I was talking to one of the guys who recently came on holiday with us to Amsterdam. It turns out he’s got a few hidden secrets up his sleeve.  Throughout the week he’s known as Jim. But on the weekend he’s known as Elf the Slayer.  Odd for some i know, but for him and his friends it’s quite an ordinary turn of events.

It turns out that my friend Jim has an alter ego, where by on the weekends and on certain weeks of the year he is Elf the Slayer and dresses up in all manner of LARP outfits and Larp costume armor.  If your into Live action role playing and all it offers, you’ll probably find all this just a bit odd.

It turns out that sometime in the new ear, my friend Elf the Slayer will be taking part in some other kind of holiday which is no where near the kind we went on recently. He’ll be settling down with other Elves and enjoying slaying Orc’s and whatever else comes his way.  Yes his plans are to stay at a LARP campsite. Somewhere that he’ll feel right at home in.

Live action roleplaying happens across the country, whether it be my country or your country. It’s everywhere!  You’ll find people close to you enjoy swinging a good rubber axe around, or taking part in something that most poeple would call wacky,odd,disturbing or just plain outrageous.

Live action roleplaying (Or LARP) is a great way to enjoy something similar to WoW and other online games. Only you get to do it for real. No need to wonder if the guy you just went up against is cheating, there’s a good chance he isn’t as there’s no computers involved.  It’s just a you versus him scenario.
