Although there were and there really people, also the first on your LARP brought to the series, but they are rare, and it degenerates into work, and that contradicts the big rule: game that makes you and the other fun and not otherwise!

drawn to what I?
Good question. Not delve into expenses, yet you do not know whether you good for the live role play or not. Either You turn to someone who is already LARPi, bummed You dress and rummaged through the boxes on the equipment, or your a look in your closet or grandma in the basement. Linen shirts are already a good start, a dark leather pants, a leather belt around the waist (but not with a 'Calvin Klein' belt buckle !!!!!), to footwear and ready is your first apparel. All it takes really is not the first time Well, a coat would not be bad if it's winter, perhaps to leather gloves. Avoid simple plastic zippers, advertising prints, modern design, bright colors and the like. No one will blame you if you wear no `` orginalen leather boots or not topstyle a leather bag from a LARP equipment shops arrives. Even Docs or Rangers as shoes are OK, but no running shoes or sneakers, as the look is not necessarily suitable and ambiance are also very unfavorable for the hunt in the woods or on wet meadows. If you then your first Con've put behind you, you can do about going to expand or alter your garments. This is not necessarily an expensive leather jacket her. Just take a look at flea markets or in alternative-esoteric-tinged Just because one will often find. One more thing: take care that the drapery is tough, at least if you participate in the active plot-hunting want.
What am I with?
For the first LARP as it does not need much. Maybe a nice dagger or knife is beautiful, always useful (do not handle with plastic!), A bag for the belt, either bought, borrowed or homemade. And then all that you mean that you can possibly need. There is basic equipment, it does not, no check list for your inventory, that is just happened over time. Just think a little like, what situations you might expect, what you need when and where. Some string, maybe? Chalk? A charcoal pencil and writing materials? A bag of money? Vials for magic Tränke? Einen kleinen Taschendrachen [so heißt das Feuerzeug, gleich nach dem `Feuerfinger`; ja, natürlich ist es nicht ambientegerecht, aber wer meint, er muss sich das Feuerentfachen mit Feuerstein und Stahl antun, nun gut, soll er tun, wenn er Spaß daran hat. Wem das zu blöd ist, und dazu zähle ich mich (und die meisten Raucher unter Euch wohl auch), der nimmt sich ein Feuerzeug, kaufe sich etwas Fell oder Leder, bastle sich ein nettes `Gewand` für das Ding und fertig ist der Taschendrache!]? Eine Kerze? Ein schönes Amulett um den Hals? Einen Armreif?
Erkundigt Euch unbedingt vorher, ob das LARP mit gestelltem Geschirr und Betten ist. Wenn nicht, sucht Euch einen schönen Plate, bowl, cutlery, sleeping bag and sleeping pad. Even if you do not have compatible ambience, not so bad, but the things you desperately needs. You can apply then gradually stock up with dishes and cutlery from the Middle Ages markets. The sleeping bag and sleeping pad can not be replaced, but one or two skins or a blanket over it, and the whole thing looks like a lot better!
What I do NOT take?
on watches can easily do without, at least at the wrist. (A good sense of time is `` in your pocket or bag the other hand, often essential, for although the time is in the position of the sun or stars very difficult to estimate, there are many Cons still food on time ... :-)).
No cell phones (at least for anyone who does not belong to the organization team of the LARPs (affectionately known as `organization 'called).
No filter tipping (well, it would be nice to all cases, but are also rolling tobacco).
No Game Boys or similar nonsense .
valuables or something that you really love, for it can be lost or break, and the angry.
cassette player or Discman. On a LARP, the music comes from the bard, or not.
hot like me?
That no one can remove you. addiction in the name lists of various paper role-playing games, fantasy literature and ransacked converts from the names, no names from literature! A 'Gandalf', or `Conan 'or a` `Elric are just embarrassing! Addiction you also a name that no one can remember. A `Kundibertus Siegfriedus Weissnichtbus of Mount of the Holy Plattusian on the tops of large cane Silver Rose 'is better or worse, become the' Kundi 'or the like. Do something short, memorable, at least as your Ansprechnamen. If you have name tag still good, but remembers no pig.
Who were your parents or your fictional fictional siblings?
Just think about it for. Their names? Where do they live? What did they do? And why are you not with them? PLEASE: Spared the LARP world, with a sentimental story about you as orphan or foundling! If you are allowed to exist LARPis believe all, there is no world with people older than 30, because all died from a strange disease, or enchanted by the evil king was hanged, or the like. You do not need a novel you write about your background. Its sufficient to have you just been thinking that you can answer something when you should anyone ask, the rest would develop spontaneously in the LARP.
what you have experienced before?
Since opinions are divided. You can apply a lot of work to make and produce a life story fill a book. Writes of your birth, your youth, your education and the adventures that you have experienced. Many LARP organizers ask for a character description, but let us be honest again: Who reads the already and, in particular, who make reference to ?!?!? Certainly, a short Charakterumriß one likes to read as an organization, the difference between a player who does his best by those who do not (what a clever phrase!). There should be Orgas, which refer to character stories into consideration, but the first is difficult, and secondly, it is desirable?
must decide your own.
One of the arguments for a character description is the fact that the organizational team of a cons of it can learn more about the character, and knows where to place the character.
My experience was that my oh so painfully elaborate life history on the first night at the Con the river went down, because a) no b interested and
) suddenly began operating independently, and spontaneously developed into something better, and now, after some cons, this story has even spun.
Are you gifted magic?
Hmmm, difficult one.
you play for points is to answer the question quickly, because usually is not one of more than a few points here and there to distribute to to get some stuff, such as blue foam balls or the like, get a `magic 'by heart rate and you have that Großmagus. Does it make if you will, say, the arcane words, throw your foam balls and hoping that something happens that you understand and have other play. Does your not on points, but like the SPOFFL-CON (in Rohanja, Beronias neighbor) with no points, according to the `rules' of the` Real Fantasy `-` Can you what you draw Can be `the matter extremely difficult and demanding. For how can it be because is a fireball? How do I teach my players an ice storm, ice storm to call without `86`? How do I teleport me from A to B? How do I bestride because the Astral without yellow band on his arm? The answer is no or very difficult. A magic show on a talented character `Fantasy` Real-Con is not an easy task. I myself have played it not so I can you just tell what I saw:
real fantasy mages are rare and powerful because they provide power through their aura and ingenuity dar. looks a war mage in combat in the eye, if he just looks at you and then said with an imperious voice: `Get` blind and you receive raises dark sand, then you know what I mean. Look to alchemists as they cook with chemical agents and Rauchpülverchen their own ends, and a 'magic potion' . Produce Looking for the witch who make straw, herbs and muttering curses a voodoo doll, or look into a powder magician, as he tried using his apprentice to mix colored powder, hectic words murmurs, performs a magic incantation dance, cry out to be horrified ' out of here! `on the ground raises and clears imaginary flames on his body. Healers who are with herb associations and circular amulets `bleeding` halt, welcome. Show is all! Do you order the chemical building block, fits in physics classes, collected the old building blocks from under the bed and let your imagination run wild! Just think
what from where your character has his magical abilities.

Feuerballschleudernde all-rounder is required on any Con. A healer who can indeed judge breaks his patients but for one day a green nose concerned, provides humor and entertainment, and it is one to remember.
As I swing a LARP Sword?
Well, first problem: The LARP weapon in itself. Such a weapon usually consists of a fiberglass rod und Schaumstoffpolsterung. Woher nehmen und nicht stehlen? Beste Möglichkeit: Leiht Euch eine Waffe von jemanden mit LARP-Erfahrung aus, am Besten eine Waffe, die schon mal mit auf einem Con war. Gute Möglicheit: Kauft Euch eine in einem der diversen Ausstatter-Läden. Schlechte Möglichkeit: Kauft Euch die Materialien und werkt einfach mal ohne Tipps und Anleitung munter drauf los und hofft einfach, dass Ihr damit am Waffen-Check-In vorbeikommt.
Wenn Ihr handwerklich geschickt seid oder jemanden kennt, der schon Waffen gebastelt hat, dann könnt Ihr auch nach einer genauen Anleitung eine einfach LARP-Waffe bauen, ein Kurzschwert, ein Langschwert oder dergleichen. Passt einfach ein bisschen auf mit Euren Waffen, da kann leicht was passieren.
Hier auch nur auf die Grundzüge des LARP-Kampfes einzugehen, würde den Rahmen des Artikels sprengen, drum nur ganz kurz: Prügelt nicht einfach drauf los! Sucht Euch jemanden, der es KANN und lasst es Euch zeigen.
KEINE KOPF- oder HALS- oder WEICHTEIL-Schläge!
Keine Hiebe von oben, kein Stiche!
Kontrolliert zuschlagen! Wer schon mal als NSC nach einer Schlacht trotz Polsterung unterscheiden konnte, welche Kernstäbe rund und welche eckig waren, weiß, wovon ich rede. Führt die Waffe, als wäre sie aus Stahl und nicht geschmiedet aus Wind! Wer schon mal einen Anderhalbhänder in den Händen hielt, weiß, wieviel so ein Ding wiegt. Das führt KEINER with one hand or with wild Gefuchtel! Beware of throwing or shooting guns! This can literally go wrong! Learn not only a blow. Seek out battle tactics will change, from your attacks! Otherwise, the gap in your coverage and you are quickly found Orkfutter! Observe your opponents! Attacks targeted!
In all this, remember always to the great rule:
Plays like that have you AND the other fun games!
