A Sea Elf Stands with Her Boffers

LARP: Live Action Role Playing

As Zolkosky describes it, a LARP is:

"…a cross between a game and a form of theater. It's designing a character or persona to fit into an imaginary world. This, depending on the game, can involve something almost like a sport where you fight out the fights, or it can be just a lot of talk…but the gist of it is that someone creates this imaginary setting with its own rules and its own themes and sometimes its own ideology. [You] make a character who fits into that and play the character in that environment. It's a kind of total immersion, and it involves a whole lot of people accepting an alternate reality at once.
In other words, a LARP is an extended interaction between three things - a world, its rules and the people in it. ( SOURCE )

"I've seen it bring a lot of people out of their shell," Zolkosky says. "I've seen introverts who have lived in their heads for much of their lives, when they find…a LARP, they discover that there are other people who have been living the same stories in their head. And they begin to come out of their shell and form a social circle based on the LARP."
