Calling all LARPers
Posted by: Lex Larson on: July 11, 2009
So I’m reading this excellent site about Russian Fallout3 LARPers, (English translation) and I’m curious (since I don’t LARP) what kind of spaces LARPers look for when staging their games. Where do you hold your games now? What would make for an awesome game-space?
Help me out here, please. I’ve only got tabletop and LAN gaming experience, so I haven’t the first clue what LARPs need for space or amenities.

I’ve LARPed a few times and the space necessary is quite flexible, you can generally tailor the LARP to fit the space allotted. Of course if you have a full sized stone castle, that adds to the ambiance, but if you can’t imagine the dusty dank dungeon walls, you should be watching TV not LARPing.

So does that mean a conference room… a few conference rooms and a hallway… or what? Or really will the answer be, “Whatever we’d get we’d work with” and maybe it’s not a high-priority set of needs to look into?
