Live Action Survival Roleplaying Game

Thats funny Elkobold of the link. But we know what LARPING is. Not trying to be sarcastic. But in his game , he will be using dice. I am pretty sure in some LARPING storylines, not like the links you have provided but dice can help settle arguments or rules or whatever. Its whatever the DM, GM or storyteller wants to add in his game.

This game of his sounds like fun to play through. I like outside the box designing thinking games. The way SuperTooned explained to me and we talked about the gameplay, yes, dice will be needed.

A game or storyline can be whatever you want it to be. A mixture of tons or billions of different mechanices thrown in and you can only choose three mechanics with the theme and genre. Rules are just guidelines. There made to be broken for house rules.

But I chuckled at what you had in mind as you put up the LARPING link. Just (shaking my head) chuckling. Your funny.

P.S. Um, we know what LARPING is! Silly Elkobold

That video looks like a bunch of "idio... people" wanting to just bash on each other. I've seem similar videos from around my own area - which also look something similar. That's NOT LARP-ing. That's people unleashing their aggression on other "idio... people".

Real LARP-ing is about LIVE "Adventure". There is no "adventure" in a simulating battles between two sides... That's just a Bash-Fest. Sometimes LARP-ing uses RPS as a way to resolve combat, and there are character classes similar to D&D where a Sorceress can throw out a Pouch of sand which signifies that a spell has been casted... And then the DM needs to resolve this by using either RPS or some other method such as flipping a coin, etc.

That's way too violent behavior to be LARP-ing. Like I said earlier - it's a Bash-Fest.

Real LARP-ing is less physical and more mental. With players performing actions that interrupt a physical encounter between two opposing parties or perhaps just a DM Monster creature, etc.

It's also a day long journey ... which usually ends up at the tavern where people can talk about their "adventures" of the day - the ups and downs. Sometimes it blends camping too... which means that it could be a weekend outing too!

That video != LARP-ing. Bash-Fest.

What sort of venue and headcount are you picturing? What sort of GM load do you see?

When I was giving serious thought to opening an escape room, I explored a lot of live action elements. One thing as a gamer, I had in an "escape the evil genius's lair" scenario was roles for characters and powers such as "super strength" where the player had a special glove with an rfid and would have to wear it to lift a "super heavy" box.

A survival sceario would be pretty cool if it was a game kit that like a corporation could buy to run team-building exercises in house.
