My First LARP Experience

[@lyiansoria1013]

I’m so happy seeing a POC pov talking about larp, I’ve watched a lot of LARP youtubers like Momo too cuz I find it so interesting but you’re the first POC I’ve seen talking about it

[@Tominzay]

I know what you mean! I love a lot of the mainstream larpers but we definitely need more POC talking about larp and sharing their experiences. I'm glad this could be helpful for you!

[@georgespier1907]

Going alone, especially for the first time to a game. is daunting. I did that the first time, and I was shivering in my costume as the game started. I'm happy your first game left you so happy!

[@Tominzay]

omg it can be so nerve racking! lol I totally relate to the shivering while all dressed up. I like to think we took a leap of faith.

[@georgespier1907]

@@Tominzay It does feel like a total Leap of Faith. I'm glad my LARP does a "New Player Quest" every time to help get the new players into the game. I cannot wait to hear how your experience evolves!

[@justaconfusedpeach6314]

Ah! That's so cool! I go to a group called 'The Empire' in England! and its so fun! There's normally about 1.5k people that attend each time (more than 4 times a year) and it's just so enjoyable. My favorite part is (since I'm a healer) the drama of running in character into a battle scene and having someone put a shield up and bandaging people's wounds. I had one instance where I saw my friend on the floor and I ran out (she already has a healer) with my shield (thats about a metre in width) and saying "continue, ive got you. ill hold them off for as long as i can". Dude, larping is just so fun!

[@MoMoOBrien]

Your character is so pretty and this video is so good!!! I also struggle with accents 😂

[@commander20]

you're 2 years late mo mo

[@softie_vinyl]

yay mo mo is here!

[@brookewallace5789]

Welcome to the LARP community! I am not a part of Twin Masks, but I have heard so many good things about it!

[@Tominzay]

it's a really great larp! would totally recommend

[@MerrittandMythos]

This is so in depth for a first time larp video! Its so cool seeing how people get involved in this hobby.

[@mezvii8260]

this is so cool! i'm going to try going to twin mask next spring and i'm unbelievably excited for it. thanks for the video :D

[@Tominzay]

ahhh! that's so exciting. I can't wait till we can physically be in game again. it will be so fun!

[@DeepSchist]

I *think* I might be the Robin you are referring to? Wears a kilt and tosses on a bad mixed Scottish and Irish accent when not too tired. Also loves to 'complain' about A) the obelisk/faestone, B) the first Battle of Port Frey, and C) however current events relate to either of these things (also, sometimes, demons or why Cestral is simply *better*). It is awesome to see a new player perspective and its a bummer that games are currently on hold barring safety from the plague in such close quarter circumstances. Have you been making the online events? While they aren't quite the same, I've gotten several awesome plot hooks from them (though I think the Decimals might have adopted me in response). Wishing you all the best, and see you some Gathering soon!

[@Tominzay]

Omg it’s you!! It was so much fun interacting with you at the tavern. You told me so many amazing stories about the beginnings of port frey! The decimals got you 😂 they have been having some really interesting looking mods. I have gone for one of the events and the mod was so much fun! Not the same but still so good in a different way. Definitely excited to attend the next one

[@Lyki27]

I am glad you had a great time! I have been larping for about 13 years and always hope new people have a good time getting into the genre.

[@Tominzay]

That's so incredible. Yes I had loads of fun! Can't wait to go back.

[@joshythehand2960]

Young lady , I have been a fantasy scifi junkie since the early 80s. And I must say you make an incredible elf. Beautiful and you played her well. Good for you. And damn that looks like so much fun. And as I remember.. in the simmilieron at the end there are a few pages of basic elvish and how to inflect the accents for it.

[@Tominzay]

joshy the hand oh wow thank you so much! That made me feel really good 😊. I hope you get to larp one day if that’s what you want to do

[@paulaassis3065]

Love the character. Purple looks really good on you.

[@elizabethzelaya6710]

Hi! I really loved this video. I’ve been wanting to go to Twin Mask for so long and this video made me even more excited for it! Hopefully I’ll finally be able to go after the quarantine ends! 😆

[@Tominzay]

Elizabeth Zelaya this makes me so happy! That was literally me before February. I look forward to meeting you there after quarantine ends! I can only imagine how happy that gathering will be. Stay safe!

[@meowspurr.]

i’m so happy seeing more larp youtubers 💕✨

[@hayley6094]

It's great to see that you had fun! I was going to go in March, sigh. I've been on the TM Discord and made friends with Ashton- he's so great. Maybe I'll see you on there sometime!

[@Tominzay]

Aww sad, I was looking forward to the March one too. The Discord is a really great place though, Ashton is super cool and friendly. Have you maybe attended any of the online events?

[@rowholm17]

I loved your video, thank you for sharing your experience! I was planning to go to my first event before quarentine hit. I know they were running some online mods, and I was wondering if you could give your perspective on how they compare? Thanks!

[@wowielamo7793]

Hello! I'm the Twin Mask Larper mentioned in the video who plays Scout! I have played the online mods that have happened and as much as they are fun, they do not compare to the real experience of live larping. We have active RP chats that are always open to players so we have something to do. The past ttrpg mods we have done have been exciting however! But I personally like the live action aspect more, which unfortunately we cannot get with online games and roleplay. There is a personal aspect of the in person games that you cannot get online, and I think it's something a lot of people miss. When you roleplay through the internet it kind of takes away what makes Larp...well Larp. I am grateful for what we have managed in the past and I am excited for future in person games... whenever that may be. I hope to see you at a future in person game! I hope this helped! -Ashton

[@mordredoforkney6185]

Just got back from a LARP a couple days ago, felt so good to fight after sitting inside for a year!

[@Tominzay]

I can only imagine! ahh i'm so happy for you! it gives me a lot of hope that we will all be able to larp soon.

[@treblazer]

i was kinda iffy on larping cause i didn’t see any pocs which isn’t a bad thing but i didn’t know if there was something bad underlying but i guess that’s me being superstitious and you look awesome

[@ProducedByMERC]

Same here, this was refreshing to see

[@neattea3452]

Same so I was hesitant

[@TheBeardedAxe]

Love your enthusiasm :) When we get to larp again I'd love to see pictures of the events. I know it's hard to do when your at the event but we would all appreciate if you did. Keep the videos coming.

[@Tominzay]

Thank you so much! Will absolutely do my best to get pictures at game next time. It's such a beautiful space!

[@dankpattyy2122]

Just found your channel! I’m so envious I want to go to twin mask soooo badly

[@Tominzay]

Absolutely do if you have the opportunity! Definitely something to experience at least once.

[@DeepSchist]

Hey! Did you make it to this month's Gathering? I was hobbled a bit due to a foot injury but there were some fun shenanigans!

[@femiwelch3849]

I know this may sound weird but where did you get those ears? I've searched and never was able to find latex ears for black skin.

[@Tominzay]

Not weird at all! I too have struggled to find cheap options for ears in my skin tone. If you have a bit more money then I have heard really good things about Ardani ears. For mine, I bought them of Amazon and they came in white so I had to color them with paint, foundations and eyeshadow. Tbh it’s not a very permanent solution and my paint ended chipping off in some places but it worked in a pinch. I hope this is helpful!

[@jeekatmori5740]

I wish i can do this

[@Tominzay]

I honestly thought that I would never be able to do! sometimes things are more possible than they first seem 😊💕

[@sometimessemhar]

I wanna go on an adventure like that 🥺🥺 ur corset is beautifulllll where did u find it??

[@Tominzay]

thank you so much! I got it off amazon. I hope u get to go on ur adventure!

[@SweetPinkPiahh]

Hiiii I love this video

[@andrewflowers6794]

Yay

[@Zoey-yk5eu]

I’m planning to go right when quarantine is over! Maybe I’ll see you, I’m a demon Dace noble so we could be fancy friends

[@Tominzay]

that would be so cool! Aurelie can rock with a Dacian; that would be a lot of fun 😉

[@Scampcam]

I know exactly what you mean, when you say you got into it and started consuming Larp media. XD

[@SweetPinkPiahh]

Coool 👋 hi

[@Tominzay]

Pia Omatseye hey Pia! It’s been a minute. I hope you’re safe. 💕

[@valentijnrozeveld3773]
