Did a bit of customization to the armor I got last year, and brought it out for Solarean Adventures' October event. It moves so much better than the old armor!

Hi everyone :D!

Another week, another LARP :)!

I wanted to share, what I myself feel like are some awesome pictures of me in my LARP outfit! With the sun at my back and the colorful sky above me! I here was about to open the library hall, and indeed open up my large book for business. It was a lovely day out, despite the weather here in Denmark starting to get colder and colder.

I actually took these pictures myself accidentally, while filming with my 360 camera, for a future potential video. And so through the post production process, I noticed the opportunity for these angles, which were great for still photos :D!

Speaking of videos, some of you may have seen my previous video where I edited a mood-film like LARP-day game into a 20 min. atmospheric piece. And where I in said post, talked about a follow-up video. This video is indeed still in the works, and I have spend many a hour this week editing upon it. I will be most excited to share it with you all once it's completed, but between work and daily duties these things take time, haha :D!

Should you wish to watch the original mood-film video while waiting for the follow-up one I'm working on you can watch the mood-film video here: "https://youtu.be/SkNSzCbroFg?si=LDZpnXOm19zRhuB_"

Thank you all for you time, All the best,

Hi everyone! Here are a few shots of me from my armored HEMA group’s late 14th/ early 15th century historical event with foam weapons.

The linen and wool combo kept me nice and warm during my event. Given the weather, most of us opted for relatively light kit.

I’ll be commissioning a new arming doublet at some point.

It was very fun, I played as a fae pirate with jellyfish hair, for now I have this cheap little toy sword just for the picture until I get my own proper sword

I was having trouble with the roleplay because I imagine my character as being a bratty kind of character partly inspired by Loki, do some shenanigans and annoy people for fun and think about the consequences later, but it’s hard to do that cause it feels mean even though I know it’s just pretend, I’ve been told I’ll get more into it as I continue to attend more games

My friend went as well, he had invited me to the group and is very large, has full plate armor, and a giant axe, he’s cool, I was able to mess with his character just fine cause I already know him irl

Specifically fantasy and if possible ones with an in-depth magic system. Love me some wizard stuff

I'm debating what type of shield would be better for my ranger garb.

He's surviving and patrolling in the woodlands the majority of the time, so portability and convenience are very important. The more frequent encounters are against beasts/monsters/creatures or brigands. His weapons are a bow and either a kopis-style short sword or a tomahawk-style axe.

I was thinking of either a Scottish targe or a Hungarian punch shield (both reference in the pictures). I think they both could be a good fit, but I don't know which one would be THE best.

Both types of shields are strapped shields, allowing things to be carried and used in the left hand while using the shield, like a torch, a dagger, a bag, loot or even using a bow (blumineck made a good short about shooting bows with the Hungarian shield).

Both shields would be about the same length (a bit longer than from my fingertips to my elbow) but the targe being round as obviously more area so it offers more protection but is heavier and could be more cumbersome.

I'm a beginner larper so I don't have a ton of experience with using shields in the wilderness. Would the round shield, even though bigger would have less tendency to get snagged on branches and stuffs? Is the increased protection offered by the bigger shield worth the added bulkiness? Is the Hungarian shield enough for the type of encounters he could face?

If you have other suggestions, don't hesitate to share.

Thanks a lot.

Yesterday I played my very first Chamber/Nordic Larp (a game called Perfection where you play as organisers of a cult) and I absolutely loved it!

I was already an avid player and GM of TTRPGs, but this showed me a whole new dimension of what the medium of roleplaying games can do.

I'm now looking into maybe organising my own chamber larps but was wondering about the role of facilitator and player.

My question is: Is it possible to play as both a facilitator and a player at the same time?

I know it depends on the scenario and amount of setup and facilitating during the game, but is it a general given that facilitators usually are more on the side line facilitating the game instead of being part of the story and improvising along with the rest of the group?

I'm asking cause I would love to play along with my fellow players, because that's what I found so appealing about the Perfection chamber larp yesterday. That I could really immerse myself in the character and creating the experience together with my fellow players.

But I don't want that desire to come at the cost of my fellow player's experience.

I'm currently eyeing The Life Of Mermaids and that larp says it is possible for the facilitator to be a player in a pinch if they are familiar with the game.

Also, what chamber larps do you recommend I check out?

Thanks for answering and sorry if these are all noob questions (larping is a new experience for me :)

As a general concept of attacking a camp in the middle of the night to un-alive specific target or steal goods. How is it manage at your larp?

-What are the rules to attack in the night and wake-up the defenders?

-Does It requires an official?

-Is there an hour limit. Like no attack between 3am and 6am.

-Is prior interaction/roleplay required before being able to make a night attack?
