Larps?

I noticed that there is very little discussion of larps and larp theory...  Is this because larps are not generally Forge domain?  If not, could somebody point me to some previous posts on the topic?  Thanks!

Just search "LARP" and you'll get a few hundred threads. I'm sure you can find something in there -- if not, start up a new thread. I'll be reading it, since I'm a big fan of LARPs. There have been a few specific LARPs discussed recently: the Kabuki LARP, Ends and Means, the Matrix LARP (not based on the Matrix movies), and my own Shadows & Light.

Most posters here are TTRPG-based, so most of the discussion is on table top RPGs, but LARPs have been discussed in general and specific many times. If you want to start a new discussion, go right ahead.

Here's a few links to get you started:

What specific topic regarding LARPs did you want to discuss? I'm interested, but there is a ton of different topics that could be focused on...
