    Funny how everyone LARPs, but you can't take the southern preacher out of an Elf from the South. LMAO

    I loved it. A nice mix of interviews and in play footage. Excellent editing and everything. The garb of the characters was on point. I didn't see any of the tacky nike shoes etc that plague the reenactment/larping events. Claire's scale mail and plate with her elf ears were very cool.

    This is no different then my everyday life. Sitting around with goofballs, eating bad food, trying to herd cats, arguing about shit that isn't real, doing something for someone else, just to have another goofball wreck it, staying in character, etc. EVERY F****ING DAY

    At around 3:20 the men chatting around the fire reminded me of a similar chat at my larp... it was my first time there. I didn’t understand any of the politics of the game much and they were talking about the politics of the world... just a funny thing I remember

    Ahh this was awesome! And really solid editing- love all the little effects you did with the text, where you integrated it into the shots, like 3:44 and 7:10.

    i live in south dakota and there might be one larp area near by. which is far and costs around $30 or more depending on the date. i hope some one could start one here in rapid because it is really boring and not much to do than living here.

    I think larping is really cool and fun. but imagine if you had larpers who actually knew what they were doing. it looks like they are just thwacking each other without technique. if most of them knew actual sword techniques and applied them to a battle(probably easier said than done) it would make it look a lot more professional and an overall better and more intense experience for most participants

      Look at some European Larps Such as Krigslive or Warlarp in english

      @victuslarper1052 6 лет назад +6

      I shouldn't have to learn a real martial art to play a game and participate in my hobby. The combat is set up so that almost anyone can participate and have the same fun. LARP is more about the role play, the social interactions between the characters than it is trying to emulate real combat. :)

    • @CMTechnica
      @CMTechnica 6 лет назад

      Victus Larper relax, it's just an idea. it *would* feel nicer if people knew what they were doing, not flailing wildly with a weapon. I can't count how many times I've had to deal with killing another player using just a shield because they're flailing. it's satisfying when weapons connect with a hit, even for just a split second ;)

    • @victuslarper1052
      @victuslarper1052 6 лет назад +1

      I apologize for my brash reaction. I agree, that less "fairy waving" would be nice. I would suggest that the more experienced LARPers step up and help in teaching better or some kind of technique. In fact it could make for great role play as well to help teach other characters rather than just players. :)

      @franshepherd5830 6 лет назад

      I've actually been to this LARP. What's fun is that there are a good number of players now that actually do know some form of real fighting technique. Really does make the game pretty intense but still fun.

    When you have two characters you want to play as but can't choose either one over the other and want to play both at the same time but the characters can't be combined.
