| '''Live-Action Roleplaying''' is a particular style of enjoying [[roleplaying]] games that can be basically summed up as "when an amateur theater group decides to hold a [[Dungeons & Dragons]] night". Instead of just sitting around a table and talking about what your character does, a LARPer attempts to physically act out what their character is doing and saying. The most hardcore LARPers will even attempt to dress up like their character and use props to better present the mood.

| LARPing is pretty old, and has been around more or less as long as roleplaying games themselves. There is something of a rivalry between non-LARPers and LARPers, as the more visually recognizable and flamboyant LARPer community has been accused of giving the roleplaying community a bad name. Plus, they have an eerie similarity to the [[furry]] fandom in the eyes of many.

| [[White Wolf]] and its "Storyteller" systems have long been particularly popular with the LARPer crowd, and even named its particular rules system as a direct attempt to sell itself to LARPers overall.
