1. Are you going to try LARPing? 2. Are there any other questions I didn't answer?..ask them below!!

900%

[@texasbeast239]

I absolutely want to. But I'm a hyper preparer. I want to do buhurt full steel combat as well, so I want to focus on getting that kit first and then using it for double duty (the armor) in LARP. But that is uber $$$. So it just keeps getting put off...

[@cody2231]

Yes! I may have to add a few more LARPs onto my calendar now 😂

[@elasticharmony]

Larping could be very useful, because

[@elasticharmony]

It could be very useful, do people really want this to be true. Like elf ears wishing to be an elf ?

[@SkillTree]

Hey! Loving your content! Hope to see you on an adventure someday!

[@ylianad6015]

I love your content Skill Tree! I’ve been watching your videos to see what I can try to improve for my LARP dreams. Keep it up!

[@SkillTree]

@ylianad6015 thank you so much! Maybe we can colab at some point! See you at an event!

As a tabletop RPer, this video was VERY insightful and very well done. I think in your talking about wanting to build up a community, a discord could be a great way to make those connections happen too! Good luck regardless how you build it up! :)

[@the_vintage_reserve]

I’ve never larped before but because of you and withers videos I’m going to Bicolline with TVN this year. Very excited for the experience and to make a new friend group.

[@hatch4010]

I love the way you nutshell it and keep your videos simple and accessible for anyone. I've recently started attending Hynafol, after wanting to for three years, and what a community! "LARP will ruin any other fun activity you can do as an adult" LOL! You ROCK & ROLL milady!

[@amberlovely1]

I live in Houston and my bf and I just found out about Hynafol. I really want to go, but the price is a little outside our budget at the moment. I keep hearing great things about it though!

[@datumzinememories]

These are just highly interesting to watch. I hope to see more.

[@cody2231]

Excellent video! So, much detail that I haven't seen in any other video! I'll have to watch this again! I'm for sure going to Hynafol. Maybe Bicolline (need to look into the logistics). I need to find some sci-fi LARPs.

[@justlanchen]

neotropolis :)

[@christopherbaby3842]

I've watched so many Bicolline videos I'm starting to recognize people from other videos lol.

[@justlanchen]

haha oh I love that!! it is a similar group

[@richardmarriott-smith9517]

Great video, thanks. I’m definitely going to go to a LARP. I’ve been playing D&D for years, and would love to go to a LARP. I’m in Bakersfield, California so could you recommend a LARP in SoCal? Thanks!

[@henk-maartenhortensius9462]

i larp now for now 6 years, its a amazing hobby to do

[@cadensouth4672]

9:58 is one of the sickest cosplays I have seen in a minute yall should she this selfie I paused on😂👀

[@justlanchen]

its so sick

[@leonguyen743]

YESS BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

[@Agent-wi7hu]

I will look more into the larps in Sweden, would like to just walk around medieval towns trying to play a lute lol.

[@SylvestreDupoux]

Oooh, I wanted to do a larp in Sweden, but man, without a good accent it seems impossible

[@justlanchen]

you can do this!

[@dennisholland2273]

Neat. I'm starting to get the vibe, might try it sometime. looking forward to next posting.

[@justlanchen]

[@Aratil]

That British accent was not lost on me 🙂

[@justlanchen]

:))))))

[@TalkingAboutGames]

Excellent guide!

[@justlanchen]

thank you!!

[@Saminthea]

I'm looking forward to Aetherim in Maine!

[@Evan-lr8nq]

I would love to go to a Larp. I have been playing ttrpg for decades now. Would it be weird for a 54 year old man to try a Larp?

[@justlanchen]

not at all!

[@aneue]

Would love to attend Hynofal one day thanks to your videos, but not sure if I would want to go to a smaller larp scene feel like it would be slightly more intimidating. If any good ones in Wisconsin let me know maybe i can check it out

[@WestOfEarth]

Fantastic video! I've already responded under your pinned comment, but I am curious about your thoughts on European LARPs. Have you been to any? Is there one you'd really like to attend?

[@justlanchen]

not yet but going this year!!! yes Bothwell :)

[@justlanchen]

thank you for the questions :)

[@scubarick4088]

Hi. Im interested in going to Hyanfol however I have a question that I can not find the answer to. Unfortunately I need to use a CPAP at night to sleep that uses electricity. Is there anyway you could reach out to your community and find out what people do that need a CPAP to sleep. Thank you very much

Bearclaw: Was in front of you, was behind you, but eventually got killed by you.

[@DenshaOtoko2]

I love LARPing!

[@Montie-Adkins]

Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt!

[@justlanchen]

Dodge!

[@Montie-Adkins]

@@justlanchen 🤣

[@egrintarg230]

I wonder if that old Safety Dance music video was some kind of early LARP.

[@dapperknight3420]

I don't even wanna do the battle stuff honestly. I just wanna roleplay with other people. I want to be the kind of player that just helps others with their own stories. Or maybe be an assassin, that sounds like fun.

[@justlanchen]

you can do it all!

[@Incandescentkiki]

16:52 I’ll never forget how mad I was that in the first 30 seconds of my FIST LARP BATTLE EVER I got hit in the face with a pike. Even though it was an illegal hit so I wasn’t out, I was still pissed 😂 Also this is my first time seeing the footage of me stuck in the belt at 21:34 hahahahahahaha LANCHEN I CANT wait to go to our next larp together 👀

[@justlanchen]

hahahahah I know I finally had a place where I could share us being dumb hahah I KNOW IM SO EXCITED OMG

[@kodywolf12]

Maybe only other elves would notice what just happened at 7:16 - I sure did - and thought - what just happened there? ? :)

[@PBRstreetgang88]

I’m going to bring mace to the next battle.

[@justlanchen]

ehhhh I might reconsider that...hard to fight with

[@PBRstreetgang88]

@ You said bring a sword or mace to the battle.?

[@justlanchen]

@@PBRstreetgang88 I personally only fight with sword only but you have the option to bring any weapon of your choosing. Mace has strict fighting rules where you can only swing from side to side which makes it hard to get anyone out

[@PBRstreetgang88]

@ it shoots like ten feet and burns quite bad.

[@pkerep1]

Greetings from HR!!! lol: you: but it's not a LARP and I can't fight with swords

[@RolandoRatas]

I've always wondered why RPG LARPING and big fantasy battles LARPING are not so big in the United Kingdom compared to say Germany, Russia, U.S. etc Maybe it's due to the rainy weather.

[@justlanchen]

oh no there are a tonnnn in the uk!! I've found so many there

[@elasticharmony]

Id do it

[@valkyrieneedsfood]

Chat GPT for backstory? C'mon now Lanchen.

[@justlanchen]

I don't got time lol

[@ltdan-px5mm]

Are you cleo abarm's daughter

[@Marcus-p5i5s]

LOL! We were doing this long before the acronym LARP was even invented. It's funny watching young people try to teach what we invented so long ago

[@77stephani77]

Curious the price range of these fun experiences, 🤓🫶🏻

[@amberlovely1]

From my research, they seem to be decently priced for admission. The costumes and gear you need plus travel expenses might add up though depending on where you live and how thrifty you are. It varies from LARP to LARP, but I would say $50 to $500

[@justlanchen]

yes! and day passes can be even less!
