LARP stands for Live Action Role Play, it consists of a group of faggots throwing rocks and hitting eachother with foam swords until someone gets
hurt and cries, then they all just stand around awkwardly. They'll often wear costumes and are mostly found in forest areas during the weekends, and are sometimes chased away by farmers who believe them to be some strange cult. LARPers are often considered the saddest subspecies of fa/tg/uys and neckbeards.
Good LARPs
Elusive and rare as the jackalope or chupacabra, many believe good LARPing to be a myth. There are, however some rare exceptions that walk the thin line just between complete faggotry and something you wouldn't be embarassed of doing. Usually these aren't real LARPs at all but reenactments of historical or fictional battles and events. The costumes and attires are much more professional and partecipants use tournament swords and proper armour instead of foam mock-ups for example. This type of "LARPing" is usually found in Scandinavia. That Scandinavian shit is so cash. Most places in Europe with castles also organise medieval days and tournaments where some people actually smack the shit out of each other with real weapons.
LARP rules
Although most LARPS just look like really sad games of cowboys and indians by grown-ups (except the indians are elves and the cowboys are knights in cardboard armor and pink breeches), LARPs usually have some sort of rules. An example is White Wolf's Mind Eye Theatre ruleset.
