LARP - Live Action Roleplay

[Xarra]

I'm not sure where these would go - it's kinda sport, but they're people! Just some shots from over Easter - I took 1200, like over 700... Processed 69 so far.

Note: Posing people/asking them to stand still/stopping the action is not an option in LARP (Live Action Roleplay) and these are all hand held and caught as people went past!

It all looks a bit fruity to me What's going on? What is the sport?

Caught it nicely...whatever it is!

Ah, LARP, or Live Action Roleplay, is where a bunch of people go play what has been described as 'cross country theatre', 'Warcraft with foam and latex weapons' and various other terms.

This is at one run professionally called Maelstrom, although the make-up/costumes are all done by the players. It's basically improvised theatre in a fantasy world with the other players as the internal audience and no plot other than that you make yourself... It's great fun.

It's a fun hobby - it's not actually weird when you're doing it.
