The local boffer LARP will be meeting the first Saturday of every month. Boffer LARP combines several of people’s favorite activities, including dressing up in silly outfits, beating friends with foam swords, and camping. Anyone is welcome to these events which start around 1:00 every day. If you have any questions leave a comment below and you will be taken care of.
On Saturday, March 13th we will be rolling out our characters, learning to make boffer weapons, and trying the system out a little in Bidwell Park.
Sheets will be provided, as will a copy of the pertinent rules from the PHB. Character creation is incredibly easy, so that won’t take long. If you would like to try out character creation on your own, there is a PHB on the Dying Kingdoms official site. Remember our background is a pirate crew.
During all of this, we will be creating boffer weapons. Designing boffer blades is pretty easy, and inexpensive. That said if you would like to use the available supplies, please bring a small donation (about $10) to throw at the group. If you are not a store member this will go to help pay your dues, if you are it will be used specifically for the LARP group.
Finally, if we have daylight left, once everything is said and done we will have a bit of a skirmish and try out the rules system, make any PC adjustments, and be on our way.
This will be a fun afternoon full of goofiness and the beating of many foam swords.
Amy will be hosting an informational meeting for the Dying Kingdoms LARP. This game will have a lot of activity and isn’t just sitting around playing Ro-Sham-Bo. If you have ever wanted to leap from your D&D table, and smack the rogue with a sword because you are tired of her stealing your stuff, now is the time to do it! Just make sure the sword is foam.
Live Action Role Playing in this context can be a lot of fun if not taken too seriously. Take the “Get together, roll some dice, have fun” mentality reserved for D&D and replace it with “Get together, beat each other with pieces of foam, have fun”. If you have any questions post them in the comment field, and for more information check out the Dying Kingdoms website.
