The Book of LARP

A guide to live-action roleplaying that explains how LARP works and how it differs from other forms of roleplaying. Ten articles cover creating settings and characters, building atmosphere, writing scenarios, and running games effectively. The book also includes six complete two-hour demo LARPs for four to eight players. Each scenario is designed for a single evening and includes the information needed to run it using the Rules To Live By LARP system.
