These people have a very smart idea. I wish more people would decide to open up LRP gaming to the public as a form of event entertainment. LRP is more engaging than a traditional Ren. Fair, I have found, and pulls out everyone's inner hero/villain.
With this sort of thing it always helps to join up with some other people, both to help with travel/transport arrangements and pehaps get a common theme going with the characters. I`m Edinburgh based myself and currently asking around to gauge if there`s any others in the local LARP community to see if ther`s any interest.
There is a group of folk that already go down from Glasgow :-) So you wouldn't be on your own ;-) Someone might even have space in the car! (If you know the NEST some of those folks are Empire players too).
Carly Strang yeah I had thought of that. I joined the NEST facebook group a few months back. still gotta go to one of their games and meet them though.. :P
Just to update things somewhat. Any Scottish based LARP players that want to get involved might find this forum usefull. facebook.com/groups/293234250851279/?pnref=lhc.recent
that could be pretty helpful, thanks.although whether i actually go this year or not depends on if i can find work and save some cash, LARPing looks expensive
See I like larp, it's fun but I like it to be a little more logical. Why bother wearing a decent amount of plate armor and then have nothing on your head? She didn't even have a padded coif.
It's not. It really isn't. You could definitely afford a cheap larp helmetade of 18g mild steel if you could afford the rest of your body to be protected. Especially greaves
this is a hobby like anything else. you're out being social and having a good time with your mates. i think it's healthy, haven't been to a LARP myself, but i'm thinking about it.
dude seriously yes we have jobs, we save money to buy the tickets for these events, the costumes, the armour, the weapons, the tents. Its real. Its an incredible site. I only regret that we cannot have film of events anymore and see it all in the its splendour.
leithafae I like to hear people talk About it more Than I do watching it. tabletop weekly made some videoes About Empire. Thats what got me to make a character and start making my costume. incredible what people expeiance at these LARPs
To answer Le Tette, I am team leader for the ice cream sales at my local theme park. I work weekdays and weekends. Most of my friends in the hobby have very high level jobs as well.
Great times helping make this video, even in my own small supporting role. It is awesome to see Empire doing so well these days. Long live the Empire!

The girl with the white hair and the armour reminds me of a targaryen
And what amazing suit of armor is that...
Strength to the empire!

This deserves so many more views
COOL! Good work on the music, editing and VO which I think works very well.

Watching this was a very wise decision.
DEATH OR GLORY!
Oh, them mittens
EPIC
If you enjoy this epicness, check out the "Talsker Wölfe", fine headbashing I tell ye!
mega epic how can I be down!!!
I agree!
Slightly confusing title because of the Epic Empires convention starting today in Germany.
Well there are a lot of great weapon/costume makers here in the UK not like in America were a lot of the people make there own stuff.
The Same Bedlum Headstrong from The Gathering ???

I get it. :)
wow
And anybody is wearing a real helmet... ;-) Protecting your head is the first rule in medieval (or fantasy) combat ;-)
Would be nice to hear what the people are saying instead of just the voice over.

Two words.
Fucking Dawnismen

***** Life is expensive.
***** Maybe its because they are Dawnish
