| | Live action role-playing game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A live action role-playing game (or LARP as it is often known) is a form of role-playing game where the participants perform some or all of the physical actions of the characters they are playing. | | | Curious Pastimes is a game that originated with a large number of players who aimed to create a similar fest-style system to the Lorien Trust with the aim of improving on the basic design to make a more enjoyable game. | | | Most UK freefom characters are written specifically for that game, and tend to run to half a page for a short game, to ten or twelve pages for a weekend game. |

| | Live Roleplaying |
| | 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. | | | Most games are set up so that it isn't possible for everyone to "win" all the time. |

| | An Introduction to Live-Action Roleplaying Games |
| | The goal of a cathartic game is for the players to be affected by the experience (and sometimes disturbed). | | | A cathartic game or module is one that was designed to produce a strong emotional reaction in the players. | | | I would add in a special note on live-action play known as "freeform" and "cathartic" games in Australian gaming conventions, such as Necronomicon. |

| | Freeform roleplaying games |
| | Freeforms are also known as "theatre-style live-action roleplaying games," but whatever you call them they are pretty much the most fun a group of people can have with their clothes on. | | | Freeforms are rather like roleplaying games - but lack the tables, dice and have many, many more players. | | | On the other hand, SFC Press describe freeforms as "an interactive social game in which you assume the identity of a character and try to accomplish goals by talking with other players and using simple game systems to handle such things as combat, romance, etc." |

| | Live Action Roleplaying Games |
| | Live action games can be compared to improvisational theatre, where each of the participants is free to act on themselves, guided by their interpretation of the character they are playing. | | | Several different forms of live gaming have developed independently of each other, and the games can range from quite physical 'live combat' experiences to elaborate 'free form' plots, where the games consist of discussions, plotting and emotional immersion. | | | Larp.com - A collection of links to established Live Action Roleplaying games around the world. |
