This foam tomahawk is a recreation of the weapon used by Connor in Assassin’s Creed 3. It’s 500mm by 225mm, nearly, and made from PU Latex with a fiberglass insert. Is this good enough for LARPing? It’ll depend on your marshalls and local rules but the axe head is a loop and looks rather fragile […]
Transform your horse into a dragon
There’s no reason why human LARPers should have all the fun. Horses can join in to. What? No horses in your LARP due to price and health and safety rules? Hmm. That’s a bit of a bother because I doubt SCA and other groups would consider this mask to be historically correct. Oh well. Via […]
LARP love story: Foam Fighters
Foam Fighters is a love story set around a LARP group. Mark gets dragged into his first ever LARP where he meets Gwen. The problem? Gwen’s with a rival faction. Foam Fighters have a blog for fans which lets us keep up to date with the production. This is pretty fun because they’re doing this […]
The Litany of Dagon scroll
How’s this for a LARP prop? The seller, Hawanja, describes the prop as something for a Cthulhu LARP. Do you know of any Lovecraft live action games? It doesn’t matter. This scroll, made from heavy cardstock and then treated to age it, is good enough to be a breathtaking handout in a tabletop Cthulhu game. […]
Zaphats and augmented reality clothing for LARPs
Augmented reality clothing brands, like Zappar, certainly aren’t restricted to making fashion to be adapted by LARPers. I suspect, for now, they may be restricted to fashion for geeks though. What a piece of AR clothing does is transform, on screen, when viewed with the right app. The best way to describe it is to […]
LARPers watch out: eBay bans the sale of potions and spells
The auction super-power eBay has updated its rules. As a result the selling of advice, spells, curses, hexing, conjuring, magic, prayers and the similar are no longer allowed. The move is likely aimed at the very real practise of selling good luck or sex and love charms on the site as well as curses. This […]
Bloody handprints – for LARPs and pranks
Hats off and hands out to Pillbox Designs for this superb vinyl wall art set. This collection of prints is not just art. It’s art with a message. That message is “Boo!” These bloody hand print wall decals would suit any LARP set designer or geeky household with a sense of humour.
Realm of LARP video
The Nerdist have put together a web-based reality show that follows a group of LARPers. I know – cause for concern. LARP has a long history of getting very bad coverage from anything that records moving pictures. Mind you, let’s consider some recent attempts. Leeds Student TV produced LARPing around which was pretty good at […]
A Cthulhu mask for a masquerade ball
Have you been invited to a masquerade ball? This blogger once went to one as part of a work Christmas party – all the rest have been roleplaying events. In all cases this Cthulhu inspired mask would have been a sure hit. Right now you can pick the mask up from Looking Glass Leather over […]
Amazing tents for LARPers
The UK geeky gadget site Firebox added this “Fully Booked” tent to their site. Is this an ideal tent for field based LARPers? As it happens, the company supplying these tents – FieldCandy – have a host more. Each one is a limited edition and powerful design. I’m especially fond of the battered suitcase style […]
