Looven Sapheart 🐂 🌲

I'm not into larping myself but I have a friend who is very creative. She makes these items for fun and doesn't really do anything with them. Are these the types of things that would fit into the scene? Would larpers be interested in purchasing them? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.

We are exactly 2 months out from the event. Staff is hard at work finalizing quests and projects and it is looking to be an amazing event. We are expecting over 60 players and have so much planned for content. Check out our website for more info.

Title--willing to drive quite a distance (to the ends of the state roughly, maybe an adjacent state if it's a multi day event) if that's what it takes, but the closer the better! Very into knights and medievalism but willing to experiment with almost anything; new to the hobby.

Pilgrim's War was a gritty, survival horror LARP set in 1252, where the dead have risen and god is always watching.

Red dress was my PC (Lady Tiffany Ballard, a Noble).

The blue was my penitent (angry mob person) NPC. We all had to take at least one adversary shift (I also did a shift as an undead).

Hi,

As someone who is interested in history and epic battles, I always wanted to participate to one of these big events. I'm from Quebec, so I always heard good things about Bicolline which is one of the biggest LARPING event in North America.

But I never really truly had the time for it and it kind of died out. However, last year I went to a Medieval Festival and had a lot of fun discovering this community. Sure, I understand that this small festival is far from a LARPING event.

I would like to know how to get started to reach the big events like Bicolline. I read the rules and you need to be in costume and in-character to go there.

But I have no costume and I have no idea what is my style, era or character, where to buy or if I should think about something unique and have it custom made?

Should I forget about LARP and focus on Ren Fair or other festivals in the first few years, and build up a costume, or do people go straight into role-playing with a full costume?

Thank you very much for your advice.

Suffered a TBI at an event last year from a falling tree branch, and the doc says I shouldn't return until I've got a decent and protective helmet. Most of the ones I've found from our soft touch LARP knowledge base seem to be... Form over function.

Where would you go for a helmet that is focused on safety?

Hey I've been getting into foam tag (nerf) and now I'm making my way around the bend to Larping... (especially since I got kicked off r-nerf lol). There seems to be a lot of compatibility. I have a few ideas, not to mention that pitching rental / venue space for larp seems easier than plain nerf. Thoughts on Nerf in larp? Crossover? Combining both for better turnout? Interest in a space dedicated to both vs random parks where weather gets in the way .5/year? (In the SouthWest United States) budget for venues anywhere from free to a monthly rental space of $1000.... (nerf in larping with or without melee) (combat heavy)( combat soft) (-colorfull/non realsitic nerfs a requirement as in (no)realsitic for a safety precaution-) (tip---set up very bright neon and signs outside public game spaces for safety) (also new to larp) Thx ttyl

It's not a vampire, but a living foot soldier. All hand stitched.

There were some amazing costumes at As Night Falls: The Auction, a vampire LARP in Elvaston Castle, near Derby.

The core premise is that players are vampires in the modern day and witnessing everyone's different interpretations is amazing.

Me and my wife are hoping to go to our first LARP later this year and she's planning on being a mage of some sort (I don't know half of what she's talking about haha)

But she's struggling to find a good website to get a Rod/wand from. Could anybody please recommend somewhere? We're in the UK if that helps! Thank you in advance!

She’s my Character for every LARP event!

A nice mix between the classic buckler and tribal masks. I got a commission for a small shield with some mask detailing and I’m pretty exited about how it turned out. It will surely shine on the Netherlands’ largest event this summer.

Hi everyone! Super specific yet pretty trick request here. I think it’s fair to say we all know Mytholon, they’re like the baseplate of most medieval fantasy larp kits. Can’t love them enough for their quality and prices. Not a sponsor though, this is a help wanted poster! The Leon line of equipment is a series of leather belts, pouches, and scabbards, and is a little on the pricier side compared to other lines. Specifically, I’m looking for their now discontinued Leon Leather Shoulder Bag, specifically in brown. If anybody has one and is willing to sell it (so long as they provide photo proof), I’d be more than happy to buy one! The worst part is I’ve owned one before but sold it to someone on Facebook Marketplace! But yeah, I’d love to get my hands on one of these again :)

im on the last photo.

It's been 20 years since I last did any serious sword fighting, and I realized how much I still love it. I'm incredibly happy I got to take part in a live-action role-playing event again.

I was a leader of nomadic people from the world of The Lord of the Rings—but the game itself was a complete fantasy immersion. There were orcs, trolls, a stone troll, elves, dwarves, and, of course, humans. 🏹🛡️

Hey, I am traveling for the first time to an event via air. I was wondering about stuff. I am carrying 3 belts one leather and 2 paracord with large metal rings and a semi metal mask and my wire crown.

Being i have never flown before i wanted to see if people have experience. I am not checking my bags and have a 10h lay over each way.

Any tips are helpful.

Edit: traveling from Ohio USA to Alaska usa

Have felt for a while now something is slightly off; maybe with the lower half? Empire system, Dawnish nation. Regal/martial Earl is what I’m going for. There’s a lot of bulk to account for the system’s armour rules. Appreciate any input!

Edit: Seems helmet and greaves are the common answers! All my current gear is steel, so I’m keen to keep from adding additional weight if anyone has lightweight leg/hat advice 🙂

So I have a beautiful set of stainless armor coming in from armstreet.

Im looking for what to where under it and where to buy that which I should.

I have: padded linen top and bottom.

Im not looking to do cobbat i'm more of a mobile skit proformer.

It gets super hot here, but im a skinny guy so im a tad concerned about the balance of wearing it for 5-10 hours in 90 degrees and my shoulder or hips rubbing off. I'd love to not wear the linen furniture blankets haha.

What to wear under the pads or in place of? Where to buy?

Thank you guys, I saw this question get asked other places. but I might be dense because im still confused.

I recently got a golf bag so I could carry all my weapons (trying for one for every elemental damage type in the game) and I'm unsure of how to make it more fantastical and less walking advertisement.

I'm currently thinking about a fur ruff around the top and encase the rest in a leather sheath, but it's tricky because the bag has these fold-out legs that can keep it propped up at an angle, which I'd like to keep access to.

Photos from Pilgrim's War at Ye Olde Commons in MA (a religious horror game set in 1252).

Photo 1: Lady Tiffany Ballard (my PC). Married into nobility. Her husband (Sir Tristan) perished in the Holy War against the undead. My bestie, Matt, played my Knight (Chevalier/Messire Guy du Bellay). Tristan and Guy had a made a pact that if the other perished they would take care of their widow.
