Hell yeah, these kinds of festivals are the ultimate expression of people genuinely having authentic fun while being themselves. And I love how inclusive it is, as long as you're having fun, you're welcome there and there will be people to connect with. it's absolutely awesome.
I would probably have a mental breakdown if I hiked through the woods and saw an army of ppl dressed in armor and medieval clothing marching towards me
You can actually volunteer and go there basically for free in exchange ;) Was a volunteer there for 3 years! The more hours you give to them, the less you pay + you have access to all the cool volunteer and secret parties :D
How much does it cost to go? I don't see prices for the packages. Of course, the saying goes if you have to ask you can't afford it, but it'd be nice to know how much to save for such an event.
@@MementoMorrigan Ah, fair. Well, do they have LARP armies there for you to lead? Tbh, I'm not really one to talk since I've never actually larped, but I just felt like being all, "go forth and follow your dreams"...
@@MementoMorrigan Hm, I don't know if you already know about this or whether you'd count it, but there's a smaller Larp youtuber I watch sometimes called " TamwiseTravels" and I think she is (or was, she might be in Japan now, I'm behind) in Australia and she does this Larp called Swordcraft in Melbourne. They have "warbands" at least, which essentially seem like armies. You could probably refer to leading one of those as leading an army...
Omg, this is actually crazy. The king you talked about is my freaking gym teacher (at around 12:15). He always talks about how he goes to "Grandeur Nature" events. I was so not expecting him to show up in this. Had a good laugh haha!
hoho hihi well that's better than mine! she accused my friend of sexually abusing her ( and she's older than his mother)and she even accused us again of having sex in the changeroom. she's a psycho .
It gets better eventually. I used be be completely unable to speak to anyone outside my family and I once didn’t go outside for 2 years. Now I am outside frequently and make new friends all the time.
I can imagine being that noble who shouts at the Vickings going "shut the hell up in the name of all the gods ,it's 2 in the god forsaken morning" Probably followed by "bloody savages"
when i was a kid: -nerd : stay at inside and play D&D and/or MTG -Chad : go outside play ball Today -nerd : go outside for a week and LARP -chad : stay at inside and play fantasy football / console how the tides have turned
me: holy shit this looks awesome language barriers, the fact that I'm not out of high school yet, and my strict parents: I'm about to ruin this girl's whole career
tbh french isn’t too bad once you get started. start with french subtitles on netflix and very basic phrases, then read books for french students- i studied french and i read “la france en danger et les secrets de Picasso”. once you become intermediate, reading kids’ books in french you already know in english helps.
@@makkermoo8820 pleeeease update on how it goes, i cant wait until i get to go to my first one and i would love to hear more from an inside perspective! :)
Bicolline will always be the place that I connect with our friendship blossoming. Cheers to our future tiny home, tea cup village. Thank you for this video.
I love that people will talk casually to you during the Larp in battle. It gives me reassurence to know that people are really nice in Larps and to have a friend with ya to join in the fun. 😁 8:13
ikr its like oh im a really big fan of yours. you changed your hair thats nice *shoots with arrow* yeah i really like your channel alot you inspired me to larp. *swings sword at her*
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA nice day isnt it AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA you sure you are drinking enough water? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I served as the Herald to the King of a faire in Kingdom City Missouri (Central Mo Ren Faire) for many years and was forced to retire from Larping on this scale after I was diagnosed with an illness that inhibited my ability to stand for very long. I can't express in words how much I miss it but seeing you all enjoy it so much gives this old Scotsman a hearty smile. Even though the Kingdom of Talahmn Ni Croix has fallen, thank you for helping remember that it lives on in my heart.
I feel you! My POTS diagnosis means no standing for long periods for me either. Doing something like this looks incredibly fun, but I don't see it happening. I guess I'll just enjoy my annual visit to our local Ren-Fest and try to be happy with that.
@@jammyjammich it's been about 5 years since I've been but it was quaint in size at that time and still growing. If the Quebec Faire is Walt Disney world, this is Disneyland. Enough to keep you entertained for a day or so.
I wish we did this kind of stuff in asia. Unfortunately, simply cosplaying for a few hours as it is, is already seen as weird, much less larping at an event of this scale and duration
Honestly my dying wish is to make it to one of these things. I didn’t even know these existed. I visit the Holly ren fest in Michigan annually, and I’d absolutely a d o r e going full roleplay but since I’m nineteen and I go with my mom and her bf, I just don’t have the chance without it being really awkward. Wish I had friends and money to do this LOL. I’ll have to work on it, maybe some day.
for some reason, I was really worried about larping as an asian person. Especially in medieval settings. I just feel like I'd be out of place, but seeing some asian people in the mix really made me happy and feel a lot better about larping! quq
It can also be a blessing, since i'd feel wierd if i were larping as someone from an asian culture as im an European. And asia had some really interesting cultures with that differed alot from european cultures, that you can base your kit on and stand out from the rest.
You're welcome in LARPs !! And if you find some racists assholes (sadly they are in every sports and funs), report them, ask for support and help ! LARP is supposed to feel great and welcoming for everyone !
Just think you are an emissary from Cathay that came in Europe or a soldier that fought with the Mongolians when they invaded and then decided to settle in lol. Asians were actually kind of common in some places of irl medieval europe Oh btw, im asian too lol
So I had my phone interview with the voyage north and when they said “how did you hear about us?” I answered “a TH-cam video!” And the guy on the phone excitedly said “mo mo?!” And I said yes and he told me that you’re just as amazing in person as you are in your videos and it made my heart smile.
Damn...that song during the march to the battle was so hype !! Metal clanking,the sound of the boots while marching and people getting ready!! I wish i had more free time...
Scarlet Skinner I wanna go so I can role play as a Völva (kinda like a Viking witch) and go around and sing weird folks tales and verses in Swedish. Would be so dope
It'll help. I'm using it as a coping mechanism for my bipolar disorder and I have severe anxiety and depression from it. Take the leap, you won't regret it.
LunaFox 45 you’re not to young for that place I’ve seen babies there. You’re juste 4 years to young for the final fight but you can still fight other people outside of the main fight.
Okay, first of all I am really happy Bicolline exist. But I am impress by the editing and the takes in this video! Thank you, momo!!! ¡Muchas gracias por compartir algo tan especial con nosotros! Greeting from Costa Rica ;)
People, watching the video : wow nice music Me, a French intellectual : *LA JUMENT DE MICHAO ET SON PETIT POULAIIIIIN A PASSÉ DANS LE PRÉ ET MANGÉ TOUT LE FOIIIIIIIIIN*
They do have them though? England's medieval festival, tewksbury medieval festival, loxwood joust, And (although in scotland) traquair medieval fayre just to name the first few that come up on a Google search 😂
@@rachstone9491 Huh, I've been looking on and off for years but so many have been cancelled, much more rigidly historical or just no longer happening. Clearly I need to have a harder look around 😀
The place looks awesome. I love the idea of this living and growing village. But there is this huge lake called Atlantic between me and this event :/. However, if you ever have the change to come to Germany in august you should visit Conquest of Mythodea. It is the largest Larp in Europe with 7000+ Player and NPCs. Also a week long. Just a hint, Burgschneider is the owner of the company organizing the Conquest of Mythodea.
@@variableaxis9652 no, there a kids, you can go at any age, but you must be 18 to do the war and stay overnight, i think. Unless you can stay overnight but you can't do too much if you're younger and it'd be pretty boring bc not many ppl bring their kids bc of how expensive it is
With the voyage north I think the min age is 15 or 16 BUT you have to have an adult with you if you’re under 18. And you can’t join the battle if you aren’t 18. We have some people signed up for the 2020 (now the 2021 cause yeah) game who are 16 and turning 17.
I’m crying. Literally all I’ve ever wanted to do, people I’ve always wanted as friends... so far away from me. I’m the only person I know who’s so into medieval stuff and renaissance fairs and wants to larp and have stories. I’m glad there’s other girls out there like me. I just wish I had friends like you 😞
My first trip to Bico I just recovered from 11 years of life halting anxiety. I contacted some people who go to Bico and they said they'd let me stay with their guild. I posted online I needed someone from my area to carpool with and a stranger said they needed a ride. I drove ten hours to a place I had never been, with a stranger, to tent with strangers, and I didn't know french lol. My carpool stranger is now one of my best friends, the guild I stayed with are all dear friends I only see at Bico. Go! Make amazing friends to visit each summer. It's an adventure that is so worth it.
I actually want to go there so badly it makes me physically uncomfortable Like, I've always been obsessed with the history. For a long time, since I was little, I'd have daydreams of adult me gathering a group of similar history fanatics so we could build a medieval village and live there. To see it actually existing feels... unreal. And the fact that you can build a summerhouse there? One day, little, your dreams will come true. And the leaders speech, although very simple, was ridiculously motivating. I was sitting, feeling the adrenaline rush through me, with a strange thirst for war and action. I always was competitive as hell, bur this was new. Unexperienced bloodlust. You better bet I'll be learning French just for the sake of increasing my experience there.
Hope I will be able to come eventually but now seeing this makes me want to come more I play rogue in dnd and larp is somthing I have always wanted to play now knowing that people can kill your character will definitely add some more adventure and a kind of. Paranoia and it is fun trying to find out who has it for you beofore you find somthing that marks you for death also it’s nice to know somthing that may be coming
Thunder Storm fan mode I too have played my fair share of rogues in dnd haha. No one is allowed to permanently kill your character without permission at bico, but there are plenty of assassinations that go on still. Basically just like in the battles at bico, you die, and you go respawn. Hope that makes sense. They’re SUPER fun none the less. I completed around 5 assassinations during the week of bico 2018, and actually ended up making real money out of it! There’s truly nothing else like Bico
Tahari Withers I figured that out as a dnd player I know some spells that can heal and revive (I also have seen a half orc pile of ash reform in dnd once yeah that was wierd but then again first game ever) still it’s nice to know about what dangers may lie ahead for characters (my first dnd character was a fighter with 9hp saved my butt with an insane ac for a first-second lv character).
Thunder Storm fan mode nice lol. Yeah there can be people around every corner waiting to kill you at bico. Just depends on who you make your friends and who you make your enemies haha. Also a pretty big part of bico’s land is a KOS (kill on sight) zone, which is cool. Big fields and woods around the giant fort is the KOS zone, and there are really long trails that you can take around there as well. Cool place
Common misconception I've noticed is the use of the bows. I know it's not important but medieval archers didn't use quivers. They usually held their arrows in either their bow hand or their shooting hand and shot from the right side of the bow so they could ready their arrows quicker. It's not important but just interesting ^^
They did both. They could hold a bunch of arrows in a quiver then they could take a handful and fire arrows while they are holding on the arrows they just picked up. That sounds more logical then plainly holding on arrows until they can be fired.
I’d played as the “Outcast”.... basically they called me a “WITCH” every time... But I actually liked my role tho, I only have to scare them off that’s all😂😂😂😂😂
I know that purple monster!!! My friends made that!!! Gargoyle Forge on Facebook if you want to check them out, they do custom weapons if you’re interested
3:50 the fact that you can actually build your own little home on the land there for your own character IS F'ING DOPE! that's SO COOL! This is might be the most absolutely amazing combination of role-playing, social interaction and community, battle, battle recreation and night life i've ever seen! THIS LOOKS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. This is not just larp, this is a whole OTHER AMAING thing on it's own. I mean there is definitely larp, but there is also the combat and community partying.
Kids can go, but they cannot participate in the battle, and im not sure if they can sleep overnight bc of all the parties and drinking that tends to go on. Bicolline is normally 18+ but during the day kids can be there.
waRR waRR she did get killed stabbed by that guy she was talking to earlier cause she was a bounty for a bit. lol. And Im definitely sure there’s plenty of them there. Lol. Sneak in, make friends, then kill them all. HAHA
@@stedfastcupid9828 I literally spend like a few months to make a awesome medieval assassin's suit with real knives and a beautiful bow... Just hadn't had a chance to wear it but now I know we're I am going
i want to go so bad. it reminds me of how kid-me used to see the SCA when it was the first glimpse i saw of this world. i'd love to take my parents here one day
Looks great, I wish we still lived like this. There's NO reason we can't blend technology and tradition, instead of this modern concrete alien hellhole that every city has become around the world.
Waited for this video for soo long. I want to go to Bico as soon as possible. I'm working on my character and ideas, might have to buy a couple of weapon, learn 2-3 medieval song with the violin and yeah ! For anyone who is scared about the french province of canada, don't worry, we all speak a bit of english, some from yes-no-toaster, to others being perfectly bilingual. We just have laws haha .... Surely the reason why Bicoline website is in French and not in English (which would be best) is because of Quebec law 101. Since Bicolline is considered a quebec company, the first language they use should be french if not, they pay tickets to the province.
@Krabbelfiech Deutsche Larperin hier: Bicolline sieht unfassbar toll aus - aber es gibt deutsche LARP-Cons die mindestens so geil, und für dich vermutlich deutlich erreichbarer (und bezahlbarer) sind😉
Zargonof There are definitely more affordable options. The chepeast would probably be to tent in the non-decorum area, though it’s really out of the way. The voyage north is honestly worth it though. For convenience, but also it’s really nice to be automatically put into a community at bicolline that speaks the same language as you. You feel a lot more at home at camp.
Nothing against the Ordo Cervi or the March wardens the voyage north does have its convenience. I know the Covent of the black rose does a amazing package for a great price as well other guilds also do similar even bicolline themselves do a package. Also the black rose are a great group of people. But there are other vacation package options that offer what TVN offers as well but in a smaller more personal level for cheaper. Also I enjoyed the video.
@@parlour_ghost I can not tell you what they charge now but in 2016 I spent over 1200 usd for the basics which is double what I spent to go last year 2018. I didnt use TVN after 2016 I went with another guild.
omg! i never knew such a place existed, I've always felt like i should of been born in the medieval era. You said you weren't a princess yet but you looked like a princess
Mo Mo O'Brien, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for your amazing videos. You have given me the courage and idea to begin going to Renascence festivals and begin larping. Thank you. Tomorrow is my first big day of larp. I am going as a Celtic Archer with a fox headdress.

Damn...that song during the march to the battle was so hype !! Metal clanking,the sound of the boots while marching and people getting ready!! I wish i had more free time...
Iron Forge the song is ‘roll the old chariot’ it’s a sea shanty that like all shanties is able to have lyrics changed with location or intention!
@@dragonicwolf234 Except for the drop o' Nelson's Blood. Ya HAVE to have the drop o' Nelson's Blood. XD
@@lorrosdorborin4790 I will forever have a drop o' Nelson's Blood in any iterations of Roll the Chariot I sing while working

Right...
A+ for this comment
I have seen a glimpse of Valhalla... and it looks like Bicoline. I. MUST. GO.
Scarlet Skinner I wanna go so I can role play as a Völva (kinda like a Viking witch) and go around and sing weird folks tales and verses in Swedish. Would be so dope
Fighting in day and feast at night love it😁
Man this looks like SOOOO much fun!! I wish I wasnt the most anti-social anxious person in the world x'D
It'll help. I'm using it as a coping mechanism for my bipolar disorder and I have severe anxiety and depression from it. Take the leap, you won't regret it.
Ikr.
I wish I wasn’t 12 and too young to go to any of these sort of things
Easy fix, play a character that’s not anti social and anxious.
LunaFox 45 you’re not to young for that place I’ve seen babies there. You’re juste 4 years to young for the final fight but you can still fight other people outside of the main fight.
Okay, first of all I am really happy Bicolline exist. But I am impress by the editing and the takes in this video!
Thank you, momo!!! ¡Muchas gracias por compartir algo tan especial con nosotros! Greeting from Costa Rica ;)
me: this looks so fun!
extreme laziness, work, student loans: she really thought
I need a friend to go there with 🙏
None of my friends are into medieval stuff :[
A I love medieval stuff 😂
this is not medieval stuff lol
I’ll go with you!
Those singing mermaids give me LIFE
People, watching the video : wow nice music
Me, a French intellectual : *LA JUMENT DE MICHAO ET SON PETIT POULAIIIIIN A PASSÉ DANS LE PRÉ ET MANGÉ TOUT LE FOIIIIIIIIIN*

Lol what
HAHAHAHA
@@furiou5phoenix571 lol what
Bruuh X'DD J'connais même pas les paroles moi...
*continues to resent the absence of renaissance faires in England*
Welp, there's always Castlefest in the Netherlands.
They do have them though? England's medieval festival, tewksbury medieval festival, loxwood joust, And (although in scotland) traquair medieval fayre just to name the first few that come up on a Google search 😂
@@rachstone9491 Huh, I've been looking on and off for years but so many have been cancelled, much more rigidly historical or just no longer happening. Clearly I need to have a harder look around 😀
Herstmenceux (I don’t know the spelling) in Essex has a medieval festival in Summer
@@AyleeEliza ^ Yes! Herstmonceux Castle hosts a renfaire on its grounds in August!
@@tess_mcfloof true. Next year I’m going for sure. It’s close to my city as well😌
The place looks awesome. I love the idea of this living and growing village. But there is this huge lake called Atlantic between me and this event :/.
However, if you ever have the change to come to Germany in august you should visit Conquest of Mythodea. It is the largest Larp in Europe with 7000+ Player and NPCs. Also a week long.
Just a hint, Burgschneider is the owner of the company organizing the Conquest of Mythodea.
How old do you have to be to go to this. I’m really wanting to.
My bank account: “No you really shouldn’t. Maybe some other time” *sweats*
I believe you have to be 18
@@variableaxis9652 no, there a kids, you can go at any age, but you must be 18 to do the war and stay overnight, i think. Unless you can stay overnight but you can't do too much if you're younger and it'd be pretty boring bc not many ppl bring their kids bc of how expensive it is
With the voyage north I think the min age is 15 or 16 BUT you have to have an adult with you if you’re under 18. And you can’t join the battle if you aren’t 18. We have some people signed up for the 2020 (now the 2021 cause yeah) game who are 16 and turning 17.
Lord Keltain I’m actually turning 18 in September
21
that shot of Connor at 6:42 legit felt like it was right out of Lord of the Rings
Ive been keeping an eye out for conner because he literally looks so different in every video, bu yeah its a pretty fuckin epic shot
damn this was a freaking short film.
It's been 84 years
AAAAAAAh this so coool
I’m crying. Literally all I’ve ever wanted to do, people I’ve always wanted as friends... so far away from me. I’m the only person I know who’s so into medieval stuff and renaissance fairs and wants to larp and have stories. I’m glad there’s other girls out there like me. I just wish I had friends like you 😞
My first trip to Bico I just recovered from 11 years of life halting anxiety. I contacted some people who go to Bico and they said they'd let me stay with their guild. I posted online I needed someone from my area to carpool with and a stranger said they needed a ride.
I drove ten hours to a place I had never been, with a stranger, to tent with strangers, and I didn't know french lol.
My carpool stranger is now one of my best friends, the guild I stayed with are all dear friends I only see at Bico.
Go!
Make amazing friends to visit each summer. It's an adventure that is so worth it.
I actually want to go there so badly it makes me physically uncomfortable
Like, I've always been obsessed with the history. For a long time, since I was little, I'd have daydreams of adult me gathering a group of similar history fanatics so we could build a medieval village and live there. To see it actually existing feels... unreal. And the fact that you can build a summerhouse there? One day, little, your dreams will come true.
And the leaders speech, although very simple, was ridiculously motivating. I was sitting, feeling the adrenaline rush through me, with a strange thirst for war and action. I always was competitive as hell, bur this was new. Unexperienced bloodlust. You better bet I'll be learning French just for the sake of increasing my experience there.
Lots of fun helping orchestrate your assassination XD! Comin back next year??
Tahari Withers No unfortunately. Way to busy. But have fun! Thanks for killing me!
Hope I will be able to come eventually but now seeing this makes me want to come more
I play rogue in dnd and larp is somthing I have always wanted to play now knowing that people can kill your character will definitely add some more adventure and a kind of. Paranoia and it is fun trying to find out who has it for you beofore you find somthing that marks you for death also it’s nice to know somthing that may be coming
Thunder Storm fan mode I too have played my fair share of rogues in dnd haha. No one is allowed to permanently kill your character without permission at bico, but there are plenty of assassinations that go on still. Basically just like in the battles at bico, you die, and you go respawn. Hope that makes sense. They’re SUPER fun none the less. I completed around 5 assassinations during the week of bico 2018, and actually ended up making real money out of it! There’s truly nothing else like Bico
Tahari Withers I figured that out as a dnd player I know some spells that can heal and revive (I also have seen a half orc pile of ash reform in dnd once yeah that was wierd but then again first game ever) still it’s nice to know about what dangers may lie ahead for characters (my first dnd character was a fighter with 9hp saved my butt with an insane ac for a first-second lv character).
Thunder Storm fan mode nice lol. Yeah there can be people around every corner waiting to kill you at bico. Just depends on who you make your friends and who you make your enemies haha. Also a pretty big part of bico’s land is a KOS (kill on sight) zone, which is cool. Big fields and woods around the giant fort is the KOS zone, and there are really long trails that you can take around there as well. Cool place
I absolutely NEED a full video of the mermaids/niads singing "The Parting Glass"! Amazing video, Momo, stay happy and full of whimsy ❤
Sings we're bound away for Australia - proceeds to do Shoeys XD. Love it
Omg I'm so happy TH-cam recommended this to me
Common misconception I've noticed is the use of the bows. I know it's not important but medieval archers didn't use quivers. They usually held their arrows in either their bow hand or their shooting hand and shot from the right side of the bow so they could ready their arrows quicker. It's not important but just interesting ^^
They did both.
They could hold a bunch of arrows in a quiver then they could take a handful and fire arrows while they are holding on the arrows they just picked up.
That sounds more logical then plainly holding on arrows until they can be fired.
I’d played as the “Outcast”.... basically they called me a “WITCH” every time...
But I actually liked my role tho, I only have to scare them off that’s all😂😂😂😂😂
Your lucky i was a dwarfd.. lots of people under 5.3 were dwarf.
I got my tea in one hand and a Poptart in another...
*Time to watch another amazing video by momo'*
LIFE IS GOOD!~
Bear's Audio Emporium CEDAR HOLY CRAP- I DIDNT EXPECT TO SEE YOU HERE. Hi! 👋 Nice to see you, hope you’re doing well
b.....BEAR WHAT hello omg just seeing ur name is a nice surprise
Yes on the pop tart no on the tea☕
I know that purple monster!!! My friends made that!!! Gargoyle Forge on Facebook if you want to check them out, they do custom weapons if you’re interested
nice, thanks for the head up !
always wanted to legally hit someone. lmao i want to go there, but i'd be so shy '(
anxiet_y chills me too 😢
Let’s round up the shy peeps and all go together.
Vanessa Red Yes!
Vanessa Red shy peeps unite!
@@vanessared765 I'm down for that 👍
3:50 the fact that you can actually build your own little home on the land there for your own character IS F'ING DOPE! that's SO COOL! This is might be the most absolutely amazing combination of role-playing, social interaction and community, battle, battle recreation and night life i've ever seen! THIS LOOKS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. This is not just larp, this is a whole OTHER AMAING thing on it's own. I mean there is definitely larp, but there is also the combat and community partying.
i was like "i wanna battle!" ten secons later "ooh ukulele!"
Edit: WAIT KIDS GO THERE PLEASE REPLY
KayKay Vlogs kids can go yes
Kids can go, but they cannot participate in the battle, and im not sure if they can sleep overnight bc of all the parties and drinking that tends to go on. Bicolline is normally 18+ but during the day kids can be there.
Not realistic enough. I dont see thieves and assassins roaming. Oh wait, you wont know if they are one........ Nevermind.
waRR waRR she did get killed stabbed by that guy she was talking to earlier cause she was a bounty for a bit. lol. And Im definitely sure there’s plenty of them there. Lol. Sneak in, make friends, then kill them all. HAHA
I would totally be a assassin
@@stedfastcupid9828 I literally spend like a few months to make a awesome medieval assassin's suit with real knives and a beautiful bow... Just hadn't had a chance to wear it but now I know we're I am going
it looks more like a thematic party, no one is poor and everybody eats the same, its fun but not realistic
I see one creeping in the background around 11:33. XD
Wow Momo I think this is my favorite video you ever done!!! I want to go so bad ❤️
“Another person died...again”
“I didn’t eat that one this time”
I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE!!! Every time I watch it I get crazy excited!!!
YESSSS, MOMO! SLAY!
(literally)
You sewing in the car with the bumps gave me anxiety 😂
And I cried. I can’t wait to go home to these beautiful surroundings with all of these beautiful people.
Who else is watching this in 2023 for the much needed vibe?
Mo mo: “I just want to be a Viking warrior babe. And a princess. At the same time.” Astrid: Allow me to introduce myself
I’m so happy to know that Bicolline is in Quebec! Finally a larp somewhere where I live!
"Another person died, again."
"Okay, I did not eat that one-"
i want to go so bad. it reminds me of how kid-me used to see the SCA when it was the first glimpse i saw of this world. i'd love to take my parents here one day
Looks great, I wish we still lived like this. There's NO reason we can't blend technology and tradition, instead of this modern concrete alien hellhole that every city has become around the world.
Yes! Agreed!
ay my gym teacher is in this! 12:15 lmao he's the king oh damn
Wish my gym teacher was this cool
Waited for this video for soo long. I want to go to Bico as soon as possible. I'm working on my character and ideas, might have to buy a couple of weapon, learn 2-3 medieval song with the violin and yeah !
For anyone who is scared about the french province of canada, don't worry, we all speak a bit of english, some from yes-no-toaster, to others being perfectly bilingual. We just have laws haha .... Surely the reason why Bicoline website is in French and not in English (which would be best) is because of Quebec law 101. Since Bicolline is considered a quebec company, the first language they use should be french if not, they pay tickets to the province.
It’s my dream to one day be part of Bicolline 😍😍
Is it possible to go there even if you are from Germany ?
i believe it should be as long as you're in whatever age range they accept and things like that
I go from remote Australia. So yes. Yes it's possible
@Krabbelfiech Deutsche Larperin hier: Bicolline sieht unfassbar toll aus - aber es gibt deutsche LARP-Cons die mindestens so geil, und für dich vermutlich deutlich erreichbarer (und bezahlbarer) sind😉
Spotsy Cat okay thank you 😊
Coco Sagittaria ah okay danke 😊 was für cons kannst du empfehlen? 😁
"I'm really a big fan of you..." +5 when rolling Charisma! ;-)
Damn, i live in quebec and i had no clue this existed in my whole lifetime waw
I love how when you hit some one you pat them with the sword.😂
OMG! I live in Montreal, but I was unknowingly super close to Bicolline a few weeks ago, at the Camp Lac Vert! The world is sooo small!
The website for bico has a English setting and the voyage north is expensive but there are other mor affordable options.
Zargonof There are definitely more affordable options. The chepeast would probably be to tent in the non-decorum area, though it’s really out of the way.
The voyage north is honestly worth it though. For convenience, but also it’s really nice to be automatically put into a community at bicolline that speaks the same language as you. You feel a lot more at home at camp.
Nothing against the Ordo Cervi or the March wardens the voyage north does have its convenience. I know the Covent of the black rose does a amazing package for a great price as well other guilds also do similar even bicolline themselves do a package. Also the black rose are a great group of people. But there are other vacation package options that offer what TVN offers as well but in a smaller more personal level for cheaper. Also I enjoyed the video.
I'm sure the price of TVN varies, but approximately how much is it?
@@parlour_ghost I can not tell you what they charge now but in 2016 I spent over 1200 usd for the basics which is double what I spent to go last year 2018. I didnt use TVN after 2016 I went with another guild.
@@Zargonof How do you find other guilds if you haven't been before? My Google skills are failing me.
The effort you out into this shines through xx
This video is the cornerstone of the golden age of LARP that I miss dearly. You did a wonderful thing documenting this experience.
omg! i never knew such a place existed, I've always felt like i should of been born in the medieval era. You said you weren't a princess yet but you looked like a princess
18:03 Holy shit how did that person make that and bring it there?? That costume is AMAZING!!
ahh look at that
another thing for my bucket list
At 12:45 I nearly spat my drink out because the guy in the blue shirt looks almost IDENTICAL to Alexander Ludwig from Vikings.
i’m SO glad this video is back! one of my biggest comforts lol
When she says hydrate or die-drate, so quick and sincere, I died.
I was honestly sad when the video ended...and true,bicolline is the most hardcore partying event IN THE WORLD
I can’t wait to be able to afford this. It’s on my bucket list for sure! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I love that you met a fan on the battlefield
And you said pleasure to murder you
Mo Mo O'Brien, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for your amazing videos. You have given me the courage and idea to begin going to Renascence festivals and begin larping. Thank you. Tomorrow is my first big day of larp. I am going as a Celtic Archer with a fox headdress.
Finally my conversational fluency in French has a use besides being a gen ed requirement for my degree :')
