What is larp?
It's like a movie you are acting in yourself.
And you choose how it ends.
- What kind of movie? - Any kind you want.
Gangster movies, drama movies, parties, romantic comedies...
Heh, romantic comedies...
Silly!
And what kind of larp are we going to?
A historical larp. About the French Revolution.
Larps are played at places matching their themes.
Like cafés or clubs.
- Hi. - Hello there! - Hey.
These are the other players.
Every one of us picks a role for tonight's larp.
- Here we have a young revolutionary. - What's up?
A soldier.
A nobleman.
A prisoner.
Thanks.
So. I'm nobleman Saint Clair.
Who is searching for his lost wife.
Yes. Read that. You will find out who your character is.
What he wants in life and so.
What his goals are, what his personality is and all.
Just like if you were an actor and got your big part.
But I'm not going to learn any script.
I couldn't even remember a limerick at the elementary school.
You won't have to.
Larp has no script. Just do what you think your character would do.
Nobleman Saint Clair.
What's going on?
Hand over the revolutionaries! We know they are there!
It's beginning.
Monsieur Saint Clair, we have to hand him over to the guards.
Please, sir, don't do it, sir.
- What should I do? - You decide.
Me? What if I mess something up?
You can't mess up a larp. Just imagine you're the nobleman and say something.
- I'm not an actor! - Neither are they.
What's going on in there?!
Throw him out.
Sir Saint Clair, if you spare me, I will tell you where your wife is.
Hey, hey, I want that.
We are keeping the man inside, rabble.
We will burn down the tavern!
To hell with that! The revolutionaries fight for the right thing!
Thank you, sir.
That was awesome. What will happen next?
I don't know. You will find out if you play along.
In larp you have the possibility to end the story in many ways.
And after two or three hours, everything is over.
Come on, get up.
Hey, nobleman, wanna grab a beer with us?
- You going? - I...
Go, then.
Larp is something new. Unusual.
You can experience anything you only watched in the movies until now.
And it is also a great way to meet new and interesting people.
Among larpers you can find doctors, engineers, lawyers, artists...
And with all of them you become connected.
Because you experience something unique together.
And it's also a perfect place to invite someone for...
...a first date.
