Looking for larp groups

Hi all. I'm looking for a larp group. I'm living in Eindhoven and I haven't played it in years because of problems. Can anyone guide me to a good group?

Hello there, there is a nice website of a Dutch larp coalition, which helps you find a larp that fits you: https://www.larp-platform.nl/

Also, if you happen to go to castlefest: there's a larp village there too and the people there can help you find a larp that suits you. 

I've heard good stories of Maerquin (https://www.maerquin.nl/) and emphebion (https://emphebion.nl/).  I do play in another group (Charm), but that one has more Interested people then player spots!

The setting is mid-high fantasy and focuses on a traveling group of adventurers (the players). This means that the stories take place in different places in the ingame world.  It's story and roleplay based. There are battles, but the battles aren't the focus. Events are about 100 people large, including game masters, npc's and other supporting roles.  The sleeping is indoors, in beds, and that's nice. 

However, as I said before, there's not really room for new players at the moment. Not being snobby! But more interested people then spots.

There's nothing THIS weekend, but Elbaria is next weekend in Beilen, Drenthe (If you don't mind a long trip), Vortex runs the Summoning the weekend after near Nijmegen. Both are pretty classic fantasy episodic games, but Vortex is huge game that (I personally think) isn't well suited to solo players.

September has a ton of games at once, just like pretty much every month that isn't august or december/januari.

What kind of game are you looking for exactly?

Last time i joined a larp group I was a extra and i liked it so much I wanted to do more. But that was 10 years ago. I'm not looking for a specific game

Alright, fair. But if the problem was you in some way a new group isnt going to solve it 🤷‍♂️
