It’s not my cup of tea, but man, these folks appear to be living their best lives! It’s hard to watch and not just be happy seeing them so happy…good stuff.
What an awesome comment, mate! Seriously! I love that you can look at it and just be like "yeah, not my thing but it's awesome how much fun they are having". More people should be like you!!
Agreed. I truly admire their dedication and commitment to the thing that brings them joy
Well said. It really doesn't matter what you do as long as you enjoy it and share it.
Heyho! I am one of the organizers of the Hordes of Chaos (or Chaos Camp) at the Epic and would like to thank Sonja and her team. This is a really good representation of the spirit of said event. They were really considerate on-site and kindly asked what and how they could film as to not disturb our immersion. They brought their own NPC/sacrifice, so me and some of the guys just staged a little scene that wasn't intrusive at all and completely in character without disrupting the camp's day to day affairs. It's a bit weird to see yourself larping in a video with almost one million views, I didn't really expect that. :D Congrats on the rightfully viral video!
Everyone involved with this LARP should be proud of what you have accomplished. Everything looks so amazing and well put together.
i truly do not understand wanting to portray, or be a part of "evil", makes me seriously question peoples mental health. Course this whole event does
@@nomadikmind3979 Interesting take. I can answer that question, but if you can't appreciate the hobby as a whole, those answers will probably not help you. I'll try nonetheless. Larp (as it's played in Germany) is (like almost every hobby) simply escapism and very manifaceted. One aspect of the hobby in general is roleplay, playing someone else for a weekend, fully immersing yourself in another world, experiencing epic, weird, spooky and/or funny scenes and fascinating characters with engaging stories. The same could be said for TTRPGs or many storydriven PC games. Another aspect of the hobby is creativity. Be it in crafting your gear, building a camp and decorations, writing plots and stories for character backgrounds or for people to live through when larping. I find the very idea that you have to have mental health issues to like that rather narrow minded.
As for the "evil" part: You - as you say yourself - portray evil, you are not part of real evil. Or do you consider actors who play villains as evil? Larp cons that have good participants and have a fighting component often times need evil participants. Most adventure cons do that with NPCs, who are the villains. But in a player versus player con, you either don't have a real war or you need evil players, who are willing to be the antagonists. I enjoy enabling other players to be heroes for a moment. Also a lot of people enjoy a good horror story. Orcs or Chaos players are more than willing to put one up for you, that is more than just words. One thing is really important though: We are very carefull, have multiple "escape" mechanisms like safewords and are mindful of the "good" player. We do check if our "victims" are okay out of character and if everything is fine. I have met some of the most genuine, helpful and considerate people in the Chaos Camp.
@@nomadikmind3979 How does mental health have anything to do with this? Those people are hobbyist enjoying something they really like doing ! To me it's much more the contrary, people doing something they like doing versus people like you judging others because they don't understand / do not like it ? It's really weird putting mental health in here. While your social acceptability should be questionned.
Oh heeey!! Thank you for these incredibly kind words! We had a blast in your camp and it was awesome to see how open you guys were to us coming in. Yes, we really tried not to disturb anyone and make the filming as immersive as possible for you still
The attention to detail in this is absolutely incredible.
Yeah, I love it too!! If you are interested in Larp and wanna see a little more about international events, check out our latest video: ua-cam.com/video/mWtnql6Epf8/v-deo.html
Being an orc apprentice has just made it on my bucket list
Yes if only they let me know while i was thinking bout what to do in life after GCSEs and college being an Orc would have been different 😁😁
it does sound like a great opportunity just to "feel the waters" a bit so to say
this takes me back 30 years when I made chain shirt and instantly was promoted to knight by 30 or so kids. I had so much fun and the kids thought it fun when I sent them on quests. The stories I got when they came back. You could hear how proud they were.
Germans worry about kids and violence but will allow and 14 year old to get on puberty blockers w out parental consent? Or worse? Odd world we live in.
@@edpiv2233 Weird worrying about kids and violence and then they have the audacity to, in a few cases, decide that the 14 year old is mature enough to decide for themselves. Why isn't it like in the good old US of FCKING A. Let old men in government decide if a woman should get an abortion and very importantly, teach all the cops to shoot all black people on sight.
Odd indeed.
I bet they will remember that for the rest of their lives. Sounds like so much fun
I like how you phrased it as "legally capable of full self-responsibility".
But the phrase “Playing with the concept of sexuality “ was a bit weird. You mean simulated sexuality.
@@Tubalcain422 surely you mean stimulated?
Sorry couldn't help myself, I'll see myself out ✌️🤣
I'm from Germany and didnt know we have such a cool event happening here in the woods! so freakin cool. :D
yeeeay, we have plenty. Check out my latest video here, it explains more: ua-cam.com/video/mWtnql6Epf8/v-deo.html
Deutschland ist ein geiles Land, sag ich dir dass ich nach 5 Jahren zurück nach Spanien umgezogen bin.
1. Conquest of Mythodea
2. Drachenfest
3. Epic Empires
These are the three biggest LARP events in Germany. :)
The fact that there's designated "Thief Bags" for thief characters to go around and snatch up just tells me that these are organizers who genuinely care, and want to make sure every character of every background and profession can be included and feel immersed. I have zero doubt in my mind that the founders of Epic Empires grew up playing DND.
As a Texan boy, if I ever get the chance to go to Epic Empires and participate, I'd do so in a heartbeat.
now this is what i call total immersion for sure wow larp has come such a long way since the 90s when i used to go to a full indoor site known as the keep in burnley located in the north west of england as always sonja showing the truely best of LARP that is out there ❤❤❤😎❤❤❤
that makes me very happy! And yeah, it's crazy right? It has been seriously wonderful to just go around and marvel at all the immersion =)
I'm impressed. I attended the 2022 epic and love what you did with this video. First time I can actually show and describe what epic and larp is with just a link to your video. Well done!
wohoooo that makes me very happy! That means you were there when I was there, right? 😊
UA-cam recommended this video not something I would do but loved seeing the community coming together doing the thing they love very inspirational to be honest love the content happy larping
How fucking sick is this, I’ve never done anything like live action roleplay but hot damn I would love to do this
hahaaaa love that you like it!! If youre interested check out my other videos too! We made a couple of cool videos about other International events and about different larpers etc
This is insanely cool. Never thought I'd see it taken this far. I love Warhammer Fantasy. Everybody did such a good job with their costumes.
oh thank you for your kind words Manifold! Love that you can look at this and enjoy it!! Have you ever tried larp yourself?
@@SonjasAdventures no, never. I just can't bring myself to do it. I don't know why but I do love watching you guys have fun and just play. The costumes are top notch!
@@SonjasAdventures I'd love to get into it but knowing me I'd have to go crazy with the costume and I'm not good at that, I want to learn though, do you know if there's a faction similar to templar or paladins at the one in the video?
@@entomologistmaximus5097 Hm not reeeally - I think the closest you would get would be the camp of the "Luxuniter" - check them out on Instagram @luxuniter
@@SonjasAdventures alright, is there a rule on making new factions?
As someone who's been LARPing in Australia (Swordcraft) for the better part of 10 years it has now become a goal to save up enough to attend an event at Epic Empires
oh awesome mate! Heard about Swordcraft. And we have a bunch of Ozzies at Conquest of Mythodea and Drachenfest as well...we love having you badass lot over!
I met some Australians at Drachenfest. They were playing some kind of Aztecs or Maya, with lots of feathers, so we as Landsknechts (which a lot of feathers) immediately got along great with them, had to trade feathers of course. Sometimes little details make for great interactions.
This video has been my first introduction to larp. My life will never be the same. Thank you, truely.
So you are about to join the community? What do you want to larp? What is you character going to be like?
@@tobimeier5544 The thing is I never realized I have already been doing it. I love improv acting, building sets, costume design and making character that I embody, I watched this and realized that this is something I could be good at and love doing. The more I look into the hobby, the more excited I become; so yes, I am 100% joining the community. Im still learning for now, so im just drawing up a character for now based on a high fantasy setting and figuring what kind of person I could be. Learning that you can steal gold and go on real quests just blows my mind, so I may do something related to that.
@@GixsPicks One of the organizers of Messergasse ("Knife alley") here - The town's quarter for rogue-ish characters on Epic Empires. We'd love to take you in! Ingame stealing is a damn lot of fun.
I love the tremendous open-mindedness in this commentary section. So many people from so many different countries dropping some kind words. ♥
Einfach nur genial. ❤ Als Hobbit möchte ich mich aber besonders für die Berichterstattung über den Kuchen bedanken.
Haha wie schön! Bist du Teil dieses Lagers oder findest du allgemein einfach nur Kuchen toll? =D
@@SonjasAdventures He, Du weisst ja, wie wir Hobbits so sind - klein, rund und auf die Bequemlichkeiten des Lebens bedacht. In so einem Lager würde ich glatt überrannt und im Schlamm landen… und dann mehrere Tage ohne meinen Lieblingssessel… aber ich gebe zu, der Kuchen ist ein Riesenargument pro LARP. Ah ja, Elben. Immer ein Bonus. 😄
I saw some LARP videos before thanks to ytb recommendations, but I never thought it could be this immersive. Looks awesome. This video genuinely made me want to one day try and attend such a big event.
oh how cool! I love that!! If you want to see a bit more, we have tons of videos about other international Larp events as well. Just chck out my channel if you like
It is like living in the middle ages but without a short lifespan, famine, disease and violent death.
I love how much attention to detail these guys have in there costumes and how immersive they make it look it's incredible well done good work to all of you and credit where credits due and I can't imagine the time and energy gone into this whole world they have created
Thanks so much, mate! Yeah it's incredible what kind of passion the people put into this hobby. I simply love it
while everyone else were bludgeoning each other to death, one guy decide it was a good idea to play a string instrument while walking forward. I like that.
Yes he told his comanding officer that his song would made the troops brave and strong. From time to time the comandernyelled at him to play louder because he cant see any effects
@@baluogerbarenkonig3682 haha I didnt even know that story - but it's so fitting
Dude was definitely a Bard. Playing music buffs your team's morale and stats.
I have never in my life been apart of any LARP event, but always found them interests and something that I'd love to try. This looked so awesome! Loved seeing all the different camps and outfits. If fills me with great joy seeing these people having so much fun and this event!
Oh mate, that's awesome!! Love that you can see it with so much positivity and joy
I had to look up what LARP even meant. With that said, this looks like a lot of fun. I would have no clue what I was doing but it seams like learning is half the fun of LARPing. Good journey to you all and enjoy what seems like a fantastic hobby.
If you are interested find your local community there is a group in almost every city.
If nothing else picking up a skill like sewing is worth it for a few afternoons of your time. Along with making some, interesting connections.
I dont do it myself not my scene. I just help one group develop their story/quest. Seeing as I have been their dm for years now. They love picking through my scrap book of discarded ideas.
I love that we broke the bubble and found you outside of it! Welcome! Glad you like it so far
This is like Fantasy Burning Man, and I'm here for it. I think it would be fun to go even as an artist, or chef, as well as a warrior or spellcaster! I've never been that committed to roleplay
Haha - actually, I would say "Conquest of Mythodea" is more like the "Fantasy Burning Man"...that's the world's biggest Larp event with 10,000 people and it's a little more festival like. But I love it, too
It is definitely on my larp bucket list to attend one of the big three in Germany some day. But for now, I had a lot of fun spotting quite a few people I know in this video!
We've all done it as kids right?
Always loved fantasy.
Since I saw the movie role models and found this stuff.
I've always wanted to attend at least once, my friend does viking reenactment has armor and everything. Looks like a great way to meet people at their best doing something they genuinely love and bond.
Well even role models isnt the best representation of our Hobby, its nice that you liked the impressions!
You should ask your friend if he could lend you some stuff and just go with him. Larping has the potential to be the best Hobby you can think of!
As a LARPer in America, this video makes leaves me breathless, not a boffer in sight. and no parking lot background!. epic doesn't do any of this justice. You're vids are amazing!.
This is something I could see myself involved in! If only I wasn't an old man of 70 years. JRR Tolkien's books captured my imagination as a child, this would capture my love as an adult for the homage to his theme. Thank you for sharing this experience! I can imagine yet again of another time and place!!
There are players at that age playing LARP, so as long you feel like, and your body would agree - do it!
You wouldn´t be the oldest person there. As long as sleeping in a tent is something you can do: Go for it.
You should do it if you think your body can handle it :) People won't judge you for your age if that's what you're afraid of.
It's all about whether or not you feel fit enough to do it.
Wieder einmal ein unfassbar gutes Video von euch! Ich bin begeistert wie gut ihr die LARP Scene einfangen könnt und auch für Außenstehende erklärt.
Es ist so Schade das ihr bald damit aufhört und eine große Lücke hinterlasst. Da muss erstmal jemand an diese Qualität ran kommen :D
Wir sehen uns auf dem CoM!
oh wow danke Bodo!! Das bedeutet uns echt super viel solche Kommentare zu lesen 😍 Robin aua meinem Team hat super hart an diesem Video geschnitten und jat jedes Lob verdient
Damn how nostalgic I feel now... But in a good way. I used to larp so much from 14 to 20 years old with old friends and since a decade, we completly stoped. I realized by watching that video that I indeed miss it. This place looks really awesome! Great video :)
They’re having a blast, love that. This ain’t for me but I appreciate the cool factor in the detail and care this whole event has.
It just makes me happy seeing people get together for just that... Being happy. Not my cup of tea, but man... I love it, that you love it.
i have no idea why this popped up in my recommended and this particular genre of roleplay really isnt for me but its still awesome to see people so dedicated towards it, seems like an awesome experience
At first I was awed, then she said "3rd biggest in Germany" and "1200 people" in the same sentence. Jebus, Germans like their LARP. I'd have to drive an hour and a half to attend one and I'll bet there would be around 20-30 people.
Yeah we do have some big Larp events here 😊 If you are interested, I have a video caled "what is larp" as well as "the 6 biggest larp genres", where I show other big Larp events not only from Europe but also Canada etc 😊
for 5 years or so i follow you're vids and they're just...EPIC, informativ and
inspiring. I have all the garment but i never fully commit to go on. youre videos make me feel like... some day i will do it ;)
wohooooo!! This would make me so happy! Try it at least once and with the right kind of people 👍👍 it's worth it
Ein richtig starkes Video! Vielen Dank Sonja!
ui, ich freu mich! Schön, dass es dir gefällt! Und du siehst so klasse aus in den Shots
I love watching people fully committed in to what they love ❤️
I have a great idea for a rogue character and i would love to make his outfit and go here!
This event looks amazing!
thats absolutely amazing and instantly goes on the list of things i want to attend in my life ... now i just need a costume somehow
Yeeeay! If you need inspiration, check out our channel @sonjas_adventures on Instagram. I post so many costume inspirations
That is very impressive!
All kinds of ideas ran through my mind throughout this video.
I've seen LARP in various ways, and this is such a great thing to have a community of this size and investment. Thank you for showing this!!
Back in the 1990's, i was fascinated by larp's. I would read about these awesome larp events people were having. People would book a whole hotel to run a Vampire larp. Or they would rent a castle for a few day long fantasy larp. Or book a whole cruise ship to run a scifi larp (they decorated the inside of the cruise ship to resemble a space ship). I was soo envious.... But in the end, i never went to any larp events. Mainly because my social skills, suck ass. Anyways, its nice to see people still interested in larping.
How about you change that now? Believe me, you just need to find your crowd. This could absolutely be something that enriches your life
A sci-fi larp and a vampire larp? Sounds sweet. Someone should make a Larp theme park where you could build 3 or 4 genres in one massive plot of land, that way your can have a centralized location for medical, non Larp food (especially for those with health requirement diets) and facilities.
@@SonjasAdventures True!
I only clicked this video to find out what the meaning of LARP is.
I do believe that people should never be afraid to join something like this. There is no way someone that is already involved would judge jou. I believe it would mean the world to them if new people join.
You must do what you love. Live is short. If someone from outside think you ar stupid then let them think that. They are missing out on real friendship.
What a great community.
My social skills and tolerance for social interaction are both low, I'm a proud introvert. I had an extroverted friend take me to a LARP with him years ago when I was around 19, I had all the same fears as you and it turned our to be great. Everyone at every event I've been to over the years loved seeing someone new and they were one of the most welcoming crowds I've ever experienced. Also keep in mind while at the LARP you aren't you anyway, I built my character to be the complete opposite of myself and just embraced him. It helped me build better social skills and conquer some of my social anxiety. It's never too late and I highly recommend going to an event.
Imagine if they made this a all year round thing like a actual thriving community that be awesome
There is an actual thriving community and Larps happen all year around. Check out our latest video, it explains the hobby more in detail: ua-cam.com/video/mWtnql6Epf8/v-deo.html
Ya, they do, it's called real life. There are a kinds of characters, it's wild!
@@MyVoiceCountsDammit Unfortunatly "REAL LIFE" is messed with by the PC Police!!!!!!
@@Capohanf1 I agree, just being cynical. But that's what real life is, roleplay who you wanna be, fake it till you make it!
@@MyVoiceCountsDammit Real life role play DOES have its advantages, I try and make all my neighbors think I am Crazy so they do not bother me!
oh my I feel like I need to try attending this event one year. Always wanted to play traveling warrior monk character irl. I'd be one of the strange people walking around barefooted in earthly toned robes and armed with calm fury and quarter staff. Martial arts were borderline religion to me at one point of my life and I'd actually even be able to cook food on open fire.
Your enthusiasm is contagious. Thank you for lending a hand in exploring a fascinating potential future hobby from a safe distance at first. :) Danke!!!
that makes me very happy! Thank you for your kind words and glad you are exploring this hobby!!
You know the orc camp is fire. Just pranking the elves the whole time.
Always love these kinds of Videos😊 Have always enjoyed Watching LARP but never really dared to do it, but have found good friends that I together with got to experience LARP with for the first time this year. All I can say is that I am going back for more!
I saw some genuinely beautiful moments in this.. I would so attend. And I thank you for sharing this event with us.
Epic Empires sounds like so much fun! I would love a chance to visit a place like this to escape the grind and have fun like we did when we were kids for a bit.
Well, If you want to see more of LARP all around the world check out our latest video: ua-cam.com/video/mWtnql6Epf8/v-deo.html
I was on my first Larp ever, last year. And I started with EE. Well, what could I say: I have a new Hobby. Thanks for the video. I could remember every second of what you showed.
@@SonjasAdventures Ya, but that made it special good!
I performed as a traveler and I was at Neapolis (Antike) for a visit stay.
Next time I will be in the City
@@MilesMagic1 yeah the town is a great place for a traveller! And an easy place to start as well from what I have seen. Love that you will come back
@@SonjasAdventures Will you be there as well? Where are you from anyway? And wich Fort are you heading for?
@@MilesMagic1 no I won't be there. 2023 I only go to two Larp events. I am from Germany. No fort or camp =)
This one looks awesome. I’ve never been to a LARP situation! but I have talked for three hours straight with a knight that wielded a 10 ft tall something something Blade or sword. At the time, I was working at a hotel. We stood at the front desk the whole time. It was him with his 10ft LARP weapon, and Me checking in guest, answering phone calls, and then picking up the conversation right where we left off. It felt almost like I went to the festival.
I love this, thank you for posting. Some inner part of me yearns to live in this life and connect with a deep part inside of me connected with my heritage. My ancestors were Danish, Scottish and Welsh and I would love to live as a viking and connect to that part of me. Thank you for posting this
veeery welcome. Have a look at this if you wanna know more: ua-cam.com/video/mWtnql6Epf8/v-deo.html
Suprised to see so many of my players of the 1750ish part of Town. Great Video. And thanks for praising our oven and the pies :)
oh those were your pies and oven? I LOVED it...also the cake looked really yummy...My mouth is still watering =D
@@SonjasAdventures Of one of my players, yes. I am the headorga who said: "And you really wanna wake up every morning to bake fresh bread and pie? Good luck with that." 😄
Still amazed he did it. What a madman.
@@saerdna94 haha and so they did apparently...can I book them for the next Larp I go to? I want to eat fresh bread and pie every day, too!!
that chaos undivided warrior looks friggin amazing 3:51
im always so envious of people who can actualy roleplay combat and such. ive always wanted to give it a try some day, but since i know my self and have a natural tendency for anger i know i will never give it a go for everyone elses sake.
still tho, looks mad fun and i have nothing but respect for all who play along.
One day, my family and I will attend. Together, we will join the Warhammer Fantasy camp, to fight alongside Empire fans. How come I didn't find Epic Empires years ago? How come I am only finding it now in these days where people are panicking about the 'End of the world'.
Haven't people panicked about the "end of the world" for thousands of years? =D There's a Chaos camp and an Empire camp - so you would have to choose your Warhammer Fantasy =D Also, your Family has to be over 18 years old if you take them with you =) I hope you have tons of fun whenever you go!!
@@SonjasAdventures Yes they have lol. Ppl still do haha. I’m over 18 and my fiancé is over 18 too. She and I want to go to the larp camp in Quebec though before we think about going to Germany. I’m with the Empire all the way! I’m going as a Templar Witch Hunter of the Empire. I have a dream to become…. Karl Franz…..xD.
Also thank you. Yeah when she and I are married and have kids of our own, that’s when we will wait until they’re old enough.
This is what we did almost every school recess. Good to know some haven't outgrown it. They take it to a new level.
I'm in the SCA, which is something like a LARP (though sort-of history-based rather than fantasy-based). Epic Empires looks like great fun.
yeah, I hear SCA is pretty big in the US, right? I've only heard of Pensic War so far but that looks cool, too
I probably would not go to attend, but i damn well understand that this would be hella cool for an everyday person who wants to escape reality.
😊 It's funny that people always say that. But to be fair, "escaping reality" is not my personal goal or that of many people I know. My reality is freaking awesome 😂 I dont want to run away from it.. But I like to ADD to it. Making life even more extraordinary and experiencing things that most people never have. I like that - and Larp is just one way to do that among many 😊❤️
Looks amazing! Hope you keep the good spirits and event for many years to come!
That orc camp looked bad ass I admire the thought put into everything
Boar das sieht schon wirklich cool aus!!! Steht auf meiner bucket list 😉
Das ist es auch wirklich! Du findest eigentlich fast alle Lager auch auf Social Media und kannst dich dort direkt nochmal informieren wenn du mehr Fragen hast
I just randomly came across this video and I couldn’t be more interested. I’m in America so it’s a long shot, but the idea is definitely on my radar now, thanks!

Thank you for all these amazing videos!
Richtig klasse dieser Einblick in LARP! :) Hatte von dem Thema bisher nur wenig Ahnung, aber jetzt bin ich schlauer und noch beeindruckter! Wow!
I love your coverage of the EE i hope to got there this year. But what i love more is the fact that it is surprising to a lot of people to be always immersed in your character. I feel like american and european larp is very different in terms if outfits, playstile and immersion.
hm, that's not even just an "American" or "European" thing - I know a lot of European Larps that break character often.. but here I never saw it once. And personally, I prefer that 😊 How about you?
Hurry up with your application, there are already waiting lists for some camps.
I've been interested in Larp but never knew where to start, I also live in a part of the US where that kind of thing just isn't accepted if you are above a certain age
I wish we had stuff like this in America
Well, you do have LARP. =) Just a different type of Larp. And you do have a pretty amazing huge Larp campsite in Canada (Bicolline). So that's something, right?
Never LARPed before, but this actually makes me kind of excited to try. Hahah they look absolutely ecstatic and I would love to join the fun!
aaaaawesome - here's a video with more info if you like: ua-cam.com/video/mWtnql6Epf8/v-deo.html
It's pretty cool people come together and take this seriously.
Interesting. I never knew such a gathering or group of enthusiasts existed. Good for them.
Promoting community, friendship and fun - what's not to like? Thank you for this glimpse into the LARP culture.
5:35 I've unfortunately don't have experience larping yet. But with DnD and other RPG's I've played this was THE golden rule! Help, others, shine. If everyone was trying to give all other players their time in the spotlight, EVERYONE WAS SHINING! What great RP sessions we had
yeeeees!! That's exactly it!! Also, If you want to see more of LARP all around the world check out our latest video: ua-cam.com/video/mWtnql6Epf8/v-deo.html
I didn't know this was a thing. I find it truly strange adults would like doing this sort of thing. Then again... I race and spend my money on cars as a hobby. To a larper, I bet that's dumb and silly. Most people just see a car as a utility device like a washing machine. So... in that regard, I get it. Larping (if I'm saying that word right) is pretty damn awesome. EVERYONE has a hobby they love and makes them happy. Larping is just one of the many. Pretty awesome watching this.
You honestly put it so well! Thanks mate!! I really love how well you put this. Also, if you want to know a little more about our crazy hobby, we just uploaded a new video that explains it and shows a few more international Larps: ua-cam.com/video/mWtnql6Epf8/v-deo.html
I was in one in my dream today.Was a big medieval castle with an abbey , and one missing stone step on stairs. It had a boxing area too, reminded me of Mortal Kombat.
Absolut tolles Video!

oh how cool! I totally understand - and I try to explain and show more cool stuff here in our new video if you like: ua-cam.com/video/mWtnql6Epf8/v-deo.html
I must visit this event at some point. It looks seriously epic.
In Britain you used to get up early on a Saturday to head off to your own particularly hobby, 6am say, and whether it was a sport, the climbers and trekkers, or people headed off to a carnival or role-play event, I used to enjoy seeing the busses, mini-busses and car convoys headed off to have fun and lose themselves in whatever pastime was their passion.
We'd nod at each other and say, "There goes those caving nutters", or "There goes those role-players", with full knowledge they were probably saying the same thing about us. Long may we all be able to spend time doing what we enjoy doing.
I worry that to many people are way too concerned about life and what other people do and think, when they should just be having fun. I've done a couple of these events (a long time ago), and I thoroughly recommend them, It is a cross between a fancy-dress murder-mystery party and real life Dungeons and Dragons, and like everything, the more you put in, the more you get out of it.
that's a great way to put it.. and I think what you are describing will always be the case.. there's always people who care what the neighbours say and think... and then there's people who are happy with their own lifes and are okay with whatever floats someone elses boat. I personally think, as long as you live the life that you WANT to live.. and not just react to whatever your neighbours think you should do..it's worth it and a life well-lived
Ich habe es auch nicht gemerkt als ihr durch die messergasse geschledndert seit und uns beim Kochen gefilmt habt oder mit unserem Banner.
Sehr nice das Video und auf den Punkt getroffen.
Für immer das EE❤️
Wie schön!! Wir waren wirklich vorsichtig um niemanden aus der Immersion zu ziehen. Messergasse musste natürlich mit rein =)
I would love to go and just make bread hahah. It sounds so cool! I wish I was still living in Germany, I would have loved to go.
Oh boy, that looks like a huge amount of fun! The first I heard about LARP was from the movie "Role Models" where it forms a huge part of the movie plot. I'm going to have to look into this in a great more detail!
awesome Neil! Here's a video that might help you: ua-cam.com/video/mWtnql6Epf8/v-deo.html
Larp always looks so Cool the details and how serious they take it im such a introvert i could never do this type of hobby i freak out easy in large groups of ppl
Weeeeell, if you still want to check out the hobby just from the safety of your screen, have a look at our latest video: ua-cam.com/video/mWtnql6Epf8/v-deo.html
Do you have a group of a few people you trust? Go with them, form a small unit with them (a tribe, or family, or group from the same village). Set your tents a bit on the outside of a bigger camp or the town. You can interact as much or little as you want.
There are a lot more introverts at LARPs than you would think, because actually playing somebody else helps to overcome that.
Oh man, I wish I was younger, this would have been so EPIC to partake in.
Once you can get past the whole early 1900's germany, germans are actually some of the nicest people I have ever met online. Also some of the funniest and respecting/thoughtful people as well.
ich bin im video! werd ich jetzt berühmt? und, ohne scheiß, ich hab nicht mitbekommen, dass ihr da gerade direkt neben mir standet mit der kamera 😅
Ich auch nicht, wir sind ein paar mal ziemlich nah im Bild und ich könnte nicht sagen, dass mir das auf dem Event aufgefallen wäre
ich nehm das einfach mal als Kompliment, dass wir nicht zu auffällig waren mit unserer Kamera =D Hab versucht, mich sehr dezent zu verhalten! Mein Freund hat sich immer vor mich gestellt, damit ich abgeschirmt filmen konnte und keinen aus seiner Immersion reiße. Wer bist du denn, also wo im Video bist du zu sehen?
Und klaaaaar wirst du jetzt berühmt =D
@@SonjasAdventures bei 0:50 bin ich relativ in der mitte des bildes, weil ich am Rande des Spießhaufens der Pilger gehe und bei 0:52 sind meine Gruppe und ich fast alle auf der Rechten seite des Bildes zu sehen. Später im Video kommen wir noch zwei mal glaube ich an derselben stelle, in der Messergasse glaube ich ist es oder ein bisschen dahinter, vor.
@@itskyansaro aaaaah ja jetzt weiß ich wer ihr seid =D Ich hab euch in der Stadt genau vor diesem krassen Unwetter erwischt.
Sonneblume & Fritz: Das war eine magische Kamera. Ich glaube mit Daemon drin wie auf der Scheibenwelt. Da faellt das nicht so auf.
Heeeey guys!🤘If this is the first time you hear about LARP, check out our new video right here. It answers all the basic questions about our hobby 😄 :

Knights of Badassdom is the best LARP experience ever. Lost my soul but it was great.
I am from the United States! My ancestors were the lords of Burg Rennenberg From Linz am Rhein, Germany.. My Heart Flutters with love for stuff like this...
