I enjoy Live Action Role Playing. Have you ever participated?
I have, like that the outcome of player actions are mediated by game rules.
Yes, players have goals they need to meet while they interact with each other in a fiction based setting. It's so much fun!
I like that its live action where people portray real characters.
LARP first started in the 70's and was inspired by tabletop role-playing games. The rules determine how characters can affect one another. A lot to learn though
Its interesting to hear about the gamemasters
Yes, they run the games. There are diegeting game mastering and non-diegetic game mastering
Larp has also been called free form role playing
My favorite is Vampire-based LARP
That sounds scart
