	Some LARP rules simply dictate two things: How many times you can hit before you're dead and what you can or cannot do (use weapons, spells, write/read) - leaving everything else up to chance, the whims of the GMs (if there is any) and the player.

	Other go at it using more complex systems with game rules that determine how characters can affect each other and the setting. These rules may define characters' capabilities, how those capabilities can change over time, what can be done with various items in the setting, and what characters can do during the downtime between LARP events.

There is nothing worse than having leftovers from the Gothic community pretending they're fashionable and creepily sexual undead or furries.

	Some LARPers and cosplayers share a fervent hatred for each other, mainly because of the shared costuming habits combined with the differences each hobby has. Some LARPer's do not wishe to see a Naruto or Sephiroth at their event (this stems from the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' trauma's involving badly made "original characters" which ruined many a game), and cosplayers do not see the use in using all that time in energy for a costume that will be ruined. Also LARPers tend to consider some cosplay "armor" (usually made out of cardboard or just cloth) to be painfully wrong compared to their fuckton heavy chainmails and metal plate armors. There is a growing overlap in the two communities however. If you go to a larp, the people who look the best will more than likely be cosplayers while those who wear only what is necessary and look rather drab are probably only 'stick jocks' (people who go to LARP's only to hit each other with swords often to an excess and care little for stories or their characters).

	Despite the widespread popularity of such events, the [[neckbeard]] community at large typically regards LARPing as the least cool of all RPG-related pastimes, reasoning that although they might spend large amounts of their time shouting excitedly about dice rolls in a dark basement, at least they're not running around in a forest in their underpants. LARPers are frequent targets of [[fa/tg/uy]]s' scorn, despite the evident superiority brought on by wearing real chain mail and hitting people with weapons that actually do hurt.

			That said, the LARP and RPG communities aren't entirely separate. At its core, many LARPs are basically what you get when an amateur theater group decides to act out their game of [[Dungeons & Dragons]] instead of picturing it all in their head. [[White Wolf]] and its [[World of Darkness]] games are particularly strongly associated with LARPing, to the point they literally named their system "Storyteller" because they argued that the games worked best with some level of LARPing instead of relying purely on theater of the mind.
