To Create A Larp: Step 1

Choose A Theme

My Game is a classic medieval fantasy set during a steam punk revolution, with intrigue, political scheming, and rising capitalist powers. Are you on the side of Magic? Or Machines?

larp is fun, here is art for my game character

[retellingthehobbit]

I’m making a webcomic adaptation of The Hobbit! It’s an epic cool passion project that incorporates as much of Tolkien’s prose as possible while also being my own take on the story, it features a variety of different art styles to represent the worlds of different characters in Middle Earth, it’s over 100 pages long already, the art/writing keeps gradually improving over time, and you should follow it! Like, comment, and subscribe! *dabs*

Okay I admit I’m awful at ‘marketing.’ But my point stands! Follow for queer Tookish antics over the Edge of the Wild. 

You can keep up by following me here at @retellingthehobbit on Tumblr. This blog posts a new 10ish-page-long chapter once a month (on the 13th), as well as assorted WIP art :3. The first chapter on tumblr is here. (I started out posting on my main @secretmellowblog, so the earlier chapters were posted there instead.) However, I personally recommend keeping up with the comic by bookmarking it on ao3 here or subscribing on Webtoon here. This keeps all the chapters neatly organized in one place, and also sends you an email notification whenever it updates, which is helpful because I don't update weekly :). I currently update monthly, on the thirteenth day of every month.

Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy!

the prince is feeling a bit nervous, bear looks like he’s well versed in the art of LARP…

An interesting side effect of playing a wizard at a fantasy larp is how quickly my brain believes I'm doing magic for real

I say the words with intent and throw my spell and then an effect happens (an enemy takes damage, something is "fixed/broken," ect). So its very easy for my brain to start to believe that what I'm doing is real

Gem could tell the difference instantly. The way she spoke, the way she moved, everything was so different, yet so distinctly her.

This was her False.

"Gem!" False- her False said, rushing closer. Gem could recognize her anywhere, wearing her usual clothes and talking to her with such familiarity.

"False! Is it really you?" Gem asked, reaching out but not yet touching her.

"Really me? What do you mean?" False asked, confusion evident on her face. "Where are we? The portal- This isn't Hermitcraft, how are you here?" She asked, eyes scanning the redhead's face for answers.

"It is you!" Gem hugged her tightly. "I'll explain everything, I promise." She said softly, trying not to notice the confused looks her Empires friends gave her for being so overly-friendly with someone from the portal. "Come on, let's go to my kingdom." She suggested.

"Your kingdom? You have a- Is that a bear?!" False startled at the large brown bear now sniffing at the grass near Gem's feet.

Gem chuckled sheepishly. "Let me catch you up."

💜💛💜💛

"So you mean to tell me there's a version of me running around whose only personality traits are loving copper and selling iron? What am I, a golem?" False asked, drinking an offered bottle of honey as she sat on Gem's bed.

Gem chuckled and shrugged. "I don't know, maybe? You certainly aren't as fun to talk to as you are now." She said between bites of a golden carrot.

"What are you even doing here if everything's so…predictable?" False wondered, looking out over Dawn, which resembled Gem's elven base so much but was also so completely different it was hard to describe.

"I like it here." Gem said, a wistful smile on her face as she looked out over the kingdom she'd created from scratch. "Here I don't have to focus on any big projects, I can just…do whatever I want. I can make a bee farm one day and attend a princess party the next. It's just…nice." She said, shrugging.

False glanced down at her empty bottle and moved it to her pocket as she mulled over Gem's response. "Why didn't you tell me you were here? That here even existed?" She asked.

Gem giggled. "I wasn't sure how you'd take it if I told you I subconsciously created a version of you in my princess roleplay world." She finally answered.

False blinked. "You- You made this place?"

Gem shrugged. "Maybe? It has all my friends here, makes sense I made it." She said nonchalantly.

"Gem." False said, emphasizing every syllable she said. "You got bored, and made a whole world, just so you could be a butterfly princess. Do you know how incredible and impossible that sounds?" She asked, eyes never leaving the redhead's.

"Well when you put it like that…"

"Gem!"

"Okay, okay." Gem held up her hands in surrender. "It does sound kind of unbelievable, yeah."

False shook her head and chuckled. "You're insane." She said with fondness in her voice.

"Hey!" Gem punched her shoulder lightly, fighting back laughter and grinning when False snickered and punched her back.

💛💜💛💜

Gem waved to False from afar, noticing Scott's questioning gaze from beside her before she tried to continue her conversation with him.

Gem hadn't felt this excited since she "moved" to the land of Empires, hanging around False between her princess duties at every chance she could, looking forward to her friend's jokes about the other rulers of the land.

It was different with False. Her other friends marveled in the strange new land, not knowing it was made by Gem or that the people they met weren't real. False knew, she saw this as a game just like Gem did.

She felt seen with False.

But it couldn't last forever. She knew that. Gem always knew her friends would eventually leave, that she'd be the only sentient person in the Empires again.

She just didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Come on, Gem." False smiled slightly, rubbing her arm as she stood near the reawakened portal. "You'll see me again, right? Back in Hermitcraft."

"I-" Gem sighed. "I know." She forced herself to smile. "I just…thought I'd have company here a bit longer."

They stared at each other for a minute as the other Hermits and Empires rulers said their goodbyes before False cleared the distance to bring the Dawn princess in for a tight hug.

"I'll see you soon, Gem." She said quietly.

Gem held her tightly, eyes shut tight to make the moment feel longer than it was. "See you, False." She whispered back.

False turned to leave, but paused at the feeling of Gem's hand curled gently around her wrist.

"Thanks. You know, for keeping me company here." Gem said with a small shrug and tight smile.

False's smile softened as she moved to hold her friend's hand. "Any time." She said, giving her hand a small squeeze. She lifted Gem's hand to her lips, leaving a light kiss to her knuckles while the princess blushed brightly. "Until next time, your majesty." She said with a bow, giggling softly as she let go of the redhead's hand.

Gem clutched her hand to her chest, stunned silent as False turned and stepped through the portal.

💜💛💜💛

"Hey, Gem!" False- leader of Cogsmeade- waved, carrying a barrel in her arms and straining slightly with effort. "I've got your shipment! Sorry it took so long, I was…traveling." She said, setting it down with a heavy thud.

"Thank you." Gem said with a forced grin. It was hard to face this False knowing she was so different from her False.

"No problem!" False grinned, wiping some sweat from her brow.

For a moment, Gem caught a glimpse of her friend in the identical girl's smile.

"Do you…want to stop by the tavern for a drink?" Gem asked slowly.

False perked up, nodding happily. "Sure!" She agreed.

Gem walked with this False, wondering if she would ever start to feel the same as the one she loved.

The first piece of art I’ve posted in months and it’s my LARP character. you guys that came here for hermitcraft are starving I’m so sorry (not really)

[snow-tempest]

"If I had a clone, I would fuck my clone!" "I would give them the childhood we deserved!" "I would kill my clone!"

Okay, well I want my clone to act out those imaginary arguments you have with the ideas of people in hypothetical scenarios with me.

Between the two of us, we'd get to act out a million arguments a million ways. That's a whole other person whose head is full of monkeys on typewriters, banging out Shakespearian arguments and insults.

Fantasy Medieval LARP gear? XD

Please click for larger size. =) These were fun to put together!

[snekdood]

ppl who larp about the Revolution™ almost seem to expect someone *else* to take the leading role in it all so they can sit inside on their asses and do jack shit, they know they have no meaningful skills to offer and would only slow people down, but expect to *somehow* magically radicalize most americans into doing all the work for them because awww dey're just such a weak wittle babu that needs to be pwotected and defwended awlways uwu

like. come on. get a grip. if everything went your way and someone actually stronger than you came along to take the lead, you're likely not being invited, and you'll likely be left behind... which means left to the alt right, who will no doubt come to your house to see if you're perpetuating anything "woke", and you gotta know they wont just ask, they'll barge in and look through everything even your computer.

though, you should really focus on your plan. your first step: get along with people enough to even actually convince them its a good idea, and we all know you'll never dare to try that shit. you cant even be on here w/o blocking someone like me for even suggesting you are approaching this like a child playing war and you have NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

you think you want a second holocaust (which is essentially letting trump win, i mean hitler got the majority vote in germany. thats how he rose to power. didn't just materialize out of thin air), but you dont seem to grasp the gravity of what that entails, or even that you'd be thrown in the camps with everyone else, all to stick it to jewish ppl and "the libs", even if it means you and all the ones you love die along with them. you are a net negative to humanity and quite frankly should be on a fucking watch list.

[krisrisk]

this is pretty genious, and about the thing i might be doing for my room.

maybe working for and with all the artists of different sort really gave me more than i thought it did, because after the workshops done by professionals about sound and light i only lack a workshop for set decoration before i can turn my flat into some kind of fantasy power land i guess. XD

[sl33py-g4m3r]

OCs from SMT IV that I accidentally created; or 2 but I’m only working on 1 currently I think. Fleshing him out more~~

Is what the larp is, lol. Accidental creation of characters.

Don’t have names for them yet tho.

One is someone from the monastery who’s somehow got access to this site and posts occasionally.

The other is a prentice samurai who completed a mission and unfortunately is now in the infirmary unconscious; with their soul somehow being isekai’d to our world somehow.

Whether he’s just a ghost or can interact with things physically around him is unknown at this time. How it happened is also unknown. Hopefully his soul returns to Mikado once more ~~

Rip new recruit. Shall he meet his end henceforth?

Still with all his equipment, gauntlet, and everything, except his memories of his fellows or what a samurai even is. Hadn’t determined whether he can still use the gauntlet to summon demons in our world or use any magic, or it’s simply cosmetic as he was wearing them in naraku and when he collapsed… remembers not of demons or magic…

Appears if at all, as a transparent figure of himself. Unsure to him if anyone can even see him or what happened. Finds interest in all the ‘magic’ he gets to witness in our time. Or relics as he would’ve known in Mikado.

Hopes to remember who he is, what the gauntlet is for and can do, and where he came from. In hopes that he can eventually get back to help his fellow samurai in Mikado. If he remembers that is.

Now he just has the vague feeling he’s missing and lost something deeply important; but knows not what nor whom. And is saddened by it~~

Thought it was a cool idea but now it sounds really stupid ~~~ as there’s nothing there that could possibly just do that to ones soul while leaving the body unconscious and not actively dying…. But suspension of disbelief I guess… magic doesn’t need to make sense in our world I suppose ~~~

Calling my own ideas and fantasies dumb… unbelievable… it’s supposed to be fun even if it seems stupid ~~~

Wanted to larp for fun but accidentally created characters instead….

For once creative post instead of an ‘I’m anxious darn you anxiety stop ruining my fun’ posts. A creative positive post??? Unbelievable ~~!!! lol.

Hope this is my own thought and I didn’t accidentally steal this from somewhere else cause I’m always afraid I had. Cause there’s an occult saying: “there is nothing new under the sun” so I might’ve picked it up somewhere but maybe I’m just overthinking my own creativity here…

How tf would a 1400’s society keep someone in a coma alive in the infirmary? Of course demons are a thing so…. Who knows…: are his fellows worried sick or too busy on missions to care that he’s vanished from this world? Is thee one that has a crush on him and fails to do missions in the hopes he wakes? Or does Hope make him do missions regardless?

Edit: fixed ‘for motions’ to ‘on missions’ as that’s what I intended to type. Stupid typo

[subconsciousmysteries]

I hate it when some people social 8s feel entitled to your loyalty and obedience because they have simply decided that they are your protector and defender regardless of what you have to say about it.

Sometimes said people social 8s do genuinely good things for you. Sometimes they really do defend and protect you. I mean, the the theme of social 8s barging into your life and do-gooding for you without your consent is always the same... but sometimes you fall for it because you're like "meh this is alright, she's being helpful" also I can tell shes a psychotic madwoman and I can't be bothered dealing with the tantrum she will throw if I try to set any boundaries at all.

HOWEVER had you known why the social 8 was doing these favors for you -- so that they could hold it over your head later and use it to make you do horrible things, including but not limited to: turning away from people you love because they said so, being their emotional or physical punching bag, having sex with them -- you never would have let them do anything good for you at all.

You would have rather suffered and died at the hands of all the things they "protected" you from, actually. That's how cruel and disgusting these people are.

Yes such people exist. They are real. They are social 8s. They embody everything you hate about 2s with none of the positives.

Oh! The Twig Village LARP festival is getting started!

Look at those cosplay critters! They have really put a ton of imagination into their costumes, and they are getting right into their characters…
