A Little Guide to LARP

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Have you played a tabletop rolelaying game or an MMORPG?

 

The odds are that if you’re on this web store, browsing the titles, then you probably have.

 

Have you heard of the strange world of Live Action Role Playing?

 

If you’ve been around tabletop games for a while, or been to a convention, then the odds are that you’ve heard of this style of gaming, perhaps even seen it done. Or maybe you’ve seen a movie like “The Knights of Badassdom” and you’re wondering what it really takes to get involved in a live action roleplaying group (beyond the Hollywood fantasy).

 

Worry no longer, The Little Guide to LARP gives you all the information that you need to engage in this style of roleplaying. Consider it like a guidebook of “best practices” compiled from 20 years of live roleplaying experience, with insight provided from dozens of people from around the world including some of the pioneers of the genre in the 1980s.

 

This guide is not designed to be a stand-alone system, you can find plenty of those for free at various sites around the internet, it’s designed to fill in the gaps that many of those systems have. It’s a bit like the “What is a roleplaying game?” found at the start of many game books, except that this information consists of tips and tricks to get the most out of your LARP experience regardless of what game you play.

 

The advice is divided into four eight page booklets: Noob (for players who are about to engage in their first session), Veteran (for players who have played a few games and are ready to take leadership roles within the game), Avatar (for players who are ready to move beyond the game and into the role of storyteller/narrator/GM), and Deity (for those who are looking at organising their own LARP events).

 

This is designed to be simple advice for every level, and a bit of perspective on where that advice comes from.

This product is formatted as a pdf and pocketmod at each booklet level. It also includes a complete pdf with all the booklets in a single file (for uploading onto a tablet device or phone), and a printer friendly version of the complete pdf without background imagery present.

 

Don’t fear the LARPers, they aren’t much different to the rest of the roleplaying community.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
