LARP stands for Live Action Role-Playing game, i.e., real-life Dungeons and Dragons action, although you can LARP any # of scenarios with the right imagination. And costume.
Having spent a brief and dedicated amount of time recently watching LARP videos online, I’m awed by the sincerity with which these people do battle. And by the costumes. Definitely the costumes. This video in particular pierced my heart…”lightning bolt, lightning bolt”.

yes, I will run this into the ground.
