Live RolePlay (otherwise known as LRP or LARP) is stepping into a character's
shoes and literally living the actions and consequences that they bring upon
themselves. There's no reset button or dice to re-roll, this is as real an environment
as we can make it; you are really out there fighting monsters and saving the world.
In movies and TV shows, the heroes have to work their way though plots, dilemmas
and battles. So do we.
LRP allows us to experience that same excitement as we take responsibility for our
own decisions and try to survive dangerous and alien worlds.
Members of the UKLTA run LRP events that often (but not always) have a basis in a
well known TV Show, film or book. Games occur over most months of the year
(weather dependant). Game costs vary considerably as we are a hobby and not a
business. A one day skirmish might cost as little as £5 whereas a weekend event
might cost around £50+ (depending on site hired and facilities), there is also a
nominal cost for insurance purposed if you are not already a paidup member of the
UKLTA.
