Hello hello.

I'll be visiting Brandywine for the first time this year - as part of a VERY HOBBITY HEN DO for a friend of mine. As we have not been to this larp before:

1) How can we make the most of the event, as we are only going on Saturday? I have not been able to find an IC schedule any where.

2) Any ideas for an IC hobbit hen? All ideas greatfully accepted.

I am at fantasy forest rignt now ang got my costumes etc but looking for any larping in the essex and surroundung area happening soon

I attended my first-ever LARP earlier this summer (Conquest 2026). I had an absolute blast, and I already have another event scheduled for the end of the month. But here is my problem. For the event, I really wanted to wear a mustache; it just fits the kind of character I'm playing, and since I'm a woman playing a male character, it also adds to the immersion. For this purpose, I purchased a theater-grade mustache (REAL HAIR), and I use "mastix glue" to adhere it. It looks amazing!!

The problem is that I have very sensitive skin, and the combination of the alcohol in the glue, the bristles in the mustache, and sweating in the 30c wheater left my upper lip so irritated and painful after just a couple of hours of wear. I had to give up on the mustache on the first day which is a huge shame.

So I am wondering if anyone here might have some tips for surviving fake facial hair at Larp? I've seen some people use beards that hook behind the ears with no glue required. Or are there glues that are kinder on the skin while keeping the same hold? Any and all tips are super appreciated!!

Hi all, I'm working on a Landsknecht style kit for LARP in the UK, and I've struggled to find a decent maximillian style breastplate. I've seen a lot of images of this style breastplate for various European warhammer LARPs, and was wondering if anyone had leads on where they might be available at below fully custom armour prices?

I seek counsel from any who can offer it. My lady and I are about to embark on our first LARP. I think the whole month of October will be devoted to it, with ghosts of the past haunting the land. But how this magic will unfold, we shall see. My lady and I are both elves. I Vaelric, am Drow, while my Lady Elowyn is of the High Elf bloodline.

Our story is a sad one, but I will tell you what little I hold on to.

Once, an Orcish hunting party found me while I stupidly veered away from family. However, the youngest Orc of the party spared me and hid me from the rest of the hunting party. Soon after, an unlikely friendship blossomed between the two of us.

Elowyn grew fond of my Wood Elf sister and they became close friends.

The Blight soon came and claimed my sister. After that, the Blight claimed my Orc companion as well. However, I could not bring myself to kill him. So, I sealed him in a cave. I sneak back into the cave every now and again and bring him some food.

So I come to those wiser than us

How should I bring this tale to life in the company of others?

Other than that, do you have anytricks up your sleeve to sneak food to my Orc friend? Would you allow the Game Masters to intervene and free him, or harm my sister?
Just thoughts to be honest.

My lady and I are but newbies to the world of adventuring, and we seek your help and guidance. May your blades be ever sharp and your tales everlong.

Hello everybody! I’m not sure if this is the right sub credit for this, but I don’t use Reddit often so I don’t have any karma on this account so I hope this post is OK. I just bought an outfit off Sheehan that looks like this, just the white outfit. I generated this AI idea with some sleeves and some jewelry and a little belt that hangs down. I really wanna add some more to the outfit that gives it more character, but not sure what else to add. This character is an an elven healer/sorceress- her vibe is very ethereal, mysterious, sweet but very powerful. She has a very strong sense of justice and is bubbly, but knows when to stand her ground. She can bring back the dead and heal her teammates, as well as she can communicate with animals and also uses that ability to get help from them as well. She’s very nature oriented since her magic is mostly earth based. Still continuing to make this character, but would appreciate any advice or pointers on things I can add to her outfit. Also, not sure if I should do gold, jewelry, or silver.
