So glad to have this close by. We are texans and were planning on going to Bicolinne. Now we can try this out next year much closer. If we like this, we'll go up there!
If this existed near me when I was in high school I would have been so into it. My martial arts friends and I used to play a samurai roleplay game we made up. We would each separate out in the the woods and take turns where one person is the main character. You had to beat the others hidden in the woods and if you won they joined your party. It was so much fun but it pales in comparison to this. Sucks being a rural geek sometimes. I hope to attend this one day, but until then just D&D and kendo I guess.
How very interesting to see another larp, I plan a trip to Bico next year, but this has definitely caught my eye. thank you for covering it so well, so much info.
Well this was a fun discovery. LARP is so much fun and it's a bit tricky to find channels that specialize in it. This looks like a fun game as well. Although I doubt that I'll ever be going to it in person. Would be fun to hear the stories of what happens in it.
Thank you for making this video! I love Sherwood and this seems like a great next step. But as a Texan who is always too hot in our medieval garb, I'm dreaming of Bicolline and cool weather :)
It is only a few hundred at the moment. It can always grow. Also I have been looking for a beginner friendly Larp as I have been a table top guy for most of my life.
Btw just for anyone watching this video, they have a weekend pass now for those who can’t spend a whole week in Hynafol. It’s all DIY so you need to bring your own tent and food. The price I believe is $197 so it’s also the cheapest one I’ve seen.
I believe some sections are available to all and some are limited to active players. there is a link in the description where you can join the discord as well as on the website.
Okay, Hynafolers. I've been looking over the Guilds and Religions, and I keep seeing references in the Guilds to Religions that aren't listed in the Religion guide. I'm researching the Hellfire guild but have no idea who Salazaar is.
best to pose that question in the discord group as someone will be able to fill you in on the answers you need there easier than here. Thanks for watching!
The past day I've been doing a bit of a deep dive and I'm so curious and extremely interested. I do have to ask, when you character dies, does it mean game over?
Within the story when you die you are revived at the edge of the mysts with the last 30 minutes of your memory wiped clean. Your character can only be permanently killed with the players consent
I have yet to get an awnser but maybe you were able to have the info. Do you have to camp on site or can you leave to go home and return in the morning?
This isn't a negative criticism, but what does Hynafol offer that isn't direct "inspiration" from Bicolline? This sounds like american Bicolline, which is cool, but it seems like a direct copy.
A big differentiator for me is the amount of roleplay. At Bico we’re basically camping in garb with a few opportunities to roleplay, whereas with Hynafol the roleplay is always on.
I actually made your video from the first year! (I didn't go last year) BTW.. PLEASE! As a Welsh speaker.. it's pronounced "Hen a val"! not "Hi na fall" HAHA.. even though the organizers keep saying it wrong. BHAAAHAAA
feel free to go to the website and hit the application button. They will setup a time to interview and all your questions and concerns can be answered! Just because you apply doesn't mean you are agreeing to anything. They want you to feel comfortable with the experience!
@@MrSqueamishJam Considering the process involved in the creation of videos of this quality, there is usually a team and an approving authority who likely isn't the videographer themself, especially as it isn't the videography itself that causes me concern. As it seems you were unaware, I can see how your suggestion may seem a logical course of action. Thank you for your attempt at some level of assistance, but I have since received the information I need to make constructive criticism through the proper sources. Enjoy your day!
I really, really hate to be this person but it is called Castle de Amber. The amazing experience of being a person who is trapped by the story but entirely free to do what you'd want to do.
We have different priorities and have not been running long enough to build the kit level you see in Europe. It is not fair to compare a larp where people have been only playing for 2 years vs people doing it for 20
@@murph8977 But wasn't larp invented in the US? I am not sure if it is due to US laws and courts, but why don't the weapons looks like weapons, but more like foam sticks.
@@axell964 The term larp is used prettly loosely in the US. You will have games where the role play and immersion is an afterthought with the combat being the main purpose. Games like Dagorhir is like this and use the foam sitcks since they swing faster and are safer to hit full force with. Games like hynafol as striving for more imersive look so almost al the weapons are from the same munfacturers you see in Europe.
As a european, I really had to cringe when you said it was a purpose build medivial european town. This looks nothing like anything that ever existed anywhere in europe in the middle ages, its more like a cheap disney copy of it. Everything looks so fake. It might be a great larp, cannot really say anything about that, but the town its located in has nothing to do with europe, neither historical nor modern.
@@sanguillotine Noone will ever build a real historical town for a larp. It is also not expected most of the time. But do not call it medivial if it is not even remotely so. Beside, some larps here take place at actual, historical castles, but noone would build a castle just for larp.

So glad to have this close by. We are texans and were planning on going to Bicolinne. Now we can try this out next year much closer. If we like this, we'll go up there!
Also so sick they have showers and bathrooms normally.
That’s amazing! Glad it was helpful! See you at both events then cuz you’re gonna love it!
@CursedCryxn the showers are really nice.
Bicolinne is crazy. I flew from Australia to go
This Larp is such a great time both the Grand Gathering and the regular Gatherings plus there is a Ball.
So good!

We played a similar game where we captured land through combat
Wow, I’m so glad this showed up on my recommended page. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for!!
Glad it was helpful! go to their website and apply and see if it works for you! They will be glad to help you figure it out if so!
Looking forward to seeing everyone again and sharing brews. (Bearclaw)
can't wait for November!!
I can't wait to go again this year has been so much fun the last two years
its gets better every year!
Sherwood is our home in the Spring, this event looks absolutely incredible. Hope to be able to attend in the future!
I love this event and can't wait for it every year!! Looking forward to this year!!
Hecccccccck yeah!
The best experience I’ve ever done with just the very best people 😊
I agree!! roleplay at this event is so good and the people are fantastic!

Glad you found the channel and enjoyed seeing a little bit of Hynafol ☺️
Great vid! Hynafol is absolutely on my list of events I gotta make!
thank you! hope to see you there!
great video! You'll never know how much fun this is until you give it a shot!
Thanks! So true!
Love this game and this community so much!
Same! ❤️

One of my favorite games!
so much fun!! the week flies by.
Eeekk!! So excited!!!
Ohhhhhhh yeah
im gonna have to check this out next year
@@harrygohr heck yeah! See you there!
Hynafol is so stinking FUN
agreed!
This looks AMAZING! Great overview!
Looks pretty cool. Great venue also.
Okay, I think I gotta try this!
Go fill out the application and talk to the Hynafol folks!
I wish I got into larping earlier this is not too far from where I am
it's not too late.
@@hannahowen9819 I am technically not home right now
never too late!!
The lodge!
Indeed!!
19:19 i didn't think those shields had upside down hammers on them at first 😅😅
That may or may not have been the intent of that design 🙃
Not going to lie. I'd show up dressed up as a Star Trek character then get dressed for Hynafol
Maybe one day 💜 maybe my party can join too!
that would be fantastic!
It is only a few hundred at the moment. It can always grow. Also I have been looking for a beginner friendly Larp as I have been a table top guy for most of my life.
Sounds awesome!
I'm in San Antonio and wanna go someday, thanks for the awesome content. God bless. Jesus loves you!
This sounds like crazy fun. Are there cutpurses? Asking for a friend...😅
There is a cutpurse game that goes on that involves stealing clothespins off a pouch players wear. I am terrible at it
@@murph8977 that's pretty freakin' clever!

nicely done vid

hope to see you again!
Sounds like a lot of fun!

I have yet to get an awnser but maybe you were able to have the info. Do you have to camp on site or can you leave to go home and return in the morning?
You can leave at night and return in the morning. Players where free to come and go as they please when they park in the main parking lot.
What are the rules of contact during battle it seems like they don't mind full contact
There are rules on the Hynafol website under the player guide.
The general administration being double bico is kind of wild
smaller event, fewer to spread the costs around. bands, bar, etc.. some of those are fixed costs so it makes sense when you consider that.
LIGHTNING BOLT ⚡
This isn't a negative criticism, but what does Hynafol offer that isn't direct "inspiration" from Bicolline? This sounds like american Bicolline, which is cool, but it seems like a direct copy.
One thing is offers for me is that it is only two hours away from me lol
A big differentiator for me is the amount of roleplay. At Bico we’re basically camping in garb with a few opportunities to roleplay, whereas with Hynafol the roleplay is always on.
Have a question: are there drink options for people that don't touch alcohol or can't drink alcohol?
Yes, one of the players brews non alcoholic drinks!
IS THAT LOBOS AT 16:22 ?!?! THAT TOTALLY LOOKS LIKE LOBOS!
omg yesssss
Agreeeeeeeeed
Dallas travelers to Hynafol hit me up in a comment
If you join the discord you will get in contact with members in Dallas easier
This!

Did Hynafol make this promotion video, or you guys? If like to know so I contact the correct individual about my concerns relating to footage.
@@vixon130if it's about footage the logical step is probably to contact the video makers lmfao

The Tavern and the buildings look sterile and clean and lacking in character and old authenticity…hmmm… ❤
