LARPs

Really fun and funny independent web series! Even without ever LARPing or being in that scene I thoroughly enjoyed it and found it very entertaining. Definitely check out episode 0 immediately, it's only a couple minutes and you will be hooked!

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.

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 is an awesome little web series and one of the best things to come out of Geek and Sundry. It follows the adventures of a group of friends as they play in their fantasy live action role play and seeing how it affects their lives and relationships.

It is probably THE best presentation of LARP in media, actually showing it as the hobby that so many know and love rather than the butt of a joke like films like Role Models.

It's definitely worth your time and is brilliant piece of storytelling.
