| have you ever met someone at a LRP event? would you even bother looking? how do you make certain their interest is IC or OOC How the hell can you tell if they're cute under all that makeup? and how the hell do you start chatting them up? " my *other* weapons 42" too" silly stories etc for our amusement please

My better half is a LRPer. Although we didn’t meet at LRP. She does LT – I do Maelstrom. (Two LRP systems – both alike in dignity – where we set our scene). We’ve LRP’d together briefly this year but not really interacted (we're busy/noisy/important people in our own luttle worlds).
Really we’re two people – separated by a common hobby – but there’s no denying that the fact that we had a common hobby when we first met was instrumental in our getting together.
My advice to you is this.
When you’re IC – keep it IC
When you’re OOC – keep it OOC
Anything else is just too damn creepy.

Just talk to people after time-out when the party starts. You'll be amazed by what might happen... just make sure you bring a tent that fits more than one person, is the advice I'll give...

I'm with Mikey on this one. I am a LRPer, Sarah is a LRPer but we didn't meet at a LRP event (well, we did, twice, but not in that way... long story...). Keep it all seperate and things work out fine. We have both had IC relationships with different people and there have been no problems.

One of the great things about lrp is that almost inevitably there will be lots of OOC get-togethers outside of the events themselves. Whether or not you find love, you're likely to find friends.

| I hate IC relationships and will generally not partake in them. I either play gruff married to their career types, maudlin widowers (My LT character) orhave characters with unreal love expectations (My maelstrom character). This way I never find myself in a position to have an IC relationship with another person. That said, I met my wife at the first maelstrom event. I chatted her up in that in between where we were talking IC but blatantly flirting OOC. I know she will never want to get involved with any of my characters as she does seem to hate them all. don;t know what that tells me! So to sum up, meeting people at events for OOC relationships good. having IC relationships at events.. bad Stu

I was having an ooc chat with a couple of guys and a cute girl. We were complaining that most women are taken etc etc. When she said contrary to popular belief she brought her boyfriend to a larp and now she is single. Opps. We three guys just sat in stunned silence and eventually the subject was changed.
Did I mention she was really cute.

| I'll disagree with stu here. I've happily played IC romances with a lot of fun roleplay all around, in fact the continuation of one and the upcoming wedding is one of the only reasons I still go to LT events.
However
I only get involved in such ways when I know that both sides are aware there is nothing OOC going on. I've always talked to the person first and checked they are ok with it, and we've discussed boundaries regularly to make sure we're both happy.
These have been in front of our respective partners many of the times who also attend the events and equally we've taken great lengths to make sure they are happy and comfortable with it all. But I repeat, lots of fun roleplay. As far as OC relationships at Larp go, yes the happen, the trick is as people have said the OOC opportunities, but hey, you already know you share a hobby!
