| | Dragon Crest - A live action role playing game. |
| | Role playing games are games in which the players basically develop a character persona (much as an author develops characters for a book or story) and act it out. | | | By playing this game, or by consenting for your child to play it, you risk these kinds of injuries, just as you would in any other sporting or camping activity. | | | This is facilitated by someone who is in charge (often referred to as the game master or the storyteller) developing the plot line and presenting the players with situations where they can act out their roles. |

| | Unlike tabletop role-playing games that are organized by one storyteller, live action role-playing games involve a cast of many players who help to bring the story to life. | | | Your job in a live action role-playing game is to react to their story in a way that is appropriate to the character that you have created. | | | Live Action Role-Playing (LARP) is improvisational acting in which you assume the role of an imaginary character. |

| | Live Role-Playing Game FAQ |
| | Most live games involve a large number of players (from thirty to several hundred at a time) who walk around and talk with each other, acting out as much of their characters' actions as are allowed within the rules. | | | Many people who play these games have played tabletop roleplaying games, but many others have not. | | | Games are almost always single self-contained events, usually a weekend long, with the action building to a climax and resolving by the end of the game. |

| | A year after Gwyn's death, her five closest friends re-unite to play one final game of Shadow Court, a live-action role-playing game of intrigue and imagination. | | | Even if the concept of role playing seems foreign to you, this play creates enough connection between our world and the world the characters create to really involve the audience. | | | The rituals of the game and the characters' inability to get on with their real lives with things still unresolved in "the court" are crafty plot points. |

| | Role-playing game - Free Encyclopedia |
| | A role-playing game (RPG) is a type of game where players assume the role of a fictional character, via role-playing. | | | The term is also used as a name for a genre of video games that for obvious reasons lack the "role-playing" element of pen-and-paper games but borrow many gameplay elements from said games. | | | Of course, interactive and impromptu dramas have included elements of play long before the advent of modern wargames -- the children's games of "Playing House" or "Cowboys and Indians" are in essence very simple role-playing games. |

| | BBC - h2g2 - How to Run a Live Action Role Playing Game |
| | A Live Action Role Playing Game, or LARP, is quite simply a role playing game where instead of sitting around a table playing on a board, you dress up and move around and really get into character. | | | As your game progresses, encourage your players to develop their characters and then reward them for doing so, and try your best to integrate that into your chronicle. | | | Decide upon your game mechanic and establish how you wish to keep track of the players' characters and assemble it before you accept any concepts from your players. |
