The 6 biggest LARP genres | How to find Larp events

*How can people find Larp events in YOUR country?* And what's the name of your Larp group?

So, how do you find a Larp event? The best tip is to google "LARP" and your respective country - or search on Facebook. "Larp Haven" is a good international Facebook group to start.

*The 6 biggest LARP genres and where to find them:*

*1.) Medieval Fantasy Larp*
Medieval Fantasy LARP is the most popular genre of Live Action Roleplaying. Here are the three biggest Larp events in the world:

*2.) Post-Apocalyptic LARP*
Dystopian or Postapo Larps range from Zombie Larp to settings like "Fallout". Here are three big examples:

*3.) Vampire LARP*
Often inspired by "Vampire the Masquerade" or "Vampire the Requiem". Vampire Live is a very popular international Larp genre and here's an example in Italy:

*4.) Historical LARP*
This is not Reenactment - but Live Action Roleplay in a historical setting. It ranges from Western Larp all the way to 1920ies Larp - literally any historical epoch can be found. Here are some examples:

*5.) Sci-Fi LARP*
This Larp genre is inspired by worlds like Star Wars, Warhammer 40k or Cyberpunkt 2077 - it also includes Steampunk Larp. Here are some examples:

*6.) Horror and Mystery LARP*

Wow. I had no idea how MASSIVE larping is.

Yay! Nice to see a clip for the Galaxy Awaits in Olympia, WA, USA! It's a Star Wars larp! It's a total blast!

[Colorella]

Amazing to see how diverse the LARP Genres are!

Amazing seeing the Star Wars LARP, Galaxy Awaits, included!! Sooo much fun!

WW2 re-enactments are also LARPing, if you ask me. You may have a working Sherman tank or even a Spitfire, but you are still a cosplayer no matter how hard you deny it!

Living in northeast Texas now, in the neighborhood of Dallas-Fort Worth, I've been able to connect with the Dallas chapter of the International Fantasy Game Society which has a core of veterans who go back 25 years and more. Things are back in the swing this year, there are monthly games currently mostly alternating between high fantasy and a sort of steampunk universe. The two dozen or so veteran core personnel go to great lengths to encourage individual development, even new players can get involved in story writing, gear and set production.

I’m a part of Belegarth Medieval Combat Society in the USA. We’re very focused on the live action combat portion of larping and have a very small amount of role playing. The biggest event i go to is Battle For The Ring in Southern California.

Ich larpe seit 20 Jahren.
Angefangen mit Dragonsys über Vampire (Maskerade) und Post Apo,
Spiele ich seit Jahren begeistert DSA Larp.
Danke für dein Video. Das ist gerade für Anfänger und interessierte ein sehr schöner Leitfaden. Mach weiter so.

[ev_ing]

Thanks for the overview!! 😊 You're a great presenter - very animated and clear! 😀

[avionpiscean]

one of my favorite types of larps to really take off in the past few years has been "magic" school larps, where you get to play a student at some sort of specialized academy, whether it's for heroes, wizards, or space shaman warriors.

Danke für die Mühe und die Einblicke Sonja 😊

[carmelajonckheere]

Great video! I'd add multiverse LARP at the end, since they can be a mix of medfan, sci-fi, vampires, horror, pirates, etc... A perfect example is my favourite LARP event Eormengrund in France (100-150 players).

I’m a really huge fan of medieval fantasy but I don’t know anybody who shares my interests. I just turned 18 and I really hope to be able to go to a larp event, I feel like it would be a amazing since I’d be able to get to know people that are as weird as me lol!! & since I live in Germany, I wouldn’t even have to travel so much 🤍🤍 thank you for your informative videos

[shellnet]

There are bars all over America. I know a lot in New Orleans I think there's a couple in New York I think Orpheus in Baltimore might be on certain days like this some are all the time some are just on certain weekends doping for the evening they'll have music and do like especially the vampire themeLAR where everybody is a vampire maybe even in places you don't even realize

[DaxNylan]

Just wanted to say I always love watching your Videos! Hope to see you at Drachenfest US one of these days. If you ever do, please come up and chat with our version of the Silver Avatar ( myself ), would love to say Hi!

[epicbrowndragon]

Great costume, loving the vibe and energy of your video!

Your channel made me want to invite you to one or more of our russian larp events: it would be so exciting to hear from you about differences you could see, especially ginven there are lots of different larp styles in Russia itself: from small 15+ people "pavillion" games up to 1000+ grand events involving huge world and ranging from using nerfs and soft protected weapons and up to hard plastic or even metal weaponry.
