Why Do We LARP?

"There are many a good reason for the birth and growth of of this young and fledgling theatrical tradition. The modern world has denied its youth the opportunities to practice courage, strength, valour and other manly virtues. LARPers are usually young people, imbued with the primordial spirit of their ancestors yet who suffer the greatest burden of the recession. Their part-time jobs at Wal-Mart or Chick-A-Fil and pop-culture’s slow-drip of passive entertainment fails to engage the locus of their spiritual and ancestral essence. Unable to find a vocation in a world that doesn’t care for who they truly are, they take matters into their own hands."
