I learned campsite cookery - or at least put into practice the theory I already knew.
I learned how to make my husband look like stone (once, I did it really well - other times, he just gets flat grey. It takes ages to do fully...)
I learned how to fight for LRP. I already knew self defence really well - I unlearned a lot of that for safety reasons.
I learned just how bad my night vision is...

I started to learn Romanian for a Vampire LRP, and then found out they speak Hungarian in Transsylvania (Western Romania), so I couldn`t be bothered to continue. I did learn how to make 'latex' weaponry. Apart from that I picked up a thing or two about sizing people up and bluffing my way out of a scheduled quest, and my farthest advancements are on moving about in the dark. The majority of hard skills I use in LRP I already possessed, or were developed seperately, like the camping, the sewing, and the fighting.

Sewing, embroidery, making chainmail, all that sort of stuff. Plus the basics of swordfighting, fencing, stealth and not being seen. I also probably wouldn't have taken up archery if I wasnt' a larper.

basic leatherworking, making latex weapons, combat awareness and generally which end of the sword to hold, that wearing metal armour in the hot sun is a nightmare, a bit of juggling, improved fire-starting, rules-rewriting and game balancing, falling over in a dramatic fashion without hurting myself and not landing in a nettle patch (most of the time), grappling, that grappling in a nettle patch is a really bad idea, basic wemic-herding, not accepting things at face value and questioning...

As a player I have learned how to be over-estimated, how to be under-estimated and advanced alcohol-management.
As a ref . . . going to learn advanced anger-management any day, honest . . . Also, more about team-work than I ever expected.

| First-aid, how to mostly deal with sleep deprivation, make-up, body language, improving on tact and diplomacy and presentation (making a speech at work may be scary, but at least my co-workers ain't armed), inebriated night-time tent erection, spotting when people are about to make mistakes I've made/seen other make in the past and talking them out of it (at least OOC mistakes that might e.g. lead to hypothermia, IC mistakes are there to profit from.), a use for agricultural facts (all those summer holidays on farms and in museums had a point after all), firestarting, understanding why historical fashions existed (sleeping in shifts is practical/make-up = sunscreen), increasing knowledge of UK geography/train routes/how to deal with taxi drivers who don't know how to read a map/how to deal with train staff at the 'information' desk who laugh in your face when asked how to get back to mainline station X, basic sewing, how weird and wonderful are the props you can pick up from charity shops. And spotting the usual personalities, so not getting a shock when GM/Ref X falls out with GM/Ref Z.

To be tolerant of other people's weird hobbies... 
PD Head Ref- but as all posts here count as being unofficial, you'll need to email rules@PD for the real deal.
The PD Odyssey Campaign - the longest development period of any fest LRP system known - coming to you sometime in the next five years...
