Heeey Heidi, glad you enjoyed our video 😁 I had so much fun filming it! Yeah, I totally understand that it can feel weird in the beginning. Totally been there myself! But once you just go with the flow and fully immserse yourself, it's actually an incredible experience! And apart from pure entertainment, it's also a great way to learn new skills. I got to understand so much more about people after leading a few hundred people into battle 😂 Much love from Germany and thanks for your reaction video 😊
Good Work Sonja. Das Video geht viral
@@arnodobler1096 danke dir =) ja das ist es lustiger Weise schon seit einiger Zeit. Finds super cool, dass es bei so vielen Leuten gut ankommt
@@tannky93 oh thaaaanks! That makes me happy =)
@@SonjasAdventures Just love your stuff Sonja. ❤ And I'm not even a larper.😊
You did a great job, I never had any interest in LARPing by what friends told me, but your video about this specific event defenitifly changed my POV on it. Maybe my friends should go to those amazing events and tell me about that instead of those tiny events were they beat eachother up in some public park (like in the futurama episode).
Heidi the laughing Orc, the most terrifying enemy you can encounter.
......especially after eating some garlic....😁
This is really fun! I am a Wizard (with a long, real beard) and my wife is a witch ... so we don't fight, but support, help and heal people in need! :)
That is so awesome! :D
@@HailHeidi yeah, it's a lot of fun. greetings from germany! :)
Omg, what a super sympatic reaction. Greetings from Germany. And what an absolute lovely smile by the way.
Just wanted to adress your question about if people meet each other in these kind of events. Well, me and my wife met in a LARP event. (though we were playing in a vampire LARP) Our characters started out as bitter enemies, and there were lots of shouting and argueing between us.
This made up conflict made us want to meet as real people...and well... Now were been together for 15 years and married for 12 of them. :)
In Sweden they have a LARP campaign which has been going continuously since the mid 80's.
@@mrfomo217 Which one are you thinking about?
I knew you'd enjoy the video (that's why I recommended it). Your reaction was really fun to watch. Enjoyed it very much. Thank you again dear Heidi!❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for recommending =)
@@SonjasAdventures Oh, my pleasure Sonja!!!❤
"Money that doesn't get you anything, but in this world it does"
That's what money is in every country 😆
This looks ridiculously fun! Adding it to the bucket list.
Why do you think you couldn't portray an ork?
Turn the laughing from a bug to a feature. Even the most skilled warrior may face fear, but there is this one ork that laughs even in those moments and makes a name for themselves for being truely fearless.
Exactly. That is absolutely one way to go about it.
Plus, in general, laughing is fine. One big difference is if someone laughs because he/she is having fun or if one is making fun of someone else.
If someone is just simply having a good time, that is fine. .... pretty sure people in medieval times also laughed sometimes.
and from day one, the new one was called "giggly" - the female orc that giggles while chopping people in half.
sounds legit.

LARP is exactly like D&D, but you don't have a character sheet and dices, but a garb and spells or foam weapons and you don't tell the game master what you will do, you just do it.
And it is not for watching from outside, but watching and feeling from inside. And so it is not like cosplay.
Epic Empires is one of the best looking events and a very big one. There are two bigger eventes in Germany with 5000-10000 participants.
Eyyyyyy! I love that you're reacting to this!
8:48 That is actually the case for most LARP events.
13:50 People do LARP because they love stories, fantasy and adventures.
18:30 You never know if you haven't tried.
LARPer from Germany: I've played my dwarf character for 25 years now. For a guy I'm fairly short, fat, and broad. I glue three beards onto my face with Mastix skin glue for that role. It is so fun to be taciturn, grumpy, and bull-headed for a few days, and nobody expects anything else from you. With a little bow-legged wide stance I can lower my height to be about chest height to most people. Maybe choose the lower terrain to enhance the effect of being shorter than (almost) everyone around you.
Yes, it is an honor system in combat. Those people who can't stick to it will quickly find themselves ostracized for it. "Play it out, bitch!" /"Spiel's aus, du Sau!" is a fairly common saying among LARPers to people who can't adhere to the honor system.
Usually you can take one hit on each limb if you're a newbie and unarmored. Leather adds one hit, chain mail two, plate three. But only to areas that are covered. Magical armor, usually displayed by a blue ribbon wrapped around the torso can be used instead of real armor, adding one, two, or even three hits across the whole body.
Most thrown weapons cause one hit on contact with the body. Arrows do one and penetrate most armors except plate mail. Bolts from heavy crossbows or ballistae penetrate ALL armors and may cause two hits on a limb directly.
With one hit you may still use a limb, but should portrait it as being wounded and less efficient. At two hits on a limb that limb is considered disabled, at three badly injured and completely useless, possibly destroyed. At three hits on your torso you are considered incapacitated and bleeding to death. If a healer administers life saving healing/magic to you your character can be saved. But again, play it out. Moan, groan, or scream to your hearts content when 'wounded'. Be dramatic, and fun for the others. If you bring a fun role to the game that others like they usually go out of their way to make it possible that your character survives, somehow. Especially if you kiss dirt during battle realistically after a few hits and aren't this super-though OP character that doesn't fall at all. OP characters unable to display a wound or hit aren't fun to play with. Even if you are wearing 40 pounds of armor (like me, when I'm fully geared up), give a grunt or groan when you take hit, stagger a bit, shuffle sideways, or even trip. Take a hit to the knee, even if covered in heavy plate? Go to the knee, complain, yammer, be a good sport, and everyone will have fun.
Hey hey, which Larp events do you go to in Germany? Love great dwarven players
@@SonjasAdventures Bin hauptsächlich in Steinsberg/Herbstein unterwegs. In letzter Zeit leider weniger aus privaten Gründen. Lebe in Hamburg, deshalb ist alles südlich der Mainlinie eine deutliche Strecke mit dem ganzen Geraffel. Mein ehemaliger 150 Liter Tauchtrolley ist voll mit meiner Larpausrüstung und grade noch so zu tragen (dank Schultergurten). Auf ebener Fläche auch grade noch zu ziehen. Aber Schild, Armbrust, und Munitionskiste ist separat, also reichlich Zeugs. Das paßt nur noch ins Auto. Ganz ohne das nötoge In-Time-Equipment für meinen zwergischen Koch. Ja, Zwergenkoch.
@@RustyDust101 ah okay, Steinsberg/Herbstein sagt mir tatsächlich gar nichts =) Ich bin primär auf den großen Cons, das heißt kleine lokale Larps im Norden sagen mir (aus Bayern) nix =)
@@SonjasAdventures Ist im Vogelsbergkreis in Hessen. War damals in der Nähe, bin dabei geblieben, trotz Distanz. Sehr coole kleine Orga, auch schon seit 30 Jahren dabei, oder so.
So, in my 20s I've been to two LARP events and as for being hit: yes, it's the honor system. For example: I was once attacked with my group while out at night. There were a bunch of undead and they clawed at my legs because they were crawling. I wasn't aware though that this counted as a hit, since I thought they were just trying to hold me. I only found out later that this was them striking me. Obviously in these settings, especially unarmed attacks have to be acted out and you can't just hit someone. So in the dark, the light touches to my shin didn't really register in my mind as being hit, especially not since we were really surprised and kind of freaked out at the ambush.
Great reaction again 👍🏻 greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
Thank you 🙌 and welcome! :D
Ooooh you got so excited XD loving it :D
ah nice you stumbled upon that video. I find it very fascinating, its like people who didnt had the chance to become an actor or actress are doing LARP. maybe thats not the case but its plausible xD love it. friend of mine is doing larp and goes on weekend trips for something like that where they rent an old lookin building and shut off their phones.
The usual pipeline is to come from tabletop RPGs. LARP still is quite different from playing a character so.eone else wrote.
Well, what if I tell you, that I know several people who train their LARP acting nearly every weekend in summer as vikings on medieval markets? Not really rare around here! Each year there are bigger LARP events that are purely historical, too. Northern Germany... (the former viking metropole Haitabu is 40km south from where I live...)
Shitting in forests - quite common in the Finnish army :D I always laugh at the techniques for that. Maybe the most creative is Harley Davidson shit. Basically you take your belt around a tree, then squat facing the tree holding the belt as if you were riding an HD.
Fuck tinder and bumble..I'm going to start LARPing. I already play DnD. I'm halfway there.
haha see??
Ah, DnD. The gateway drug into Larp.
Eine Apfelweinschänke wo täglich ein Wildschwein über dem Feuer grillt könnte ich mir vorstellen. Ein mittelalterlicher Imbiss. 😂
@andik859 I can't read elven.
Regarding the question of people meeting at Larp and starting a relationship: I met my boyfriend at a Larp when there was an attempt at marrying our characters XD Nothing came of that though, well except our (at this time) almost 4 year relationship

My favorite LARP idea is still the 4th of July LARP in Poland, where they impersonate ordinary Americans (*cough* White trash *cough*) living in a trailer park in central Ohio and celebrating fourth of July. And just like Epic Empires, the participants are super ambitious and are expected to spend up to six months preparing for the events. Unfortunately there seems to be no video clips from it, just a lot of still pictures, for example on their Facebook page. And all info is in Polish so you need Google translate. But I kind of fell in love with Poland when I learned about the event!
Hail Heidi, Queen of the Elves.
Lol 💜
It's not strictly medieval (in general a lot of fantasy labeled so has early modern / Renaissance elements). There are people there clearly dressed as 18th/early 19th century soldiers with muskets. And some as Roman legionaires.
I saw the titles. 10 Facts about Epic Empires...
Awesome I thought. I love history.
10 seconds into the video. Oh, wait. LARP.
Well sure, lets see what this is then.
As a Norwegian, I feel I should be in the Viking camp. :P
=D
You should also watch videos of medieval festivals in Germany! I'm sure you'll like them too.
It is not a cosplay only...it is a roleplay up from pen and paper...with real battles and real pain😂🎉 you can play much characters. ..if u think ure laughing to much you can build a charakter around your laughing. ....but you have to play it 5 days long...!!
would love to see you try larping for a day and break character dozens of times haha
LARPing is a big thing in Germany, and frankkly, it's still a bit weird to me as well to immerse myself for so many days as this different person. But Heidi, if you or your family and friends want to try to "pretend", you can do it low budget by playing a one-shot game of Pen n Paper game :D (usually the most popular is DnD 5e nowadays)
Mi hai fatto ridere. Quando dici di fare la pupu nella foresta😂
Se andassi li sarei tranquillo fornaio che sforna pane e pizza tutto il giorno con il mio forno a legna.
LARP is just an evolved name and type of rp re-enactment but it has been popular in the UK since the 60s and 70s where they would re-enact battles that happened in the UK from roman times through to the 1800s and in the 90s it was popular to rp trench warfare from both wars
But nothing on this scale
You could make a character, that has a bad habit, of laughing, at all the wrong moments. Then you just need to laugh even when it is not fun, and be ready on what you will do when a character is offended that you laughed. It could present a lot of fun roleplay.
I LARP too, but in Denmark, and not quite as serious. How ever, I do Viking re-enactment, that is just as serious, but that is not roleplaying.
This should be interesting
It would be funny to see ,,Heidi-the-laughing-orc''
I kind of want to start a futuristic Star Trek camp.
HailHeidi Just think Danes lived like that : Google help copy paste : The Viking Age
Danish prehistory culminated in the Viking Age, the period from 800 until 1050 AD.
Haha i live in Germany but had no Idee this bs happen here in Germany.its Nothing for myself but wish all the people there a lot of fun.🙃🙂✌️
Thanks Markus =D Yeah, we have a huuuge community of Larpers here in Germany and some of the biggest Larp events worldwide
@@SonjasAdventures i have some friends attending to the Drachenfest nearly every year. I hear good storys about it and im interested in larping at all actually but i think i would feel.. i dont know, komisch eben :D. Habe es mir auf jedenfall mal vorgenommen an sowas teilzunehmen! Das video ist großartig und klärt einige fragen die ich hatte. danke!
@@semiramisubw4864 sehr cool! Ja über das Drachenfest haben wir auch ein Video 😊👍 Bin gespannt was du sagst, wenn du mal dabei warst 👍
Disney World is LARP for small kids - this is LARPing for adults
2:14 160 ha (hectare) = ~395 ac (acre)
We all roleplay a bit when gaming 😁. I am 60 and have been doing online gaming including many mmorpg since mid 90s (when my kids got a bit older and i got a bit more time 😋). 😎🇧🇻
It looks fun.:)
looks fun it would be the viking camp for me when it comes to the fights i would be laughing too much to die
Oh, this is around 20 miles from my home. 😀
☝Khazars and Britons are the main but not the only culprits of the degradation of the Deutsche Nation☝☝The USA is also part of the great empire of the Britons based on Deutsche territory☝
Roleplaying ? No problem !
Having to deal with People I don't know in Real Life ? Thats when I feel akward ^^*
I guess you can hook up at a LARP event as well as with any other hobby, be it chess, cycling or online gaming. :)
You dear Lady would look great as an ELf
She would 😊👍
schtimmt
Hell, yes.
This is cosplay on steroids... It's admirable the way Germans can just throw themselves into a completely different world and not be embarrassed or withdrawn about it... Given their affinity for nudity I suspect the age limit is also a protection against offense or unwanted legal issues... Not that a German would be bothered, but anyone not familiar with general nudity could well wonder where the hell they were...
We've got larping in Australia too, I've never been and tbh I find it a little weird but if I was drinking I'd be fun lols.
Can't wait for you to start exploring OZ I love when others learn about my beautiful unique home. Australia is often overlooked by travellers because of the deadly stereotypes. What are your thoughts on gun control?? Jim Jefferies gun control part 1 & 2 are great 😁

Hi Heidi nie to see you and a beautiful reaction if your ever in Germany maybe you should visit a larp event it is realy fun ♏🔱😇
I wonder if everyone is high ..
u could make the laughter a part of ur charector?? like slithtly mad
4story haha that's fun to me as a gamer.
Druids in uk and Ireland lol
Wow lol its very like druids
"I put on my robe and a wizard hat". BAck in the day it was always lots of fun to follow the drama afterwards, when people had sex during the larp, as 1 was in character, just playing, and the other was actually interested in the person.
Don't think Americans know who there ancestors are they don't seem to know much about were there from
If u talking about celebrating our ansessters
Don't you find that most people play some others characters, very few are true to they to what they are. seems like peaople don't like them self. thats is why they try to be another then what they are. Don't need to have fanatasy play as most do that allways on street. I wich that people could be what they are, no need to have sham for what we are. every are unik. anyway, couldn't they play a plaig as that was quit normal on medivel lifes ... :)
Niceee
