A Larp Documentary


The following make this video painful:

1) It has revealed larping is an international phenomena. Even their British accents can't save them from being blatantly nerdy. Fun Fact: Larp Woodstock occurred in 1994 in Sweden. I am guessing a similar amount of drugs were consumed as in the original.

2) "I've seen people cry when their character's been killed." Bitches.

3) Larping has been around since 1983. OH MY GOD... larpers have been around my entire life... and in the EIGHTIES. How could my parents bring me into such a cruel cruel world?


4) Minute 7:30. I would be more afraid of the following battle than the battle that ensues at minute 7:30:


5) One of the interviewees blames larping's lack of popularity on World of Warcraft. I blame this:

  1. Greetings ladies (if I may call you that),

    I just wanted to drop a quick line to let you know that records have been found that places the birth of LARPing well over 400 years ago.

    It seems that our distant and uncouth cousins had the same tastes that we do. :)

  2. You don't understand, Kevin. That wasn't "LARPing" back then, that was called "life".

  3. You may call us ladies... we appreciate it in fact, since certain people we work with forget this tiny detail quite frequently.

    Thanks for the info, we are always happy to learn more about this larping phenomenon. :)
