LAIRE!
Post By NZFlyingRock. 31/01/09, 11:33 am

Hey, me and my friends just went and saw the new movie 'Role Models' and have decided to try and start up a LAIRE (or equivalent there-of) in Auckland. Those who have seen it will already know what i am talking about, but for those who don't LAIRE, or Live Action Interactive Roleplaying Explorers, is a live action role-playing game. Cuz i'm lazy you get the simple version. Basically, you dress up in midieval costumes and fight each other with soft(ish) weapons.

HOWEVER, in order to do this i wanted to make sure that we could get enough people interested to make it worthwhile as a group of 10, although fun, would not be quite as epic.

So yeah, if you would be interested please post (also post for ppl not on the forums who would be interested i.e.

Meh, I've considered LARPing (to use a more traditional acronym) in the past, and its always struck me as too much effort. I'd rather just play D&D XD

I suspect the movie used a different acronym so they wouldn't be sued by anyone ;)

Now that it's put that way...

I've looked at NZ LARPing before, but the New Zealand sites never really got me interested, however, a CNZ group may be more interesting...

@4Eyed King, Dibs on warm up fight against you!

Where it is will probably depend on who is interested. like atm only a few ppl r interested, and most of them are North Shorians(see what i did there...), so it would probably be on the shore, but the most logical place if we expect a bigger group would be at a park with trees somewhere near central auckland (though of all the places i can think of, i think long bay beach has the best park for such an event, but that is mainly because it is the only park i know that has lots of trees...).

Yes there was some room but with more people it would be too cramped and no where to run so kind of boring

Oooo, check this out. It is a upcoming ... thing for the NZLarping website..... thing

Quote :
Grand Battle Project Definition wrote:
A series of costumed medieval battle days aimed at the general public,
using larp weapons. The main battle events are intended to include
500-2000 participants and require some 100 or more volunteers to run
them.

The events are intended to be played in accessible
public venues with plenty of space for a battle. The events will be
high on spectacle, and an interactive storyline played out by
volunteers will tie the battles of the day together and create a sense
of immersive fiction to further relate the events to larp.

Reckon we should aim to join this for a start? I cant find any times/dates but when i can finally get my friggen computer to click the buttons then i will watch for updates depending if anyone wants to actually join.
