LARPs

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.

Every time I watch LARPs I am impressed anew by the writing, acting, and production values, made even more impressive given that it was produced as a 2014 web series.

The entire creative team should be commended (and were with quite a few awards) for their product and I hope that some day they can bring a third season to light.

Do yourself a favor and watch this through whatever streaming platform you can find.

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!

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.
