I'm so glad I live in Europe....The quality is looks so much higher here. No plastic tents and bullshit 'no parking' signs around, for starters. And the monster costumes are more than a latex mask. But still, bravo for making this.
the only problem i have with this specific kind of LARPing is magic.......you have a huge orc swinging an axe around and a scrawny guy with I'm assuming tennis balls because I've seen that and the magic guy is supposed to be feared.....I lack the capacity to fear a tennis ball over a 6' 1" green guy with a battle axe the size of a full grown pine tree....
its too bad LARPERS are looked at so poorly. When I played I had some of the greatest times. I miss it its unfortunate that it takes so much time and dedication. I have so many hobbies!!!! Besides, it completely beats playing video games/mmorpgs. More skill is required than collecting power drops during power-leveling and mashing a sequence of buttons. Plain and simple; LARP = Fun.
nej nej nej nej NEJ ! you shuld take the european larps as an example to how this is done .. larp is fun, but the american system does not worK! .. sry guys.. otherwise, have fun and be safe :)
LARPing is sooooooo much fun, but sadly, where I live, it's just me and some friends. We don't just run around wacking the hell out of each other or anything, we have like rules and systems and stuff set up to make it legitimate, so it's still fun, but I wish we had an opportunity to play a large, full scale game. My cousin in Atlanta was telling me about how they have them there and stuff, and I got jealous ;p
LARP is the best thing in the world. I personally prefer to act on emotions (fear, happiness, sorrow, joy, love etc.) Ive been LARPing for 5 years, and Ive never been in a fight.
Ohh, and by the way: I agree with ShikamaruXT. Do something abouat your costumes. Make/buy better looking weapons, use make-up and not only masks. Dont use anything that symbolise thing like armour, weapons and other appearances. Use the real thing instead (or as real as it can get).
Wow, I just found myself in a larp video (at :10, in a suit).
I know many of the people in here, and when/where it was shot, so let me add some context if I may:
Some of the footage wasn't part of a larp, it was either the pre-show before the LARPY Awards (no comment), or showing off in a parking lot, etc. It's unfortunate that most of the footage is of fantasy larps; there are a lot in the US that aren't (e.g., vampire). Check out LARP Alliance or Shade's LARP list for one near you.
LOL, your weaps, ehem. Buy it in European shops, oh my god. German equip is much more comforetable than american. Me play and develop more and longer. I do not tell u how to play, but we try to play it like the "time" it was, more "medievallike". And slowly we get out of telling the damage, we play like it is and try to show, our magical armor more than just a blue band around our chest. Think of it ;)
Get European weapons, and it will be much more fun. And get in the woods or somewhere, not in your neighborhood with all the cars and buildings around. Ambiance = 0 there. And ambiance is the most important thing for LARP.
Hi there. I myself have a documentary made about me and my LARPing hobby. Its called "The Lone Larper". Check it out. Comment on it too if you like. I would love to make friends with the same interest. Hope to hear from you guys soon. Have fun. Bye ;-)
Hey, Director, YOU FAKIN SOCK!!!!!!!!!!! U PHAT FAGHET!!! YOU THINK YOUR THE BIG SHIT BUT YOUR SUCH A OMO!!! Seriously, I Larp and you bring such shame to me as a player. What is wrong with the LARPïng community. Why can't there be normal people playing this game that have all rights of being a geek without acting or looking so much like one. Such special people...
Some of the park scenes remind me fo a group I used to be with in sandiego. Named MEdieval fantasy cmbat organization or MEdieval Mayhem. It was combat then fantasy though. More about the combat with no roleplay eseentially.
The fighting styles are quite differant. In this vid, most of the people seem to be fighting individually, even when they are with the rest of their group/clan. Or they are fighting in a formal-looking "duel" style. The system I primarily larp in (I'm in the UK) often sees lots of shieldwalling, for example, and rank-based fighting, simply because we'd be shredded by the crew if we didn't. Search for the Outlore Trailers, you might find them interesting.
American larp sucks. Look at European larp´s. Its much realistic and fantasy is only one element of larp. We European a much cooler larper´s than that clowns. kill yourself please
just because you think that your a much better larper (im not one, so you might as well be better) doesn't mean that ameturs have to kill themselves, in a year or two, they might just have as much of an intersting life as you do, so don't blame the goofs (especily if they are kids, thats just fucked up) for not being as imaginative as you
This is unfortunate. That it comes down to a few bad american larps label the rest. A few bad apples as it were. Which is just sad. Because not all larps in the states suck.
Ok, seriously, why say that? They're having fun, even if some of the weapons, costumes or other things are nearly as "high quality" as the euro larps, we still have fun. So instead of saying "it sucks" just say " In my opinion, the overall quality of euro larp is better".
Agreed. Don't let a few bad examples of American larp mean all american larp sucks.. Sheesh. That would be like saying all germans from 1939 till the fall of the 3rd reich were all nazis. A bit of a blind blanketed hit on american larp don't you think?
Yes some American LARPs do suck but not all of them. You need to remember that most LARPs are fround upon over here because some people want to link it to shootings and other problems. As LARP is still somewhat new and people do not want to put forth the effort to understand it, it is a scapegoat for a lot of problems. Those who do LARP need to sugar coat and water it down. People have lost their jobs because their bosses found out they LARP.
Actually LArp is not somewhat new. When I started LArping as it were. That was back in 1989. And I believe larp is much older then that. It's people who stereotype larpers are teh oens who frown on it. And those who unfortunately live teh stereotype do not help.
Me and some of my friends and relatives are suppose to go LARPing at some point...We never set a date for it though...Can't wait though, Im gunna play as an Elf. =) It's easy to do, all ya need's a pair of pointy ears from party city, lol. 5/5
Ok, but I think you focus to much on fighting...here in Sweden its like there are some larp where like 80% of the people dont even have weapons like farmers, maids and so on
this look like it'll be really good when its done =D i think ill subscrib to you as long as you finish it. and theres really not enough serious larp documentaries on youtube, keep it up, it'll be worth it ^^
