    As someone who really wants to get into larping but has never larped in their life, this was very helpful; thank you!

    LARP-ing is just videogames without electricity. I'd be down, but I'd so totally get kicked out for being that 'teabag' guy dressed as a Marvel hero. Not like the good ones either. I'm talking like, Party City, $40 Spiderbat onesie status.

      I'm just picturing a man in a Spiderman onesie with a viking helm and a battle axe yelling "Excelsior!" while charging. That'd be awesome. 😂

      LarpCraft I run Japan's only English LARP group. We have our own land too and I'm going to build our first building. I'm a little stuck on a design. I'd love to talk with someone about how they built your buildings.

    • @LarpCraft
      @LarpCraft  8 років тому +5

      The building in this setting are that of the 1800s and American Frontier styles. This is our western set actually where we'll be doing a lot more with our Wild West Larp larpcraft.com/Community/WildWest/. We do have a community dedicated to sharing how to build different structures. The medieval ones are here - larpcraft.com/Community/MedievalStructures/ so feel free to make a free player profile, ask questions, post in the forums about what you're thinking of doing and we'll help ya.

      LarpCraft I went to those links, but they look broken, or deleted maybe. I was curious to see what the cost of building those structures might run. Is the information still available?

    I really want to get into a fantasy LARP. Is there a character sheet template to fill out or something? I want to form a character but I am not quite sure all the things I need to list. I have never played DND nor do I know much about it so I am not even sure about all the different races you can choose from. Also the local LARPs don't seem to be the type of LARP I am looking for (the people wear regular clothes, meet in a public park, and just stand there hitting each other with boffers - I am looking for something more immersive) so I was thinking about starting my own. I just feel like I don't know enough yet to do that.

    • @LarpCraft
      @LarpCraft  8 років тому +7

      If you want to start your own chapter, you can do so if you are an adult. I'd suggest reading through the larpcraft.com/scrolls/First/ section until we have the complete guide done.

      MinxFox Check out my book on Kindle called "Creating LARP Characters: A mini guide to creating fun and well developed characters for role playing games." It's short, gives tips and advice based on my experience as a LARPer. It includes a character sheet. amzn.to/2ae4gsl

    Man, thanks for the intro, guys! I've never done LARP before, and I've never been sure what it was. For a long time I thought it was just a bunch of geeks (like me) beating each other senseless with foam swords. Then I heard "role-play" and thought it was something you had to be an actor or into acting or something. Then I heard people calling it a game, and just got even more confused. I've heard a few jokes about LARP and people who are into it, but it sounds really fun! I'm a writer, so I kind of like that you have to develop characters, their back stories, etc. I like that you try to think like your character, play off each other and all that. I'm seriously thinking about checking it out.
    PS: Here's a coin. By that orc a pint on me. :D

    • @LarpCraft

      Thank you for the coin! The Orc enjoyed the ale. See you in the games!

  • @dazeen9591

    I mean larping looks fun but I'm socially awkward and really bad at acting so I reckon I'll stick to the boffers.

    • @JStrange13
      @JStrange13 5 років тому +8

      Lol. You think you'll be the only socially awkward person at a LARP event? You should go, and have fun.

    • @LarpCraft
      @LarpCraft  5 років тому +5

      It's fun and easy, nobody expects you to be good at it right away.

      Bad acting, but fun larping. Practice practice practice... to be fair, Artenen says "let's film something" out of thin air as something else is being done so almost everything you see is done with zero practice or planning. Our intention is to host great games, the videos sometimes are just a side item.

    Very cool! Thank you for this video. I recently joined a LARP community in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. If you're ever up this way, let me know. We'll make you welcome!

      Make a free profile on larpcraft.com/, join all the chapters around you larpcraft.com/Community/categories/larpcraft-chapters.12/ and go to a local event. If there are no chapters in your area, consider starting one! LarpCraft is designed to bring people into Larp and progress with people as their love for the game continues to expand.

    • @LarpCraft
      @LarpCraft  8 років тому +4

      Amazing. Go to practices first before a game. Get to know some players, get your questions asked and get to know your game system. Then when your first game comes up, you'll be set!

      We designed games for families so there are out there. Best best is to contact the game hosts and ask.
