Live Action Role Playing or LARP (sometimes shortened to LRP) came about when a group of people who had been playing tabletop RPG (Role playing Game) wanted to know what it would be like to play the characters for real instead of on paper and using dice. They made costumes and weapons and wrote a set of rules (often known as a system) and LARP was born. How often do you run events Faded Glory runs about 3-4 weekend long events each year and where we can we run smaller one day or 1/2 day events throughout the year. The smaller events are run if there is enough demand from people willing to take part. The bigger ones run about every 3 months. We also run Tabletop style adventures on request. How many people come to your events? On average the weekend events run by Faded Glory have around 50 people attend them. How old do I need to be to take part? In order to take part in a Faded Glory event you need to be over 18. Is LARPing dangerous? As with any sport there is the chance of injury while at a LARP event. However, we at Faded Glory take all reasonable precautions to minimise the risk of injury while at our events. This includes checking weapons and armour for safe construction and making sure everyone knows how to use the weapons. Where are you based? We are based in the UK and we run events near Northampton and Bedford. What should I bring? This depends on whether you are playing or crewing. If you are crewing we provide all the costumes and weapons you will need so you only need to bring sleeping gear, clothes and food. We recommend dark clothing and comfortable, sturdy, waterproof footwear. If you are playing in addition to the gear you need to crew, you also need to provide your own costume, weapons and other items you feel you need to play your character the way you want to.
