Download a copy of the rulebook and read it - http://alliancelarp.com/rule-book/ Watch this video (and perhaps all in the series) Put together a costume and build yourself/buy yourself a weapon. Go to the game and have fun. Many people there will help you out if you have questions.

As always, I stipulate that what I have to say will vary from chapter to chapter. I have just come back from the National event and being one who tends to be hyper-critical about immersion, I was pleasantly impressed with what happened there. I'd say I felt pretty well immersed in the game...

Getting the dragon to lick my baton into having an Earth carrier. Landing a valid, but altered, Terminate on Death. I mean - come on. Terminating Death! Drinking a toast with all those whom had hailed from Twilight Vale of the Dragon Lands - over 20 years ago - with bottles from said vale...

What type of traps are you looking for? Feel free to PM me if you don't want the general populace to know what type of traps. I might be able to make a few...

I was looking for the cheapest possible potion vials available. If plot doesn't mind the look and someone has the $150, here's a link to 1200 plastic containers that would fit the requirements (also available in lots of 315 for just $40). Colors can also be chosen so might want to ask plot...

Dang, was busy on another order. ;)

I sent an email earlier but include me in this offer. My specialties are making latex masks/prosthetics(supplied many a kobold and goblin mask to multiple chapters) resin casting (as in gemstones and other translucent items) and pewter casting. Can also do weapons, costumes, stone casting, etc.

Even though my main character is a Gypsy, I personally don't like the Gypsy Curse situation as it is. Although it is for "RP purposes only" it forces an RP upon people - even with the caveat that you can work with people to get a curse the subject would be OK with. That, in itself, can be an...

I have been reading a lot of discussions with people trying to find ways to do various things via game mechanics. If you want X, spend Y amounts of gold/build/gobbies/etc. Instead of going that route, why not go the route of roleplay instead of ruleplay? For example, there's a discussion on...

The fact that you have to break the system and steam roll them to make a death stick IMO means that the system is broken - unless the system had the design idea behind it to make PC's immortal I also agree that to want more PC deaths in a game is counter productive to running a game. Wanting...

I have found that the moment you make something illegal or otherwise tell the general populace you cannot do this, a rather sizable amount of the player community just want to do that themselves. I have witnessed many times I call "the PC exemption" in games. All undead must be destroyed on...

As for anyone thinking that the 'higher ups' only choose moderators who are basically their lickspittles, allow me to make a note about something. I was once a moderator. My dissenting voice about a few aspects of the Alliance game as a whole are well known. I was once told that when my...

A viewing of Treasure Trapped - a different type of documentary about LARPing in Europe. Unlike other larp documentaries, this will show multiple different styles and genres as well as show you what 'the big deal' is about European larps without having to only see the edited videos or best...

I volunteer. . . Sorry, it's late and I thought it would be funny to say that and have a few people shiver. :D

The secret to making a trident is not to focus on making all the prongs stabbable - i.e. reaching your opponent to stab them. Just do the center like a very minimal spear. have the 2.5" depth of foam on the end of the core/shaft of the weapon. Then out of open cell foam, carve the outer...

True, but in my game there were no makeup races. Went for WYSIWYG and makeup wasn't part of that.

Yup, that's why I used it. Perfect for spreading a contagion. Sent in a few zombies with the infection in the late afternoon. Then the next morning, staff checked the hands and face of the PC's. If they didn't have the glitter there, they were considered safe from the disease. So if people...

In another LARP that I ran, a nice way to physically spread disease is the use of a specific color of glitter. Have it on the infected NPC's and then check the PC's 24 hours later. Anyone with the glitter on them is considered infected.

My very first game a monster broke into the common sleeping area every hour and I spent most of the next day trying to find a quiet place to get some sleep as I didn't feel like adventuring at all. After that, and for years to come, I slept in my car at events and told plot that I was in the...

I know, right? The hand written numbers on the right side of the chart was me trying to figure out how many XP it would take to get there. And after thinking about what I'd have to do to get all of that XP, I would constantly say, "Who'd ever play a game that long?" :) This is always one of...
