My real name is the same as my nick: Maria.
One of the German larpers, alongside Rraurgrim and some guys that are not as active.
My first roleplaying experiences were P&P but when a friend discovered larp he talked me into trying it and I did - after initial doubts that a hobby where adults run around in the woods, wearing silly costumes, hitting each other with rubber and shouting jibberish would not be cringeworthy.
What can I say, I never went back to tabletop and dice. Larp is just so much more: crafts&creativity, physicality, raw emotions, adrenaline, visual pleasure.
I am also interested in "international larp cultural exchange" and whenever I'm abroad for a longer time I try to find local larp groups. So far I've met some nice French and American larpers (hello Amber!).
My group has been larping since 1998 (high school), mainly enjoying events that would be categorized as being of the "medieval fantasy combat" type by US standards - but the focus here in Germany is definitely not boffer battles but roleplay and adventure. I've some experience with NPCing for Vampire live and historical larps and would really like to do future settings at least once. Right now, post-apocalyptic settings are on the rise in Germany...
My group founded their own incorporated society (for tax and liability reasons), Condra e.V., to organize larps in 2001. If you understand German, visit us at: www.condra.de
It's all volunteer work, we are not allowed to make any kind of profit. Since the millenium we have organized over 50 events, ranging from the smallest "one-day larp taverns" or "runs" (think Shadowrun, but fantasy-style) to experimental larps with fantasy and historical settings (1950s, Cthulhu, 1920s, 1970s) to the big budget (30,000$, two castles, underwater dungeon, 200 participants) anniversary celebration. Right now we have calmed down a bit because some of us are moving away, some no longer have time because of their jobs, some are starting families. We still offer a monthly tavern larp that is free of charge but with no plot and no NPCs.
As for real life, my final master exams are coming up and the PhD phase of my education begins this summer so I'm not sure if I will be able to do any larping. Other interests of mine include camping at ren faires with my 15th century group, baroque dances, sewing, martial arts, all things Japanese and much, much more.
If you're interested in German larp (fest larps, small larps, weapons, rules, whatever) I'll be happy to answer questions.
Sounds very good. I myself love alot of things Japanese. Through youtube I have made some friends in germany who do Kriegslive and some other fests over there. It's beena couple years but I am planning on doing the local renfair sene here. Like I used to in california. I am hoping to someday help with a fest style larp here in the states. _________________ Just when you thought the worse was over. Here I am. :0)
I am Richer Martyn and this is my first forum entry here.. Since I am new to forum community and I feel I am in midst of my own learning curve. I feel sometimes, that I have to learn a lot, hope you guys have patient on me.
I guess I should introduce myself, too, though I've been aroud the forums for some time. My name is Martina and I use nicknames based on "Liliana" depending on the role. I'm from the Czech Republic in the middle Europe.
I got to LARPing 3 years ago by a complete accident. I bought a tarot deck of celtic dragons and there was a section on dragon magic. I tried to find it online, but insted got on a site explaining how LARP worked through a DnD example. I got interested as I liked fantasy, read more and found a game in my region. Made all things I needed and went alone, without any real idea what to expect.
First thing I noticed was how friendly everyone was, something I've never really experienced before. And then the fun started. I must admit I didn't play really as much as I should since I met my current boyfriend there and we were making long walks and talking instead of gaming. I loved it when at nights when it was cold and we were sitting at the fire, we would embrace each other under one cape. Absolute romantica.
Next year we got only to some combat-oriented games, but it was fun never-the-less. Only this year we were on a few proper LARPs and all were great. I'm getting more and more confident in playing and designing costumes and I'm making lots of great friends. Only few weeks ago I got to playing a DnD style game for the first time in my life with them.
In fact, I thank for all the good things in my life to my tarot card deck

[quote="TurkishHitmanH2O"]My name is Lucas Jackson and I live just East of San Diego. I am a martial arts instructor and am also in the military.
I am starting a watergun based assassination game (HitmanH2O) that is loosely based on the Streetwars game.
I am new to all of this but excited to get involved!

Sandiego is a good area to have such a thing. Too bad you didn't do this last year or the year before. Since then I have moved back to my home state. _________________ Just when you thought the worse was over. Here I am. :0)
