How to Run a LARP | Ep. 2 | Staffing Your LARP

[@DollopussD]

This is a brilliant resource. Would you say a year is enough time to set up a small (micro) larp for a birthday party?

[@LarpShire]

Yes, certainly!

Golden nuggets! This is the make or break, behind-the-scenes key to an outstanding LARP. Thanks for making this guidance accessible and actionable!

omg ive been looking forward to this, found your channel a few weeks ago and was sad there was only one episode of this series

[@LarpShire]

Great to hear! We plan to keep adding to this series regularly. Glad to have you along for the ride!

Love it! Tell me more! I'm trying to start a LARP of my own here in Washington and I would love to hear allll the details!

[@LarpShire]

Thank you! When we started out running LARPs, there was very little info out there to help us so we had to spend a lot of time with trial and error before we found what works. You’re the reason why we want to make these videos and we hope we can help you on your journey!

One thing is to beware diving off the deep end with things. Far to many people just think of it as a destination/longer duration things. A LARP covers more than the longer ones that pop up, having a setup for short duration ones, perhaps even event ones... The event LARPs tend to be a couple hours long and is normally tied to something else...a lot of gaming conventions have ones like that or they might have them with groups in areas. A lot of them are indoors as well, being in a few conference rooms or similar. They're also easier to get space for. As an additional thing, a good idea is to also consider professionals for some things, having a lawyer go over things to make sure you cover things that might cause a lot of problems before dealing with the aftermath of getting sued because someone was injured.

I was just hoping something like this would exist a few months ago This is rad, looking forward to more!

[@chuckwaltrip7020]

New to all of it, but found it amazingly interesting! Only ever played D&D a few times around 15 years ago, so I’m about as new as it gets. But I like the creativity!

[@LarpShire]

Welcome! One of my favorite things about LARP is just how many ways you can incorporate your creativity into the hobby. Whether it be music, art, poetry, sewing, dancing, crafting, etc. it can all be used in your game!
