Hello everyone. I'm brand new to LARP and looking to ask some questions and connect with others. I've never done this before, so bare with me.
I've been role playing online for over 15 years, and have just recently (since May 2018) start playing tabletop RPGS online. I've always been interested in role playing and fantasy. I write fantasy novels and love character creation. I think this would be something I'd really enjoy.
However, because I've never done this before, I don't even know where to start! I've found the rule book and the help forum and have given them a glance over, but I guess my questions are this:
- When/where are the events?
- How often are they held?
- How long are events?
- Is there a way to 'observe' an event without taking an active role? (NPCing, perhaps?)
- What age group are those that attend? (I'm 30!)
- Is there a membership fee/what are the costs to attend an event? (I saw something mentioning fees)
- Are any of you in the Lisle/Naperville/Downers area?
- Are you LGBT friendly/are there other LGBT members?
- What kind of tabletops are you interested in?
- Does anyone read? Lets talk about books.
- Are there only high fantasy events, or has anyone considered alternate genres?
Thank you so much for reading, I look forward to getting in contact with you!
