[@zacharygholtzclaw]

You should totally review more LARPs!!! As it’s a semi expensive hobby, it’s hard to figure out which ones to try! I know I am super hesitant about going because I don’t want to spend $100 on something that might end up being crap! So having an experienced LAPR and content creator put out reviews like this would be SUPER helpful!

[@specs6637]

I wanna try this out, it looks like a lot of fun

[@anerdwhowritesessays9931]

What does NPC time mean? I'm new to larping l'm sorry.

[@darksteelhero1]

NPC time is a block of time where instead of playing your character instead you get sent out as a variety of Non-Player characters and interact with the world as an enemy or random person in the world

[@anerdwhowritesessays9931]

@@darksteelhero1 Thank you so much!

[@red_comet_3326]

So quick question as a... younger person... I'm 15, but I want to try larping it seems like a really fun experience but I nervous does any have first time recommendations for me p.s i also live in Michigan

[@ryanbreden1516]

Howdy. So I started larping when I was 14 and it's a bit hard to find a lot of games that allow people under 18. But some games would let you play with signed permission from a parent or guardian. Best way to find a game in your area is to look up your state or general area for games. You'll be surprised what you will find.

[@ryanbreden1516]

Let me know if you have any other questions dude. I love helping people get into the lobby

[@red_comet_3326]

@@ryanbreden1516 thanks man I let you know if I got any questions

[@darksteelhero1]

I know with dystopia rising specifically it's typically 16+ with minors needing parent permission but overall it just depends on what larp you go to. I know a fantasy one I used to do allowed kids as young as 10 play as non-combat characters.

[@chloeschultz7131]

Very good. Did a good job of hyping up the game and also pointing out faults fairly and honestly

[@loganfrandrup6590]

Could you make a guide for thous who want to start LARPing. I have been thinking about it and it looks like a lot of fun, but I have no idea how to go about it.

[@ryanbreden1516]

Getting into LARP can be a bit confusing to get into a first but larp is a very open community. I recommend looking up larps in your area by just typing "larps in (state here)". If you find a game you like try joining the larps Facebook group if they have one and ask for recommendations. It sounds scary but like I said most folks are understanding

[@loganfrandrup6590]

@@ryanbreden1516 Thank you

[@solerosable]

If this continues to be a series (reviews and such) I feel like it would be a missed opportunity to not call it Savvy Davvy.

[@DavidCEberhartII]

Fair and honest review. Would love to run into you at an event.

[@razorgrand]

Hello! A DR Ar Player/Marshal (Guide) here if the game feels clunky it's only because we just switched to a new system from our old. Glad you had fun and definitely go back a second time because there are always the times you go and it's eh but more times than not it is amazing! However agree with you on some points. Hope to run into you one day at a DR game!

[@douglasbrigham1678]

Can we get a video when you go back the second time see if the all the kinks have been worked out

[@Glaswalker1001]

If you were ever to come to Europe for some post-apocalyptic larp, I would invite you to joins us in "bunker springs". Less fighting (because of the deadly rules), but more character interaction and mean grimy, dirty drama. Especially if you visit the raiders that life in "the village". Lots of fun.

[@notorious.scoundrel]

Davvy's such a babe, damn

[@gypseytails9053]

I would love to do a mad max like larp for three reasons, 1: I love to try larp 2: I’m in a desert town and 3: I have never tried it before

[@polkadotalien1]

Airsoft is a good things to try

[@shimmerzcosplay2259]

DR is a good LARP for those vibes.

[@buboniccraig896]

Battle Creek? Didnt IDubbz go there for his video Full Force?

[@cemulida]

Great video, that was my first ever event with DR too! I was the big guy who chased you into and out of the parking lot! I had a blast and loved your character taunting me as I chased them.

[@chemicalzen7632]

well its still cheaper than NERO...my god I could have paid off my student loans with NERO.....looks cool though!

[@nicktongret6211]

Would love to see more of your LARP content. I keep seeing the pictures you put in your videos and want to know more about the game and character you're portraying

[@JasperForge]

I went to One of these with a group of friends once. I would absolutely not ever go again.

[@harmonlanager2670]

What was wrong with it if I may ask?

[@ezzifalgo9579]

I've been playing since before this new rules system hit and tbh I really appreciate this fresh take from someone who hadn't been playing. Always refreshing to see a different perspective. New player mods typically run on the first night, which may explain the bewing tosed to the wolves feeling on saturday. I've not yet been to DR: MI but expanding beyond the southern triangle of AR, TX, and OK is definitely on my list!

[@shimmerzcosplay2259]

I started going to Dystopia Rising (Florida chapter/Gatorland) in October and while there are some kinks, its because the 3.0 rule set just released in 2019 and the game as a whole is trying to figure everything else. I cant speak for other chapters obviously, but I love everyone from the Florida game (and by extension a good bit of the Georgiabama game (40 Watt)). If you're looking for a good LARP with continuing plot lines, DR is a super good LARP for that because its not just one month out of the entire year. Its every month.

[@remingtonwright6796]

Have at least one friend who might play with me, but also a metric BUTT TON of nerf guns (I once hosted a Hunger Games larp in the park of my hotel. Sooo I might be showing this to my friend and looking up where the PA chapter is

[@jennythebean9117]

God I’m late but hey have you looked into the tabletop RPGs? There’s a self published game by the same creators of the Larp and one made by Onyx Path called evolution.

[@polkadotalien1]

Just play airsoft. They have events like this except you shoot people in the face and it's 1 damage and you have 1hp. They are even starting up zombie events with pistols,shotguns and Springers. Lots of rp and quests. You can even just get a group going locally pretty easily.

[@jeremiahlewis410]

In Alaska, so probably not able to get one up here, but still, Davvy, this was very helpful. Thanks! There's a reason I keep watching.

[@clawgerber1992]

dude, you ever been to waypoint north? is fun and in Michigan? (find us on facebook) pls

[@chirpynsleepy958]

Hey Davy I know this isn't the purpose of this video but you're a really good looking guy! That's all, enjoy your day.

[@dystopiarisingoklahoma6821]

Great video! I haven't made it up to the Michigan chapter yet, but I'm glad to hear you had a good time. If you've ever got any questions about the world as a whole, feel free to reach out. I won't be of much use as far as the lore of the Michigan game goes, but we've got a lot of content focused on helping first time players hit the ground running.

[@Harleylover14]

Me: I wonder if people hook up at these things. DR: "The Glory Hole" 😳

[@bob89377]

Did florida DR for a while. Its pretty fun, but yea the staff tends to be the problem. Especially when some of them go on power trips both as NPCs and as staff. Plus there are some larp mechanics I hate which got used waaaay too often for me liking. Mainly stealth and paralysis mechanics. When a PC does it its one thing. But when every other NPC decides to sneak around by walking right by me in stealth mode then yells at you for not following the rules when I react to your presence ( like dude can you at least try to be stealthy? You are right in front of me in the light, but fine ill ignore you) and then pops right out to paralyze me (cool guess ai don’t get to play this encounter..), it starts to smell of cheese.

[@allstatejake]

As someone who used to LARP I was laughing my ass off at the video of nerds who have obviously never fought anyone swing sticks around.

[@madmachanicest9955]

I have a huge maintains background and love to build shit maybe ill try this out. I think being a crafting npc would be fun.

[@studentmoviesandvibes1671]

could you make a viedo on how to find LARPs in your area? like where would you start lookin?

[@jrk22233]

Might join I gotta research the hobby a bit

[@senorali]

I love both D&D and nerf, and let me tell ya, hearing your narration over a shot of someone shouldering a ZS RevReaper felt weirdly awesome. Btw, if you want to replicate that childlike nerf battle euphoria for very little money, go buy either a RevReaper or a Nailbiter. Not very practical in a nerf war, but endlessly fun, and they're both on sale for well under $20 for the holidays.

[@pluubooruu]

Davvy, let's cuddle.

[@chriskaschafsky5846]

Ok Davvy, you got me to check it out. Sounds like this blind man is going to offer 12 hours to the first show.

How is it for people who have never had a good experience in a larp?

was this 2.0 or 3.0?

Very honest review, nice job man. Also that outfit is snazzy!

[@darbisd]

Daddy Davy show us more about larp. First time I heard about it here in Brazil was a silly story from a silly guy and it didn't gave me any idea on how it is or how much fun it could be. So thanks for showing us and telling us about it.

[@necrolet]

As for the "thrown into the deep end" aspect, most games have a module that gets run on friday at game on to introduce new characters into the game and give a feel for what to expect. Sadly coming in Saturday, you miss out on that.

[@heathriley3692]

Battle Creek? I heard there was a Big Brawl there back in the 1930s. :) What I think of every time I hear the name.

[@mathcamel]

I've had a ton of fun at DR and I'm glad you had a good time. We recently got a new rule system (referred to as 3.0) and it's been an unpleasant experience honestly. It gives me a lot of hope that you had fun with the system your first time out.

[@Wavealicious]

Great review! Good balance of pro's and con's :)

[@shadyjackstavern1648]

[@deathknelle3868]

Hey Davvy, I'm interested in trying LARP for the first time and am really interested in VTM (Vampire the Masquerade). Do you know how I can start finding these kinds of organizations or groups? Really appreciate any info, thank you!

[@luvhair255]

Not Davvy, obviously, but you can sometimes find groups on bynightstudios.com, though I'm not sure how updated they are. You can also find some groups on Meetup and Facebook. Simply search for VtM and your city/area. My current group is on a break, but I know of a couple more around my area, and I'm pretty sure they keep FB pages.

[@camilogrimm5046]

Ok chappy

[@hazama0634]

Wait 4 hours NPC time is cheaper than 2 hours That seems like backwards marketing

[@DavvyChappy]

The NPC time is mandatory. The idea is that you do more hours of NPC time to shave some dollars off the price.

[@hazama0634]

Davvy Chappy oh that makes more sense
