Tigger and I have been knocking around the idea of writing a new dark fantasy LARP and I’m just using this forum as a scribbling pad for a few random ideas so far.
Not really trying to be terribly innovative and a fair bit may start out quite derivative.
Setting:
Conquered and occupied land. Formally the country had a long history of aggression and conducted a war of conquest. Neighbouring countries eventually beat back the armies and now garrison troops as forces of occupation.
Some colonisation has been attempted
Each of the neighbouring countries have there own objectives with regard to the conquered land. As do the subjegatd citizens.
Races:
Mostly human at this stage. Want to get away from the generic elf/dwarf/vampire thing.
Each of the countries has its own flavour of culture.
With regard to cost of equipment for starting characters items will be more or less expensive depending on the country.
For example one country has a severe shortage or workable iron so steel weapons and armour will cost more. Another country has an abundance of cattle so leather items cost less.
I’m thinking that this will help promote/keep a certain flavour of style between countries
Magic
still tinkering with this one. Have a range of basic spells. The mage must learn at least 5 apprentice spells before learning a journeyman spell. From then on for every 3 apprentice spells mage have up to 2 journeyman spells.(including the original 5 spells) Same progression for master.
Mages cannot wear iron, interferes with the conduit of magic.
