Live Action Role-Playing Games, often abbreviated as LARP, are interactive games where participants physically act out their characters' actions and stories. Players typically dress in costumes and use props to enhance their experience, immersing themselves in a fictional world. The gameplay often involves a combination of storytelling, improvisation, and strategic thinking. In LARP, players create characters with specific traits and backgrounds, often inspired by genres like fantasy, science fiction, or historical settings. The games can vary in structure, from organized events with rules and objectives to more freeform gatherings. Popular themes include medieval fantasy, vampire lore, and post-apocalyptic scenarios.
