Larping isn't cringy, BAD LARPING is cringy, this is good Larp.
Cameron Raven than why is it cringey
These people aren't fuckin' around.
LARP the Medieval version of Airsoft FUCKIN DEAL WITH IT
You can have LARP in any setting, not just a pseudo-medieval one...
Thank you... this is what i always think when I'm on this very special convention!
I can see how this can be fun! Guys, try and be open minded. I mean, this is far better then just playing video games.
Floyd Keim III Thanks for being open minded. :) You're right, it's a whole lot of fun. One of the best things I've done in my life so far, it's pretty awesome and you get to meet a lot of great people.
Were do I sign up
They have LARP groups all around the place but over in europe is where they get very hardcore about it. I play at a local kingdom in southern texas. Try looking around for groups near you, they have several kingdoms all over the U.S. and europe that I know of and its not hard to get into it once you join up
I literally just found out where they where and when they meet and walked up and said "Hey, I wanna play"
TheCypher89 is there a way for disable to join larp
Thank you! We'll see what this years epic-empire event will bring on ;-)
How do the cannons work? Was it compressed air from a tank, or simply a foam projectile with a powder charge propelling it?
Child: DADDY!
Father: Yes, son?
Child: I WANNA BE A LARPER WHEN I GROW UP!!!!
***** child: DR.ROBOTNIK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
***** xD
Danke für die tollen Aufnahmen. Tolle Bilder und Perspektiven. Mir gefällt besonders, dass beide Seiten gefilmt wurden :) Danke für die tolle Schlacht :)
Gruß Hanno von Buchenstein
Keep it low, guys, keep it low, please...
@OhOk Yea:
Do you have some videos of your training? I'm very interested how you do this and how it should work with 500+ combatants... which armour do you use? SCA-standard? Or russian like layers of padded clothing, chainmail and plate?
Best LARP seige video I have ever seen.
anybody know where I can find the weapons that they're using? they all look to be made of some sort of foam that they cut to shape and put on a shaft but I can't find any like then online. did they make them?
Hi Shane,
here in europe you can get these weapons via the www from various producers... or in shops.
I think you're from the USA, maybe you can get some really fine weapons from Calimacil, they produce really good weapons. They are from Canada and maybe they sell their stuff in the USA.
Or you get yourself the materials and try it on your own. It is fun to build your own foam-latex-sword... and it is quite cheaper than buying one. But it won't last as long as one of the Calimacil-series ;-)
Never larped but this looks like so much fun
Hi Trent Collin, yes, the cannons and the hand-guns shoot foam-balls (balls for cats to play with ;-) so you have a true "effect" of the fire... the muskets just do a "bang" and the enemy can choose the reaction... if you see that a musket is fired at you, it's fair-play to act the effect... especially if the musket is fired from a near distance.
Sounds awesome~
Really good! Thank you.
This may be an old video but damn did that look fun. I do love to think that those Romans were like, "Erm, Centurion? How in Jupiter's name did we get here?" as they marched toward those later period pikemen :P
Well, the story behind that is some kind of time-travelling... the different time-periods send their best fighters (or not so good ones, too ;-)) in order to have a fight for dominance. There is one culture, inviting these fighters once a year, transforming them to their planet/place/whatever... some kind of stupid, but this is how you can explain the clash of the different periods.
At least this has been the background story 5 years ago ;-) They changed it in the meantime.
So epic!
One question how do you know when you've "died" when u cant feel nothing thru the "pillow suit" / armor
Thank you for changing your opinion ;-) LARP as i know it, especially at the EpicEmpires-Event, really is like being in a well produced medieval-fantasy-film...
That pike charge was painful. Only the front-line would lower their pikes, and if you watch the video, you can see why. The second line are essentially ensuring their line breaks at best, and stabbing their men in the arms and back at worst.
paranoidude If we'd perform every maneuver correctly, we'd own the battlefield... as we still "play" and not "reenact" we like to give the other players some chances and many great moments... believe me, we know how to maneuver on the field in high precission, so our formation of pole-weapons isn't easy to break...
I watched this and totally changed my Opinion of larpers! I'd be down for THIS type of larping, looked like soooooo much fun!
This looks more fun than going to Afghanistan for 7 months. Good vid.
i don't care how friggin nerdy this may look it also looks fun as hell , i gotta do this some day
this video touched me
Hallo ich bin neu hier mich interressiert mal: wenn diese Musketen abgefeuert werden, woran erkennt der Gegner das er getroffen wurde?? danke im voraus
This is called reenactment here ;-) So tell me, how do you simulate a fight with non-armoured combatants? Do they just get real injuries? ;-)
do the cannons and guns actually shoot anything out?
If I larped, I would be banana. Maybe with a machine gun or something like that, I haven't really worked out the details.
Well, you either see the hits or you feel them... even with padding and armour you feel the impact. And its about acting, so you can die whenever you've got the feeling that it's the right (and dramatic) moment ;-)
So I've heard :D but, personally, I love authentic history LARPs. That is on of the reasons why I have considered trying Epic Empires and others like it.
Lovely to see other enthusiastic people out there.
this is hilarious - i laughed from start to finish
Man this looks so cool I been trying to get in one!
Don't care if it's for "nerds" it's for people who want something different and quite frankly, this looks fun as heck!
OhOk Yea:
I've checked your channel, but there are no videos in it... So, please, can you give me the direct link to them or maybe change something in your channel, so we can see the videos? Thank you!
And now i'm waiting for your full film ;-)
This is acctually epic :) Would like to be in one myself.
You're right, when i do pen-and-paper-roleplay, i can have much more and much bigger and much brighter fantasy... no doubt about that! But I sit at the table, eat chips, drink beer... I only move my hand to throw the dice or to take a nip from my bottle. Here I have to move my whole body, I can feel the adrenaline pumping through my veins, i hear the sounds, i see the colours... it is of course more real than pen-and-paper. And totally different, so I like to do both!
I just found out about this LARP thing. And IT LOOKS SO FREEKING COOL. I wish I could play it too
Are those larpers actually getting stitches, or is it just some kind of special effect?
What are they using as ammo in the mortar and firearms? Awesome video!
Im seriously down to try this! any larp areas in California?
as i already mentioned in german: I know about that issue ;-) But as i filmed completely out of the game, the raw material is very tricky as it is filmed with just one camera and there was no way to repeat any shot ;-) Normally i wouldnt use the fade to black as much as i did here, but somehow i thought it would fit here... and chnaging this is really to much work for a non-profit video ;-)
But thank you very much for the advice... i'm always open minded for constructive thoughts!
wie lang sind dort die märsche
Sorry! In der Videobeschreibung steht ihr jetzt drin, ins Video selbst frickel ich das jetzt nicht mehr rein!
Heavy on the roleplay, light on the actual action
There are Tolkien Elves and even some WH-Elves... you can be what you can act (and look!) like! Have your next holidays over here in Germany ;-)
larping sounds so fun I want to try it sometime
OMFG!!! That's so awesome.
A question to (seriuos) larpers: Do you train (I mean sport-wise)? And if so, what exactly? Swordplay? Kendo?
Some do, some don't, but I don't think anyone does any actual sports training *for* LARP.
Some LARPers treat fights competitively, meaning some of them have meetings to train LARP fighting in particular, others treat it more like stage-fighting, where the focus is more on looking good than efficiently defeating your opponent.
Generally, any kind of actual fighting techniques are not that helpful because of safety or practical concerns (latex, not steel), with the exception of general things like proper stance or "how to hold your weapon".
Pretty damn good LARP you guys have over there in Deutschland. I wish there was one like this near me but there are no pre 17th century style LARP games in the U.S. that look as good as the ones in Europe. Where do the participants get their costumes (or parts for their costumes)?
Es ist mein großer Traum, einmal bei Larp mit zumachen, nur in NRW gibt es wenig :(. Und ich weiß nicht genau, wie ich mir eine Rüstung zusammen stelle, aber das muss so cool sein, ich bin schon voller Adrenaline wenn ich diese Videos gucke :) Hoffentlich wird das irgendwann mal was :) Und dann reißt der junge Lord hier einen Riss en den FEIND !
Let me ask you something. Does your kind of LARPing involve any of the following aspects:
- roleplaying, trying to merge with a certain role and full 24-h
- being involved in some kind of plot
- solving riddles or puzzles
- specific genres, like medieval times, Fantasy based on Warhammer, Tolkien, D&D, The Dark Eye etc., vikings, Steampunk, pirates or else
- making costumes and building armour/décor/furniture/weapons?
Btw, I did't find any videos on your channel. Does your group attend BotN?
Did my first LARP today. Its a lot more fun than most people stereotype about
Pfeile oder Schwerter oder was meinst du? Die Waffen bestehen aus einem GFK-Kernstab mit dickem Schaumstoffmantel. Man spürt die Schläge zwar, extrem weh tut es aber im Normalfall nicht. Ein Treffer haut dich in den meisten Fällen auch nicht direkt um.
Hell, yeah!
So epic! The team with the firearms and cannons though. Such cheaters XD
No "king" here, just a provost... and yes, he's a little portly ;-) But hey, he's got a nice life with a lot of food and wine... and... ähem... in his convent ;-)
Thank you, man ;-) I think the different weapons and armour gives the thing the "realistic"-touch, like the used look of Star-Wars Spaceships ;-)
I watched the videos of the WHF-LARP and it has been the look of WHF... so, goal achieved... as we play a (very) historic Pilgrims-Camp during the "Epic Empires" LARP, it has to be more "realistic" than WHF. But there are more and more WHF-Players even in german LARP...
Please have a look at the other videos, there you can see many other aspects of german-high-end-LARP ;-)
That's why we all wave these long pole-weapons in front of us ;-)
Na ja, es gibt viele Spiele an denen man schon unter 18 teilnehmen kann... von woher kommst du denn?
Ah Germany, Where good ol' Larp still exists. Though its making a comeback in Britain.
Thank you! I shall~
I don´t get it, is this thing like the matrix? if you die in LARP you die in real life?
I completely agree with you ^^ I'm just tainted by the way me and my country-men (Danes) roleplay Warhammer Fantasy Empire.
It was just a quick response - mainly because I was tired.
But once again; lovely use of armour and weaponry. Once I thought that complete uniformity was fantastic, but now I have discovered the perfection in imperfection thanks to LARP'ers like these ;)
Always wanted to Experiance LARP... problem is, hard to find any actual LARP Groups in Oregon... I got a Sword of my own (Bastard Sword, and a friend of mine is hanging onto a Chainmail armor for me)
Nice! Maybe we'll meet there... have a look for Ignatius Fürchtegott in the Pilgrims-camp... I'll be there drawing and painting ;-)
so that's what they like, it really explains a lot.
Says the person who is sitting in his parent's basement on his PC all day raging at LARPers because they actually get outside and exercise :p
Wait are they supposed to be the Warhammer Empire? I saw Sigmar on some of their shields.
geile sache, thumbs up für die schicke icathmosphäre! ich bin erst 17, würde da aber auch gern mitmachen!
how old do you need 2 be 2 do it
I dont understand the concept behind LARPing. So, how do you keep one side from cheating? If you are stabbed or slashed, and dont go down, what then? Or what if they get back up when no one is looking? I mean, you basically have to trust one another to referee themselves??
Well, the concept behind it is: FUN... you can "cheat", means you just can ignore the rules or make them work in your favorite... but this doesn't generate FUN. If you "cheat" or don't play in a common sense, you won't have FUN very long as nobody will play with you. LARP is about generating unique scenes of acting... Loosing generates scenes worthy to act in...
i think they have game masters just like paintball
Microbe1972 I like larping also but it's spelled losing read a book for Christ sakes
UndeadDave
Yes, Dave, you're right. But as I am not a native speaker, this little surplus "o" shouldn't be a problem... as I wrote in the other comment, it is more important WHAT is written, not HOW it is written... or do you have problems understanding the meaning of the sentence with an extra "o"?
imagine this but armored combat league
i don't think i will personally ever larp but if it was full contact brawl then 100% i would
ohhh maaan :DDD ich würde son lachkrampf in soner situation bekommen :D
Well, this seems to be "full-contact fighting"... as we do LARP, we dont use real blades. During the bigger battles, there are more than 500 fighters on the battlefield... with steel-blades this would be a blood-sports ;-)
Where are you from? Russia? I know that you do the things a little bit harder there ;-)
wenn mich so ein teil trifft muss ich dann umfallen oder tun die sowieso etrem weh?
xD
At 0:13 it says "Pilgerlager goes to war" ;-) No dude, no arming cap... so, where did you see this dude?
That halberd spear wall though...
Warhammer reenacting :o That sounds fun! Do you guys just do empire and chaos or do you throw in some elves too?
it's like a live-action gameplay of Medivel
I'm with you but didn't the U.S. pull out a while ago?
das ist atemberaubend! so ne rüstung muss ein vermögen kosten ...
Looks like i'm in the awesome part of youtube!
I'd love to do a star wars version of a full-scale battle
I don't know... the filmed event took place in an special LARP-area, called UTOPION in Western Germany... check out the Location: XXX.larp-gelaende.de ... the area is a former military training-ground.
so it looks as if pilgerlager broke through the wall but were unable to make a push fully into the encampment?
+TK Jones:
Yes, that's the whole story in short ;-)
+Microbe1972 they did so well cutting down those romans though
I know right! And they almost broke free, and that was some amazing RP At the hospital.
Darf man auf dem Epic eigentlich die Wände einreißen oder war das nur ein Unfall?
Wenn das entsprechend abgesprochen bzw. das Lager die Wand so angelegt hat: JA! Das ist ja das Tolle daran ;-)
das ist geil auf dem DF wäre sowas undenkbar...wurde aber auch schon gemacht...was ziemlich panne war weil die wände da nochn büschen dicker sind
Das Video ist super!!
Aber bei den Darstellern hast du das Norrelag vergessen.
Die Gruppe sie bei 15:05 die Palisade eintritt, sind die Traefjorder aus dem Norrelag!
Oh ja, das ist es auf alle Fälle... wenn man selbst dabei ist um so mehr ;-)
17:04 Aw, man!!! I didn't get to swing my giant mallet!!!
You can't get everyone to play the way it's meant to play ;-)
Gefällt mir sehr, nur die ständigen Schwarzblenden (vor allem innerhalb einer Einstellung) sind überflüssig.
Ansonsten: Toll, und danke für's filmen und schneiden!
And people sitting at home with the only thing left in their life to do is rage at people on the internet have girlfriends? Well done.
Epic Romans!
This is for all the people who leave negative comments. These people DO NOT CARE about these bull shit comments . Maybe you should not look this stuff up if you were not interested in it in the first place. It's ignorant people like you who make me sick. I have an absolutely beautiful girlfriend(not just saying that) . I play chess. I watch anime. I play tuns of video games. I like comics. I dress in all black. I have long hair.(I'm a guy) I play airsoft. I play football in highschool.the Lord of the Rings trilogy are my favorite movies.(I can quote about 60% of all 3) . My favorite tv show is star trek. I PLAY FOOTBALL.(which means I condition/workout) name someone els that fits this description. What these people are doing is fun. Sorry to break it to you but being a douche is not fun so just quit :D and I watch an episode of how the universe works every night before I go to bed. DOUCHE BAGS GO AWAY do not even bother commenting unless you really care about us and want to join.
Yay for LOTR!
Awesome speech man

In my opinion, they look quite real... of course, they are foam-weapons, but the use and the look is quite accurate to reality!
Danke! Wegen der Schwarzblenden hatte ich auch Bedenken, am Schluss fand ich sie dann ganz passend... ohne sieht es noch komischer aus, weil ich ja nur Material einer Kamera hatte und auch recht "planlos" gefilmt habe (wie auch planvoll, bei einer spontanen Schlacht)... vielleicht schneide ich nochmal ein wenig herum, aber wie so oft verlässt einen die Lust je länger man an so was rumschnippelt ;-)
LARPING is amazing!!!!
Do those muskets hurt when they hit someone?
No. In fact, they don't fire any projectile. You point them at someone, there's a bang, and if that someone feels like they were hit, they play wounded or dead.
