    4:55 god the three-hour combats that happen at LARP are insane. Last summer I needed several days to recover after a LARP where the first combat of the day was a three hour long pitched field battle against some incredibly tough foes, and I shouted myself hoarse playing field commander and casting gesture spells across the field.

      Maybe I‘m a bit late,… buuut if you still need help: just google search, in germany we have „Thilos LARP Kalender“ but if you google search around your location and slowly progress further you‘ll find someone. Sometimes even looking at ebay it might help, this is how I found out my local LARP even exists, a freaking ebay search.

    I enjoy Roleplaying in VRChat for a lot of the reasons why you list for liking LARP. It's basically LARP but in a virtual environment. The equipment cost is kind of high but it's comparable to buying a full costume. And once you're in the limits on enemies and locations is lifted because the people running the RPs have access to upload maps and worlds into the game so they can deadass make the video game environments and just yeet you into them. And for enemies, yo ucan straight up have just, actual full on giants and proper dragons with animations and particle attacks and shit. The immersion of VR is insane as well.
    If you have a headset I think trying to get into a VRChat RP could be interesting. I'm curious what your take on it would be compared to your experience with D&D and LARPing. (Most people also stream their POVs so if you look for something like Aether Chronicles or Ascension Academy you can probably find VODs on Twitch to watch to get an idea if you don't wanna fork your soul over for a $800-1400 VR Setup with full body trackers lmao)

      In my humble opinion, as a Pen and Paper player and LARPer. I think the thing that VR chat is missing is the physicallity of things and the real life skill one needs to own/imitate to be able to do the thing they wanna do.
      I‘m a LARPer who plays under the rule of: „You can do what you‘re able to portray.“, if I wanna rp a medic I need to act as if I knew what I‘m doing while holding a pair of siccors cutting up clothing (only if a player is fine with it, don‘t wanna ruin a costume. Same goes for fake bloud, but there are skin imitates that one can put over the clothing to get the look) and pulling prop bolts out of the skin.
      Magic can be a bit more tricky from effects based on gun powder up to staffs that can light up etc.
      Like this is one of the main attraction of the hobby, the physicallity, you‘re not acting as if you were in the woods, running up a hill and running away from orcs. You are in the woods, running up a hill away from orcs who are charging at you.
      I think VR RP has its place, for me it‘s an inbetween of playing D&D on roll D20 but in a 3D Room and on the verge of getting into LARP. It‘s the closest digital aproximation towards LARP and for those with high social anxiety and just don‘t see themself outside with too many people, I‘m confident this is a good enough way to get a glimpse in to the hobby I love so much while being its totaly own thing.
      About the entry cost: LARP entry cost, if you found a cool group, can be 0 except the cost for an event. People are happy to land out full equipment for a weekend/until you‘re able and are sure what you wanna rp as and get your own equipment.
      This community is happy about anybody willing to join us and we‘re glad to lend a help to the people who need it. + I think starting out with a minimum gear and letting it slowly grow over time and through stuff you got gifted/traded it in for is the best way to start the hobby. ^^
      If you don‘t know how to fight just roleplay a ranger looking for a mentor, people will gladly roleplay the mentor part, gives them something to do on an event.

    Something I've seen that's been emerging is vrchat role play like fractured thrones. They hand select talented role players in a setting run by a handful of dms. The players aren't adventurers, they're people like a woodworker, surgeon or blacksmith, each with their own fantastic backstories. I've never cried so hard at character deaths. And that's because of just how well you get to know the characters. You see them struggle with money, get the supplies they need for their jobs, interact with so many entertaining or tragic characters, it's so freaking good it's like a living theatrical experience.
    Most of the participants stream their perspective from twitch, and it's a difficult ask to get into, but when you do it is so worth it

    "if you're a dnd player, your history is probably troubled with some broken groups and half-finished adventures." - davvy chappy, this video.
    this phrase hits me so hard, because it's true because my first ttrpg group has multiple half-finished stories and lost players and multiple dm swaps. me and my closest friends jokingly call that group cursed as no dm has been able to lead us for longer than 1 and a half year.

    The bleed bit I can understand, at least from an outsider's perspective as I have seen people get really upset over something that, when it comes down to it, is just part of the game. I do remember my first time getting exposed to it during a campaign where my buddy's character had an NPC that he grew close to get kidnapped. He was frantic even out of the session and it got to a point where he was struggling to keep himself collected and I was struggling to understand it as because of my theater background, I have a tendency to compartmentalize my thoughts where I can be a total dickhead while either onstage, or at the table to where you would actually believe I am such a person, and the very next moment when I'm no longer acting or roleplaying, I go back to my normal self. I had to talk to him about it and even posted it up on a facebook group to try and make sense of what was going on. Eventually, we both grew with this experience(we've been best friends for a long time, one argument wasn't going to break that.), becoming both better roleplayers and better friends. I was even able to finally tap into the 'crying on cue' with my characters(I struggled with that for some time during theater).

    Ive always enjoyed using my imagination I love to pretending but I got to a point where I was too old to be doing it but I just continued to on my own. I thought there was something wrong with me because no one else around me. My age seem to do that but then I Just started playing D&D which helped. The only problem though is like you said in the video about ADHD. That was one thing that was missing from how I used to pretend I had to sit still at a table. I still love D&D and I can have a lot of fun with it. It's a great experience but I feel like i could get so much more immersed in it if I was actually moving around and acting out also be able to focus and not feel so restless. There's so much stigma around larping and i feel like while d&d used to be also looked down on , its alot more socially acceptable. I was just too scared to try larping but I think I'm going to give it a try after this!

      Hahaha long gone are the days of wearing grandmas knitted hoodie as chainmail. Most LARPers try to be good roleplayers, it‘s just hard not breaking Characters 24/7, and nowdays it‘s good behavior to wear your story on your clothing.
      I think you will have your fun, just avoid the people who only go to a LARP to fight and emphasis on nothing else but fighting. RPing a military group can be fun, it won‘t be for you, and neither is it for me, if everybody breaks character as soon as they hit camp and recovered from their wounds.

    I'm a 30 year+ player, I moved to making costume full time about 12 years ago. It has been the longest constant in my life, and I will probably play and trade unil I am no longer physically able to do so. I am mainly a UK player although based in France. Any US /Canada players who want to play over here in Europe, with The games put on by Profound Decisions (Empire 2.5k players each event 4 times a year) or Curious Pastimes (1k or less also 4 times a year, normally a week before of after PD events) Then drop me a message, I normally have a couple of seats spare in the camper van for the 2 day drive up through France to the UK, and can pick up from local airports.

    The problem I see with LARPing getting big is, eventually, some cocky business major is gonna try and franchise the whole thing and make the whole thing popular and accessible, which are good things, but ultimately stale and soulless.

    • @anblueboot5364
      @anblueboot5364 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I mean „Drachenfest“ and the company wyvern behind it, are becoming a franchise and getting overseas to america and I think Australia. We are already at that point. People look at Mytholon and even Burgschneider (who make some of the nicer clothings one has easy access to) and call them stale and soulless. If you wear Burgschneider everybody will know from looking at you.
      In the end the nice thing is, we people own the hobby and we can support who we want to support and from my experience: once your gear has reached a decent standard, one will automaticly look for the nice niche upgrades be it in form a clothing, weapon, armor etc. I love my 70 euros higher end of quality leg wraps. just a simple piece of clothing and such a big upgrade but before that I ran around with my cheaply made selfmade ones made out of leftover fabric.

    My biggest problem with LARP compared to TTRPGs is the fact that I can't play my favorite characters at a LARP.
    Im MtF trans, 6'2'' tall and not at all passing for how I want to look. My characters are all women, mostly cis women as well. They are often not particularly tall, around 5'2'', and has very feminine features. Thats because I play into what I want to, you know, be playing. What I feel comfortable playing.
    I dont get that from LARP, like, at all. LARP is a fun day, but often leaves me uncomfortable in my own body at the end, and not at all satisfied.

      @@DragonCyrus hi, sorry for the late reply.
      Yeah, I completely get that. It is also why I don't fault larp anything. It is just, on the sheer basis that you have to physically represent how your character looks, that larp does get hard to get into. I have loved larp. I used to be larp a lot when I was like, 12 to 14/15 years old, but I was never comfortable as my characters. At that point I didn't know why though. Then I found out I was trans at about... 18? with some severe dysphoria to boot, and I haven't really larped since. I have tried. I tried vampire live, some good ol' fantasy, walking dead, some grim dark carbon punk stuff, etc, and it just... Never felt good. I was too uncomfortable in how I look.
      Now, Im also about a whole foot taller than I want to be (not that I can change that) and has relatively pronounced make features from puberty (fuck having conservative parents FUCK!), so I just... Don't feel comfortable. And l know I am not alone.
      Yes, larps are usually really friendly accepting spaces. But it is not always enough to shatter this barrier that keeps someone like me from enjoying it fully. Ya know?

      @@ottekitfun9626 on a joking side: Do it like the Warhammer Dwarfs, get some barrels that reach up to your knee and fix them around your leg. Now you aren‘t tall but standing on barrels.
      But in reality idk what to recommand to you at this point :/ Beside „gotta make compromises“ I‘ve seen from what I nowdays understand as MtF Trans portraying some sort of royalty who had very pronounced male facial features and like you was realy tall and everybody just went with it.
      Nobody questioned them and just roleplayed as if she hadn‘t those features. Nobody broke characters and gave them the respect and treatment they would when confronted with that type of character.
      + I‘m extremly thankfull to the player who corrected my dumb and insensitive behavior. Being young and the sheer lack of awareness + roleplay core rule of „you can do, what you‘re able to portray“ realy didn‘t help me in that moment and lead to me making stupid as hell assumptions. So thank you to that one player who informed me in characters of who that royalty was and if I kept on making bad remarks that my head would roll.
      Something I‘m out of game sorry for nowdays, ones physical appearance shouldn‘t hinder anybody to roleplay the very thing they want to roleplay as or Be who they want to be. Nowdays I don‘t care much about the physical features of a person anymore. The clothing and obviously the roleplay says far more about the character they wanna roleplay than their body.
      If a person is tall and roleplays a dwarf I can look past it, I can look past a beginners gear which might look rubbish to others and hinder them to rp with said person, I can look past male features when presenting and being female is who the person is and wants to portray.
      I guess this barely helps you with your dismorphia and still makes you feel uncomfy when going to a LARP cause you can‘t do the thing to the extend you want to. But idk I hope you will be less harsh with yourself, I‘m sure you would do fine.
      Best wishes and hope you find a way for you to live with that whole situation v.v
