrapped up in your own narrative, being the protagonist of your own story - i love these recaps because it reminds me just how big the game is, but some of the people who are main characters in my story (Boarick, Vito etc) are also in yours, it's like chapters in a book that are all from different points of view but with tons of overlap with characters passing in and out. It makes it seem even more like an epic like Game Of Thrones.
Keep up the good work lads, see you at e1!
You guys are great, seriously love RPing and sharing Anvil with ya!
Honestly Mark, given that the winter break between events is so long, I'm kinda glad to get this last video roughly in the middle of it. Can't wait to see more!
Does seem to be a nice side effect of it all!
I've wanted to do Larp so much now from these videos
That priest intrigue sounds like literally the fucking greatest- smith just formed philosophy from a fictional spiritual path and had some reasonably analytical comments displayed- I SMELL A DOCTRINE SPREAD IN SECRET TO COMMENT ON THE NATURE OF THE PRIESTHOOD
Sorry I mean philosophical critique not philosophy
Was a pleasure to come sing and drink with you guys! 10/10 would get drunk with again.
As someone who is completely new to the LARP world, I LOVE listening to you guys tell stories of your characters, what happened at the events, and all this fun stuff. I never knew about LARP until the first video on the channel and I loved the idea and something about it really seemed magical. I always look forward to these videos Mark, Trott and Smith! Can't wait to see where your stories go next.
These are amazing, it makes me want to LARP even more than I did before
I watch all the way through as every moment is amazing to hear about
So, Smiffy might cause a church coup, Mark may or may not be involved in a plot that endangers the entire world and might end up saving it, and Trott...well, he's just Grim (and in danger of being executed for herecy) :P XD
Great way to start the New Year.
Woohoo LARP video! I'm so happy this is uploaded!
I wish the larp in my area was as in-depth and well organized as Empire. Just listening to these guys talk about it makes me want to get a ticket half way across the world just to see it with my own eyes.
Dat drone footage tho
Very amusing video always great to hear a lot of enthusiasm for the hobby and the shared events at games! Our team "The Summer Lion Eleonaris" was the side that ultimately won the tournament but you certainly brought a lot of flair and color to the proceedings and it was a pleasure to fight you. Funnily enough the outrageous magical weapon you got hit by and paralyzed was actually prepped and meant to be used on the other Dawnish team that you reckoned we were cooperating with but they got rolled by the marcher/rhiannos side first so it seemed only right that you inherit the damage :)
Thanks also for the kind words about the Glory Square and set dressing in Dawn - much appreciated!
Im actually glad that you left it this long to upload this because id rather a two 3 month gap with a vid in the mid then a 6 month wait with no vid ☺
In terms of the video being late and in terms of future LARP video's as a fan (and I could only hope others also agree) That listening to your stories and experiences you have had with it is gold! I'm grateful for you lads sharing them with me, to begin with so don't stress by any means of the timing of getting the video's out etc. The fact we have this at all is awesome to me for someone who has never been able to experience LARP
I haven't Larped for 27 years so I love these recaps. Reminds me of everything I loved about it and all the work that goes into an event by organisers.
I absolutely love this window into the world of Empire LARP from your perspectives, especially the table conversation between the three of you. I think the stories and experiences you each have are amazing!
I'd love to join this LARP but I'm about halfway around the world so it'll be very expensive...
But I'm already thinking of playing like a mad, senile guy who makes potions
I miss this series.
This video has made my day, it’s so nice to re-immerse myself and reminisce on what happened last event. Thanks for your hard work, Mark.
These recaps are amazing boys, thanks so much and happy new year!
These are so much fun to listen too. I cant imagine how much fun or how awesome some of those moments must have been. And i love hearing how these intertwine, and how to events in the game effect you guys and everyone else. I totally want to do thid sometime!
The team the Academy chose was also multi-national, but your lot were definitely the kids favourite team when we got back from watching and talked through it.
Yesss! Been waiting for this! Happy New Year Mark! Can't wait to see all the great videos to come this year! ❤
Starting 2018 off right with LARP stories ! Fuck Yea !!!!
Love these special videos, cant wait for more content! Passion makes progress
I love watching these LARP videos and it always makes me excited to go try it, but we don't really have any of these large scale events in the US. At least i can experience it through your awesome stories, so please don't stop.
Minor correction: The Archmage of Autumn was a Cambion. He was killed because some nub of a player slit his throat on the battlefield thinking you had to execute everyone who went down so they wouldn't rise as a zombie.
He was executed by a person who simply didn't know any better and didn't know he wasn't dead yet.
I know because I examined the body myself for the magistrate ;)
lol
kek
I really can't get enough of these videos.
I love these storytelling videos. Sounds like insane fun. I also love seeing the images, the photographers are amazing!
Another amazing LARP video, I can't wait to hear the stories from the next event as soon as it comes out :D
These videos always make me consider getting a group of 10 or so friends to go fly to England at least once a year for Empire. A group of far traveling merchants/raiders!
Austin There's already a number of players who come from outside the UK!
i have really missed the LARP videos so glad they are back love hearing all the stories you guys tell
I love these videos and I wish I could be in this stuff with you guys! I live in the United States though so I can't :( But I love how the religion stuff sounds so historically accurate to how it was back in the medieval era. Those kind of details in this stuff!!! Keep up the great work Mark! I'm here for the long haul!!!
Been interested in LARP for a little while and am now really looking forward to started LARP at Empire this year, reconnected with an old friend from Uni who has pictured in a previous video and been put in touch with a new Dawnish House forming this year. So thank you for putting these videos out there, it really does help those of us sitting on the fence get inspired to jump into the hobby
I've really missed your stuff dude but I'm glad your inspiration and mental state are back where they need to be. Always remember to look after number one ❤
ahhhh I've missed the LARP videos. Keep up the great work Mark! c:
Love all vids on table top weekly but it’s something about about grim in a euphoric drug trip which really gets me :) keep up the great work mark and happy new year !!! x
Always really enjoy these videos. It's very nice to listen to in a podcast fashion.
Me and my friends are joining empire in the first event this year thanks to your videos, i've been wantin to go since your first vid and we've finally got a group together which will be ready for this winter event, so thanks very much!
It's nice to hear what actually happens in wintermark. If you get to be senator, cardinal, general or other time eating hat you never see anyone... Lots of meetings
Fantastic LARP recap video, I can't wait for the next one regardless how long it may take to happen.
Also, I believe I've said something similar on all your LARP recaps, but I still would love to give this a go one day. It sounds absolutely amazing.
I fucking love these LARP recap videos; I'm not anywhere near anything like Empire, and I'm sort of living vicariously through these. I can't wait for more! =D
Great to see all the people revived in the comments with the Larp videos, do check out Profound Decisions if you like the sound of it! (But don’t necessarily go with Wintermark (even though they are cool) because there are some badass nations out there).
Very much this. Wintermark is BIG already, find a cool nation you love and join them!
Was planning on going to Empire anyway after eight years of Curious Pastimes. Loving the recaps, and £15 off is an amazing bonus too, thank you!
Absolutely love these videos keep it up Mark
Absolutely loved the video - I don’t think the lack of drone footage was a problem for anyone :) anyways just wanted to say YOU MAKE ME WANT TO PLAY LARP!! Unfortunately I live abroad where it doesn’t happen, so these vids give me so much insight into something I want to do someday! Keep up the good work xx
I'm going to empire because of you guys. Thank you 💖💕⛺🌈🔥🧝🧚🧞🦄🍻🔮🎭🕯️⚔️🗡️🏹
My first Empire event this Thursday, and these videos got me into it, so hyped!
So weird to see photos of me in your videos! Yay. Big chuffing wizzard!
Thank you so much I love these videos
You are the most endearing man I have ever had the pleasure to listen to :)
Decided to watch this again as its 2 days till I leave for Empire which will be my 3rd event and the hype is real! I love hearing you guys talk about this, your passion is incredible. I got so much personal plot to do this event! I can't wait to hear what you guys got up too afterwards :)
Would love to give LARP a shot, you guys paint such a beautiful and fun picture of the experience
Going to my first ever larp event at empire in april and cant wait!!!
Omg! So happy that I finally can watch this~ been looking forward to this for several months now x3
Yeah sorry, as mentioned the various issues just delayed it a fair bit! Hopefully folks still enjoy it!
Tabletop Weekly I completly understand. And I absolutely love the video~ I'm currently watching it and I think it's bloody amazing. Prob going to go back and rewatch the earlier ones again before watching this a second time~ xD
Great video, as always :D Renewed my LARP-longing. That priest stuff sounds bonkers!
The autumn event was my first and it all was so overwhelming, I didn't get to do much RP because despite having read a lot of stuff beforehand, it felt like it was just not enough compared to everyone else!
But it was super fun, I came to see the tournament bit late and ended up completely on the wrong side of the square, so I was screaming for Varushka and Cathan Canae right in front of your group :'D
ltkaarina don't be afraid to chat to people, no matter how little you think you know. In many cases, we don't know much more and are just practiced bluffers. ;)
Regarding the length of the videos, I could happily watch you guys talk about this stuff for hours. I'm cognisant that time to record is probably limited, but Alex and Trott seem to enjoy talking about it almost as much as we enjoy hearing it. Perhaps for the next event recap, you might consider breaking it up into a few 30 minute episodes?
There's so much to comment on here, but I mostly want to say how much I love the tournament froth. In retrospect, it's one of my favourite ever LARP moments I've witnessed (including me breaking into my character whilst photographing and cheering you on) and the atmosphere was incredible. The cheering, the fighting, the thunder (and I can feel when a storm is coming as well, so I had that buzz), I honestly felt so absorbed in the world even though I was partially out of it by holding my camera. Excellent video as usual guys!
Everyone of these videos sounds so fun and makes me want to give LARP a go one day. I'm just too busy atm.
If only I could afford
1) getting together some decent looking LARP gear
2) getting to the UK from Sweden over an event weekend
If ONLY! Would be awesome to try this out! xD
I'm in the exact same position! I've been slowly trying to get my friends to find this stuff as cool as I do with varying degrees of success hehe... But I'm imagining an incredible road trip some day! Om plånboken tillåter förstås haha
@@Sjoholm13 One more here that might give this thing a try someday.
Finns några svenskar där dock, represent! Tror 4-5 stycken totalt eller så.
Love these larp vids- -hopefuly I'll experience a larp of my own one day.
Great video, really enjoyed it! Partially off the back of these videos you've done, I'm crewing at the One Day More player event in February and going to Anvil for the first time at e1 in April, gonna be playing an urizen character! Full of keen!
Brad Cohen Sick, I'll be crewing with you!
We are gonna ruin some people's days :D
hehe, I don't want to kill too many Urizen characters then turn up to e1 and be like 'Hi guys, I'm the one who killed all your mates at One Day More' 😂
nice video :)
Some how you need like more of these, I know the events are few and far between, but I really like these, and think these are some of the best videos you put out.
Ever consider a podcast styled discussion of gaming with some of your friends? While I know you do D&D streams some times the background talk is just as fun, ( reliving the experiences etc )
Cheers Mark,
Happy new Year :)
The backdrop and the colored lights look way better now. Good job yogs
Laaaaaaarp! Glad to see another vid of Ashenhall :D
Glad you guys had fun on your player battle, I was monstering against you and had Trott shatter my polearm. I had to resort to walking at you guys trying to claw you with my hands! I went down pretty quick at that point :P
Man everytime I watch these LARP videos it makes me want to take part in Empire!
Don't think you are gonna see this Mark but I just wanted to thank you.
After the first one of these videos you make about Empire, I commented on the video Lisa made to explain to new players to Empire and recieved a response. It was very nice and it invigorated my interests in LARPs here in Sweden as I can't attend Empire specifically.
So thank you a whole lot for all of this! ^^
Consider it seen! :)
*Internal screaming* I'm litterly in the video twice. Haha can't wait for the next event guys I will gain the courage to talk to you this time.
I remember walking past Sentinel's Gate on Saturday wondering if a night mission was on and seeing a bunch of people come falling out the gate. My curiosity has now been fulfilled!
I've never played in a larp. But every time I see these video's. It makes me want to join one.
Yeah, finally. But it was worth the wait. Nice to finally learn the story about Sigvald lying around on the battlefield, while we (husks) just marched by. I really though for a long time you used unstoppable and then started playing dead, you were f..ing far away from everything.
"Happy new year" from the german guy with the gifts (d&d wagon, 3d die) on sunday. Hope I can make it again next summer event.
You guys should nail up your 99 theses outside the priest assembly
Only 16 days til E1!!! Can't stop watching the vids as it's getting me so hyped!!! Ps RIP freeborn :'(
If rewatching and want to skip the starting bit go 3:57
This is an excellent start to 2018, see you all in 1hour 18mins!
Yes! Another LARP video!
Amazing drone footage mark jk I love these videos can you do a how to get started in empire video plz
Profound Decisions needs to start an Empire group in the US
Something that breaks my heart is that LARP isn't really a thing here. Who knows, maybe one day I'll move to England and get to partake in the fun.
I can't imagine how hard it has to be to not fangirl out infront of you guys at an event like that.
Greetings from the Stormcrows!
I am a medieval reenactor and a roleplayer, yet for some reason LARP was something that never really gelled for me. I monstered at a few events with some friends, yet hobby wise it was just something I never felt like I could invest in. But still these videos are enjoyable and Empire does sound like LARP done right as opposed to the events I volunteered at six years ago.
Alexander Clark I'm a reenactor too, enjoy Empire 'cause the rules are pretty simple and you can usually hardskill your way past even much older characters 'cause the rules have minimal bullshit. Come join Skirmish Crew, we get the best fights!
The boat idea sounds brilliant. I had a weekend 'camp' on a boat once, and that was probably one of the best thing's I've ever done.
Hearing about Maximillian the Armless was a real laugh. Fuck me, he sounds like a real lad.
And the Dawn guys..... Pay to winners.
Also, what? Grim on a drug trip? YES!
Bummer haha wanted to hear about Bloom and Odelia's drunken malarchy on the battlefield ;) haha good one guys x
Every time I watch one of these videos LARPing at Empire seems like a more and more fun thing to try if I ever find myself in England with the right weekend to kill.
You got a Matt Colville going on with your hair there man, looking gooooooood :D
Good pic of me playing a husk In there! love the videos shame about the drone footage though.
I'm loving this - hoping to finally give it a go next event! Also, as an outsider, I find myself wondering - do you think The Way is heading for something resembling the Reformation? With all the suspicions about infallibility and Church/State shenanigans, it does sound like it!
When i go to Empire with some family and maybe friends, my curiosity is going to destroy me as i will be in a separate nation to others.
Words. Best bids by far
It's insane how in Empire you guys are reliving & reenacting 1000 years of religious human history pre 1798. In 1798, Napoleon single handedly destroyed the most powerful terrorist organization on earth, the Vatican, and put Pope Pious VI in the darkest dungeon Bonaparte could find. This most epic & heroic feat is the reason the freedom of consciousness exist in the UK & US today.
