List of live action role-playing groups

none

none

This is a list of live action role-playing game groups. This is for active or once active groups that run or organize games. It is not a list of game systems.

NOTOC

STOP - ASK YOURSELF THE FOLLOWING QUESTION - IS MY LARP THE SUBJECT OF MULTIPLE INDEPENDENT SOURCES ? IF IT IS NOT - IT DOES NOT BELONG HERE AND WILL BE REMOVED.

When adding groups:

  1. Link to internal Wikipedia pages, not home pages for the groups themselves. A link to the group's home page is appropriate on the group's Wikipedia article.

  2. Include a brief description. Keep it brief; visitors can see the full article through the link if they want more information. Try to include useful information to help a visitor select useful resources. Useful things might include genre (fantasy, modern, sci-fi, horror, etc), style (boffer combat, theatrical), and location (eastern US, a specific city). Try to stick to words and descriptions in the live action role-playing game article; "boffer combat" or "physical combat" is well known and more likely to be useful than "Enhanced realism combat". Don't mention that it's a "LARP," it's obvious from context, otherwise it doesn't belong on this page.

  3. This is a list of groups, not game systems. So the "Camarilla" might be appropriate, but "Minds Eye Theatre" is not. A separate List of live action role-playing games might be appropriate, but this is not it.
