  • Big ol’ post below:

    Every LARP has a different system, which in our game is light-touch(1) and kinda light-hearted. We use latex weapons like those from Forgotten Dreams and Mytholon (two manufacturers I know of off hand), and there’s a hit point system, and vocally called damage and skills with different effects.

    Example: Hitting an opponent and calling “Strength 5” indicates to the opponent that they need to take 5 steps away from the attacker in the direction the attacker chooses. They also take basic weapon damage of 1 HP in this transaction.

    While every LARP has its own system, there is a lot of overlap because of the limitations presented by a physical (ie. in-person) system. You can do a way larger swath of things in a tabletop.

    Look for LARPs in your area online, and I’m sure you’ll find a few.


    (1)Different games handle it differently, but we have players stemming from single digits to upper double digits, and we try to be accommodating to the needs of a diverse age group with varying degrees of disability.


  • Seriously, you’d think people could just be happy for someone’s happiness, instead of being miserable. I’m over those feelings. You don’t have to like the same stuff to get along.

    Primary motto: Do your best not to hurt anyone, but otherwise do what you want. Enjoy life while you have it.

    Secondary motto: Enjoy seeing other people’s happiness. Sometimes giving up something (small) you want for someone else to have something they really want (or even need) feels even better.

    Have fun, and do good. Thanks for your kind words 😊
