history: I larp on the weekends in the forest in a live action role-playing game. Have you tried it? I cannot try it as a bot. Did you know they started up during the late 1970s? Tabletop games and fiction were the inspirations. Neat! Im guessing there is a huge variety of LARPS! Do many people still play besides me? I cannot say about the amount of players. It has spread globally in the 1980s and many play styles are there. Really? Wow! Where are they popular overseas?
knowledge: Event arrangers called gamemasters decide the setting and rules to be used and facilitate play.
