It has yet again been a little while since my last update. I thought that before I showed you some of my larping charachters, I might give you a little info package of the terms I'm using.
Larp - Live action role play. Basically an improvised play without an audience. I often refer to a larp as a game. The game master invents charachters and their relationships and gives them to the larpers/players. There is no plot in a larp just the setting and the charachters are pre-determined. Larp can be a noun or a verb. If you larp, you are playing a live action role play. The players get costumes for their charachters. More information about larping.
Game master - The one organising a larp or a role play. Offten refered as the GM. More information about Game masters.
Role playing game - Often refered to as RPG. Could mean both a certain system of role playing or a game in which players invent their own charachters and throw dice every now and then. The main difference between role playing and larping is that the larpers actually dress up as their charachters and act out the things they charachters do, where as role players merely listen to the game master's story of what's happening and then tell to the GM what their charachters do next. Role players throw dice but larpers do not. Why? Because no-one would throw dice in real life to see if they get their asses kicked in a fight or not. Information about RPGs.
Props - Props are the clothes and accessories the player in a larp wears or has with him or her during the game. If one props someting, one gets the props for him or her self and wears them. One can also prop surroundings of the game: for instance, if one props a little cabbin in the woods to look like a pirate hq, one makes it look like a pirate hq by little things such as empty bottles on the table and a map on a wall.
I'll add more things to this list when I remember them.
UPDATE 1: I added the word 'props' to the list.
