My kids have often pestered me about running a LARP for them and I’m looking at doing so as I attempt to ease myself back into running LARP.
At this point, I’m looking at maybe the last quarter of 2010.
So question is, who is keen to be involved in a LARP with younger people involved?
It would be generic fantasy, with a very simple ruleset.
Typically the kids would be the main protagonists, with adults being crew.
The age bracket I’m looking at is 10-16, although younger kids could join in providing they had close supervision. 10 seems to be the age when kids can handle abstract concepts involved with LARP, so thats the reasoning there (not saying younger kids can’t but all sorts of things are happening developmentally at 10, particularly things like judging speed of oncoming objects).
I’d be looking at running in Hamilton, either at the Lake or the Hamilton Gardens as they are great venues. If demand was sufficient (meaning low interest in Hamilton), it could be run in Orkland, possibly Totara Park or Western Springs.
Would people come down for this?
If so what time and day would best suit out of towners?
Who would bring their kids?
Do you know of kids that would be interested whose parents aren’t necessarily LARPers themselves?
