Last event for me was back in September. Nothing like sitting around a fire, drinking some good drink and gambling that IC coin. April seems so far away and I haven’t booked into any player events in the UK between now and then.

Planning on making some camp bits in the mean time and repairing some kit. I am not falling victim to scrolling through listings and buying shiny things!!!(I absolutely will).

So what’s everyone’s plans in the long dark for most?

I got my first few pieces of attire for my completely new LARP-persona that I intend to go live with next year. Completely new to the LA part of LARP, but quite a lot years in the RP part.

Looking for general advice on how to add to my attire, what to go for, what are general beginner mistakes to avoid.

But also looking for some specific advice in terms of style. Right now I bought some stuff to see what fits and how it looks, got it relatively cheaply. My idea is pretty much a late medievalised Fantasy Roman-Valyrian look in the end. Elder Scrolls Cyrodiilic Empire meets Valyrian Freehold basically. My character's colours will be blue, blue-grey, grey range, I want to use green and burgundy for accents and layers.

I got some inspirations and ideas, but really need some more practical and experienced input.

Looking forward to hearing your C&C! :)

Edit:

Climate northern to central mediterranean is the goal. Equally adjusted for LARP-summer season and me hating hotness. :D

Profession: He is an Imperial Knight, that means he is a noble who had both a professional education as well as the martial upbringing of a classical knight+legionary (in his world). His profession is in fact an engineer, like roads, wells, fortifications etc. I actually got charcoal, chalk, a plumb bob and wax tablet on my to-buy list

I recently started larping (UK) and unfortunately some of thr larp attendees have ruined the hobby for me, lots of catty high-school mentally while being mid 20s+.

To cheer me up do you guys have any funny larp stories, words of wisdom etc?.

I'd love to hear it 🩵
