LARPs

Great series. If you 'The Guild,' fantasy, RPGs, DnD, or nerd culture in general. This series will be right up your alley. If none of those things, sound great... well, this probably isn't your cup of tea.

The basic premise is a group of friends who fantasy live action role play. The acting is pretty good. Every actor really gets into their role. I really like how the GM plays convincing NPCs. He's really good at changing his voice to fit the character, he plays. The other characters are also interesting as well. The series gets better with each episode. Season two definitely raises the bar compared to season one on every level (plot, effects, budget, and bigger cast). If you like fantasy stuff, give it a shot.

You might ask your self. An 8 for a life changing show? The answer is yes. This show got me into larping and introduced me to an amazing community. The show it self is thrilling, breathtaking and full of heart. The producers and actors put their heart and soul into the show and it shows. A must watch web show

The episodes are short, the budget is low and the acting is novice. Despite the limitations of an indie endeavor into film, this is the only representation I have seen of role-playing that doesn't focus upon outsider geek domain or attempt a version of immersive comedy. Instead you are presented with ordinary people enjoying a hobby that tests their commitment to each other and their workplace.

Although set against the background of an ongoing LARP, this is all about the interpersonal relationships, with a character driven plot that engages you and makes you care what happens as the story unfolds. A fantastic series that is easy to watch. If you are not LARPing this might make you want to give it a go, if you are LARPing, you might have a few moments of Deja-vu.

This show is not for everyone. But it does have good writing which makes you really enjoy the characters. The amount of character development is amazing.

With that said people who do not play D&D or LARP probably will not get the jokes. Good thing there is a huge insurgence of D&D lately.

This show was just a bit too ahead for its time.
