Today we have a very special post from the guys over at @larpersTV who have been hard at work creating a new show about LARP. We’re very excited about their work. Like really good. On top of being visually appealing, the show takes a good look at the culture surrounding larp while not losing it’s hilarity. In other words, it’s going to be funny as hell. We’ll let them do the rest of the explaining, but they need the support of the larping community to complete the first season of their show. Larpers is a crowd-sourced production, like all larps are, and needs our help to keep the project moving. Consider donating to their cause and becoming a part of this historic larping effort.

In addition be sure to subscribe to the blog today via RSS or one of our social networks, because Larping.org will be showing an exclusive clip from Larpers tomorrow!

The gang and I over here at Three Hat Productions have been working on “LARPers” now for about two years. We thought we’d take a little time to explain what the show is about, besides larping of course.

Larpers

Each episode covers a single day within the context of an extended LARPing event in which participants from different walks of life have come together to spend a couple weeks playing as their characters. The camera crew focuses on a small group of central characters that find themselves banded together as a team. Throughout the event they must work together to accomplish their quests and advance their characters. As the event progresses this becomes increasingly difficult. Real-life relationships, grudges, and motives begin to permeate the line between reality and fantasy.

While on the surface, “LARPers” appears to just be an observation of a some-what obscure, yet quirky activity and the out of the ordinary people who participate in it, its true focus is something really much more universal. Beneath the cardboard armor and war paint lies a common want – to be something more than what they are. While these characters aren’t literally looking to be elves or witches or dwarves (well, most of them, anyway) they are looking to be courageous, powerful, loved, or feared in a way that they cannot be in their regular lives. At its core, the show is not about pretend battles between knights and wizards, but rather the struggle between who these people wish they could be and who they really are.

But this show will never happen without your help. We are currently taking donations to fund our pilot episode at www.indiegogo.com/LARPers and anything you can give would be greatly appreciated. But its not just about us getting something out of it, we offer prizes and other fun stuff for each level of donation. So visit the site and make a contribution to help make something magical.
