I used to think a lot less of larping till I went and realised it's for people with shall we say, issues?
I wish people learned some useful skills instead but I suppose that takes effort
It's kind of a sweet way to bridge people who have zero social skills or well other skills either really, with people who do
It's an escapism for people who wish desperately they were someone else or feel totally unfulfilled by their own true path

Fascinating. This seems to me to be an adult version of the pretend games children often play, though obviously this is much more complex. I can remember using a lot of these elements, including developing detailed characters that we would keep from game to game and inventing plots and so on.

How could you not mention Historic/Battlefield Re-enactments? I get that they're not exactly games, but if you considered -war games- worthy of mention in the RPG episode, I have to assume that historic re-enactments have had at least as much influence on LARPing, if not more.

Cosplayer here (anime) and been looking to branch out into fantasy LARPing. However, i use a wheelchair to move as my only means of mobility. Fantasy and medieval rp doesn't seem very chair friendly, or am i wrong? Could this actually work out? Also need to find my character.

thumbs up for recognising larps from outside the US [although you could have also mentioned Germanys Drachenfest [one of the biggest larp biggest events in Europe] and Cannada's biccoline [which has a MASSIVE permenant Site with player owned and built buildings].

Did I miss it, or is there really no mention of Mind's Eye Society/By Nigth Games/Vampire The Masqerade LARPing?
The game that transformed tabletop did more or less the same for LARPing too, and deserves all the accolades it can get.

You forgot to mention that there don't have to be rules. There is a big scene that uses no objective rules or hitpoints or any thing like it. As well I wonder if there is a bigger LARP than the Conquest of Mythodea?

Remember when you tried out for -Beauty and the Geek- and lost out to the LARPer? Yeah, that was me. Sorry you didn't make the show (you would have been fun to hang with, but you seem to be doing pretty well.

I never would have guessed that Dag started out like that. Nowadays it's full of stick-jocks that are more interested in beating the snot out of you rather than roleplay.
