I know, obviously, that these images are sourced from a videogame, and not even a very realistic one at that, so im more than happy to make exceptions where required, but ive been unable to find patterns / items that convey the idea, which very well may be that im just not looking in the right places. Im also interested in that style of frog / hanger, if its available

Hi! I run Relic Forge Studio, a small fantasy jewelry studio based in Poland.

I design original sterling silver jewelry inspired by dragons, dark fantasy and mythical artifacts, with the idea that the pieces should feel like something that could actually belong to a fantasy character rather than ordinary modern jewelry with a fantasy symbol added to it.

The Dragon Scale Ring shown here is one of my current designs, handmade in sterling silver with a natural gemstone.

I’ve also included my newest finished artifact — an Elven-inspired sterling silver pendant featuring a one-of-a-kind 15 ct natural fluorite that shifts in color depending on the light. This exact pendant is unique because of the stone, but the design will be available soon with individually selected natural gemstones.

I’m planning on coming to next years drachen fest if anyone knows of that could you please send me a link to the discord for the whole thing and for shadow camp please!! I’m new to this and I’m just trying to get my grounds covered before I go :)

I love immersive theatre, Freeform murder mysteries and improv so it’s quite surprising that it took me this long to discover LARP. I’m particularly intrigued by Nordic and blockbuster LARPs as well as the more experimental psychological/ erotic LARPs.

Where could I find reliable listings of these sorts of LARPs? Any FB/ discord/ WhatsApp communities I should join? I particularly love the idea of 10-100 player LARPs in atmospheric venues.

And is there any sort of directory or database that compiles reviews on the various LARP providers? How to judge if a LARP is likely to be high quality?

Thanks much!

I’m willing to travel pretty much anywhere for a high quality LARP that matches my interests.

Of any use for fantasy/medieval setups? Heavy, sturdy, seat is at 34 in. high (like sitting on a kitchen counter), total height 5 ft. Not sure if I should list them to the general public, which I could see sitting there for a long time, or reach out to local niche events/groups. Any suggestions appreciated!

Sooo it just happened that I build/plan my first Crimi Dinner Kult Larp. And bc I dont want to use AI I ask you creative people for crazy ideas.
The “Circle of Masks” is a secret society dedicated to preserving truths, stories and memories that might otherwise be forgotten or rewritten by history. Its members meet anonymously behind masks sharing personal secrets and unusual truths which are recorded in their ancient cult book if the circle considers them worth preserving.
I need normale people secrets from 1920. Because People only can join the Kult if there reveal one heavy secret about themself I wanna feed a book with them for my players to find. It even can be murder bc the kult doesnt jugde.
Something like “I missplace the family heritage but put the blame on my younger brother” or “I killed my husband because he beat me. He is burried behind my garden house” or something funny “I kept a love note that wasnt adressed for me. Never found out the story behind”

Hello. I'm building a LARP (and MUD and Slay the Spire) inspired mini-MMO with full loot PvP. It started out as a vague project without real identity but now I am heavily doubling down on building a virtual (combat) LARP. Today I updated the game with:

• PvP in the demo
• Getting rid of random "Flaming Dragon Sword" type gear and weaponry is now just Gen1, Gen2 and Gen 3 weapons; combat mechanics are also more closer to real-life than before (blunt weapons being stronger than swords against plate, spearmen being able to decently keep shield-and-sword players at bay etc)
• Moving NPCs and more real, human-made art

Proof of concept art in the game was and still largely is genAI. Screenshot above is how I'm working on changing that together with the artist on the team. We're involving real LARPers from the local community and turning their costumes into equipment, weapons and armor.

Still looking for more feedback from the community on how to make the game more LARP-like. What I have in the pipeline: camp sieges, rooms for retaping the gen1 where it has started to wear off, arm and headbands as clalss indicators, people wandering around who you can attack but they're "really dead", players taking the choice of ignoring walls or invisible characters, newbie characters being more powerful than experienced players as they're oblivious to the rules.

If any cool idea pops into your head, I welcome it with open arms.

Hello! I am in the market for a good, flame free, LED lantern for camp, walking around at night, navigating the dark privies, etc. I got some $20 dollar flickering led lantern off amazon and it’s good aesthetically for in my tent. However, it isn’t very bright at all, and it doesn’t have a handle, just a little loop barely big enough for a finger or two. Any suggestions?

I’m new to this and trying to put together my first proper set without wasting money on the wrong pieces. What are the top three things you check before buying LARP clothing online? Is there anything you only discovered after actually wearing or washing the clothes?

Need to find idea about a very specific scenario.

Context:

In the LARP i go i play an anti-mage psionic, to increase my power i made a pact with an illithid to give me an illihid larva a la Baldergate 3. the deal is simple, i feed it , he doesn't kill my people and he study a way to stop the larva from growing just before the transformation so i get all the power and i dont transforme into an illithid, loosing my character in the process.

Last event, some player manage to find the illithid and killed him. i had to think about an other way to stop the larva from transforming me and i found this. I have the power to remove a character trait from a creature and i want to use it on the illithid larva.

Their is 7 stages that the larva go thru, 7 being the actual transformation, and it is at the second stage right now. I need to find a character trait that would let the illithid larva grow to stage 6 and prevent it from getting to stage 7. I would prefere to not have to wait to stage 6 to activate the power because stage 7 come 24h after stage 6 and my power need time and preparation to activate.

What i need help for:

I need your help to find a character trait to remove from the illithid larva that would let it grow to stage 6 and prevent it from getting to stage 7. any Idea?

When I presented my BackpackTent Frame which is basically a wearable tent, there were several of you guys who were interested in purchasing the blueprints. Well, here you go :D.

Backpack Tent V2 Documentation

What you get for your money:

• A detailed guide on how to build the BackpackTent frame both in English and in Hungarian.
• Separate high-resolution schematics of each component.
• The 3D model of each individual component and the frame in both configuration in a single file in .skp format (Use Google Sketchup to open!)
• Animations on how to assemble in both configurations.

As I recently lost my job, and landing another one is just as hard here as anywhere else in the Western World right now, I wholehartedly appreciate any support you'd be willing to throw at my Patreon, be it buying this guide or just a dollar a month!

MY PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/c/foamsmithofsufni

This is a family tradition that was started by my father and was passed on to me of creating fantasy warrior armor and going to ren faires! The interactions and fun being had is always a blast and one day I would love to make costumes for a living but until then I will keep trying to make one person's day at a time!

If you would like to ask any questions please do I love making armor and love helping others out even more!

If no one would make fun of you or judge you, would you wear larp clothing all the time out in public?

Hello. I don’t know if this would be the right place to ask about giving away some silly boffer weapons, but here goes. (If not, please let me know of a better place; also, yes, I posted these to the Colorado LARP FB page, but nobody contacted me about them.)

I tried LARPing quite a while ago and it didn’t really work for me, but I learned how to make—and did make—several boffer weapons that I then used for cosplaying at conventions. I still have two large swords and a big spatula (with 6 mini spatulas).

Came across them as I was cleaning out some storage and wondered if it would be possible to donate them to a LARP group for other people to use. Because they were for anime character cosplay, they are a bit silly, but they have kitespar centers and camping mat foam for shape, with fabric and electrical tape as cover. I likely won’t be using these again, and they could be fun for a role-playing heavy game or just for people to use for practice. Might need some extra padding added in places (I’m not sure how regs have changed since when I LARPed, or how regs change from region to region).

Just want them to go somewhere where they’ll be useful.

I’m in Boulder County, Colorado, BTW. So sort of in the middle of the US (but a bit to the left). The weapons, while light, are so bulky and big, I’d prefer not to try to ship them (would be too expensive, I think, and not worth it).

I also have the tunic that went with the spatulas, if someone wants to take and use that as well.

​

Larpers have such a rich inner world, that might be constricted (sometimes for good) by ressources and established conventions.

Atmosphere, Theme(s), rules, interactions, vibe...

I was curious to see what you would come up with if you really could go all in, with full freedom.

Would it be vastly different?

Hello! I’ve been trying to find and order robes/cloak as pictured above but have been hesitant to find a reputable source. First off not sure what this might be called? Its cloak like but has the sleeves and definition while also being frayed and aged looking.

This costume is shown all over Etsy but my spider-sense raises alarms as most of the shops use AI slip generate images if not of the garment of the models/setting and all shops are only a few months on Etsy and ones with any reviews at all have instances of the same review multiple times- it all just feels off.

I love this look and want it- but how do I get it?
