The LARP Realm

Event finding, outdoor spaces, factions, a character and kit planner, crafting notes and a safety reference.

EveryoneUpdated August 18, 2026

The LARP Realm is built around the parts of live-action play that happen away from the field: finding an event that is actually running, knowing where you are allowed to run it, and turning up with the right kit.

The LARP Realm page with its tools: event finder, spaces, factions, character and kit planners.
Everything in the Realm, with your recent tools first.

Finding events

The event finder filters sessions down to live-action games. LARP runs less often than a board game night, so it rewards an alert more than a browse β€” turn on area alerts for your region and let it come to you.

Outdoor and public spaces

A directory of parks, woods, halls and other spaces people actually use, with what each one allows. Entries carry the practical things β€” parking, whether you need permission, whether combat with foam weapons is tolerated. You can add a space you know, and a space can be attached to a session so players know exactly where to meet.

Check permissions yourself

A space listed here is somewhere a member has played, not somewhere we have licensed. Public land usually needs the landowner's or council's permission for a large group with props. The listing tells you what someone found; it does not grant you anything.

Factions

A faction is your in-character group β€” a house, a clan, a mercenary company. Rosters exist independently of any one event, so a faction that plays across three different systems stays one group. Leaders can invite members, and can send a message to the whole roster when a game is announced.

Character and kit

  • Character & costume planner β€” the concept, the look, and what still needs making.
  • Kit & gear checklist β€” what to pack. The thing you forget is the thing you needed.
  • Prop & weapon crafting β€” build notes, materials and methods for making the kit rather than buying it.

Safety and rules

A reference for the conventions most systems share β€” calls, safe contact, weapon checks, what to do when someone is hurt. It is a starting point, not a rulebook: your event's own rules always win, and you should read them before you play.

Minors at LARP

Events marked for adults are hidden from under-18 members, and organiser broadcasts to a faction are held to the same standard as any other message to a minor. If you run games for mixed ages, mark the rating honestly β€” it is what the filtering runs on.
