I’ve always heard of the stuff with the weapons as “boffering”. The groups I tried were very little role-play and lots of fun fake-combat. Kind of a medieval paintball if you will. I usually think of the Vamp. groups with their rock-paper-scissors skill checks as the larpers.

I kinda think some bedroom games might be the original LARP.

But if you’re just pretending, isn’t that more cosplaying than LARPing? I apologise beforehand if this is being too nitpicky.

that’s sort of an extreme though … LARPing doesn’t necessarily mean you have to run around with swords, just that you pretend to be someone else – so an intense mafia game could be considered LARPing
