For those who do not know
it it, LARP stands for Live Action Role Playing. You create a
character that meets the requirements and rules of the game and
you'll be that character for the whole weekend (unless you get
killed...)
For some time I have been
considering trying this out but it's really expensive if you aren't
handy like me since you probably end up buying everything instead of
making it. That's, beside that I am extremely shy, one of the reason
I have never tried it. My interest in LARP peaked again at the Elf
Fantasy Fair and I have decided try it out. Now I have just need to
find an event on a suitable date.
I am going to try out as
an extra so I don't have to buy all those expensive equipment from
the start, in case I don't like it (how can I not like playing
someone else in a fantasy world?) My BF has agreed to try it as well!
If it works out, I still
have a dilemma of what kind of character I want to play... Rogue
style, with daggers, dual wielding shorts swords or bows (or a
combination) and all clad in leather seems a very cool way to go. But
a magi or a druid seems very cool as well. Only problem : I have
never used a bow before...
But this is still
something for in the future. Maybe I can roleplay my character at the
next Elf Fantasy Fair or something! I will add a blog about the Elf
Fantasy Fair soon! Perhaps even tomorrow or the day after...
