What are Larps?
LARPS include everything from combat-intensive games like Amtgard to rock-paper-scissors live action games like White Wolf's live action vampire.
Some say that Amtgard (and other similar games) is more of a "Live Action Combat System" instead, but the arguments usually used don't describe all parks or events.
There are many LARP organizations in the world, we believe that Amtgard is one of the largest and most widespread in the United States. Some are run as for-profit corporations, others like Amtgard are basically free.
