'''Lost Colonies''' is a fantasy [[live-combat]] campaign in Maryland. It uses an original live combat system, but also includes safety techniques typically associated with [[consent-based play]] like [[lookdown]], and typically runs events at the YMCA campground at Sabillasville, MD, but events have happened in both Virginia and Maryland.<br />
<br />
The game's story takes place in the original to the game fictional land of Torakand, which is set in an original subcreated world. While the game focuses on fantasy colonialism and exploration, game rules prohibit duplicating the crimes of real-world colonialism within the game, and the land the game is set in is specified to have been uninhabited at the time of the colony's founding. Play is largely focused on player vs environment exploration and adventure.<br />

<hr />
<div>An '''Amnesia game''' is a larp where the character starts out missing memories. This may be a true tabula rasa, where the players start out with, at most, a short description of their character's general affect -- or the characters may be incomplete (possibly even seeming complete, at first), with holes or false memories replacing the missing memories at first.<br />
<br />
Some (including the first, [[Tabula Rasa]]) amnesia games feature fully-written character sheets that are re-accquired over the course of the game<br />
<br />
However, this is not the only possible mechanism. A game where [[workshop]] techniques are used to fill in missing memories over the course of the game, allowing the players to build on the starting emptiness rather than discover it would still be considered an amnesia game.<br />
<br />
Any game where characters acquire new memories via a diegetic technique might be considered loosely an amnesia game as well -- for instance, a game where the characters acquire past life memories over the course of the game, or even memories of future or parallel lives can be considered an amnesia game even though the characters' memories are technically complete at the game's start.</div>Mnemehttp://larpwiki.labcats.org/index.php?title=Costuming_hint&diff=3098Costuming hint2017-12-28T04:09:25Z<p>Mneme: Created page with "'''Costuming Hints''' are short descriptions of characters send out to players in advance of (or instead of) sending character sheets, for the purpose of allowing players..."</p>
<hr />
<div>'''Costuming Hints''' are short descriptions of characters send out to players in advance of (or instead of) sending [[character sheet]]s, for the purpose of allowing players to work on [[Costuming]] in advance of seeing the full character.<br />
<br />
This practice was far more common in the [[Theater-style]] community prior to the near-universal adoption of the Internet -- however, it is still used in cases where the character sheets are in progress when the players are notified of who they are playing, when only general aspects of characters are determined pre-game, rather than character details, or, as in many [[Amnesia games]], when casting is pre-determined, but there is a game-related reason players are not given their sheets before the game starts.</div>Mnemehttp://larpwiki.labcats.org/index.php?title=Costuming&diff=3097Costuming2017-12-28T04:04:04Z<p>Mneme: </p>
<hr />
<div>'''Costustuming''' is, for [[larp]] purposes, any kind of alteration participants make to their appearance in order to match the theme, situation, or specific characters they are playing -- most often, the latter. Costuming may consist of clothing (of any material), masks, makeup, armor, movement aids like stilts, wigs, and occasionally even modification to the participant's appearance like growing or shaving off a beard.<br />
<br />
Costuming for larps ranges from no costuming, to minimal costuming (a hat, mask, wig, or vest that suggests the character rather than an attempt at a full outfit), full costuming, or even very involved costuming involving historical costume research, multiple changes in outfits and complex, multi-person outfits.<br />
<br />
Different larps, and different larp communities vary significantly in how much costuming is expected of participants. In general:<br />
<br />
* Larps that value a high degree of physical [[immersion]] will demand more (often full) costuming.<br />
* Larps where characters are created as part of play (using [[workshop]]s, and/or [[collaborative design]]) will tend to expect few to no costuming.<br />
* Contra-wise, larps where characters and background are known weeks or months ahead of play will often have a fairly high average level of costuming.<br />
* Larps where players are much younger (college level) will tend to have less costuming; contra-wise, larps where players are older, more well off, or have been larping a long time will tend to include more costuming.<br />
* Larps at non-larp events (gaming and sf conventions, for instance) will tend to expect less costuming than stand-alone larps or larps at dedicated larp events.<br />
* For obvious reasons, a the more often and longer a character is played or expected to be played, the more costuming work will be done on them.<br />
<br />
For some examples:<br />
<br />
* [[Live-combat]] games will often expect more costuming than [[parlor larp]] games -- because the base immersion expectation is higher.<br />
* [[Gencon]] larps have no expectation of costuming. However, because Gencon larpers trend somewhat older and more experiened than average for non-larping events, larpers will often bring costuming suitable to the period the larp is set in even if they did not have pre-game casting.<br />
* [[Weekend-long theatre-style game]]s will often have a high expected level of costuming (although less if they are run on a college campus), and even provide a closet of extra costumes for use of those playing temporary characters.<br />
* [[American freeform]] larps will often include no costume -- but when they are announced and run with a specific period, players may find a way to costume for them anyway if in a long-lived community.<br />
* [[Campaign larps]], because the same character is played over multiple sessions, months, and even years, will tend to include a very high level of costuming compared to shorter games.<br />
<br />
In general, the default amount of costuming for a game is "street clothes" -- and it can be expected that if more costuming (or less) is demanded than that, this will be stated up front. However, few larps complain when players do the minimum (although again, if for one reason or another, costuming is discouraged, this would also be expected to be stated up front).<br />
<br />
Games that pre-cast before the [[character sheet]]s are (for whatever reason) able to be sent out will often send out a [[costuming hint]] to allow players to work on their costume in advance of a full character sheet. <br />

<hr />
<div>'''American freeform''' is a tradition of small, focused larp which evolved from [[Jeepform]], Danish freeform, [[Nordic larp]], [[theatre-style]] larp, and tabletop indie RPGs. It differs from [[theatre-style]] in that it is only semi-live; some parts may be closer to a tabletop rpg, and it may use significant GM or player narration. It differs from [[Jeepform]] in having an emergent rather than set narrative.<ref>[https://guyintheblackhat.wordpress.com/2013/11/23/american-freeform-a-transatlantic-dialog/ American Freeform: A Transatlantic Dialog], Evan Torner, November 23, 2013. Retrieved January 31, 2016.</ref> It differs from [[Nordic larp]] and Danish freeform in that it is specifically American.<ref>[http://leavingmundania.com/2013/11/18/introducing-american-freeform/ Introducing American Freeform], ''Leaving Mundania'', November 18, 2013. Retrieved January 31, 2016.</ref> <br />
<br />
American freeforms tend to be small and short, with between 3 and 12 players and lasting no more than four hours (with two being more typical). They tend to use scenes and [[metatechnique]]s. At the edges, some American freeforms (e.g. [[JUGGERNAUT]]) are indistinguishable from theatre-style larp, while others are indistinguishable from a tabletop freeform game.<br />
<br />
The style was initially defined by Lizzie Stark.<ref>[http://leavingmundania.com/2013/11/18/introducing-american-freeform/ Introducing American Freeform], ''Leaving Mundania'', November 18, 2013. Retrieved January 31, 2016.</ref> It is supported by an annual competition, the [[Golden Cobra Challenge]].<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Costustuming''' is, for [[larp]] purposes, any kind of alteration participants make to their appearance in order to match the theme, situation, or specific characters they are playing -- most often, the latter. Costuming may consist of clothing (of any material), masks, makeup, armor, movement aids like stilts, wigs, and occasionally even modification to the participant's appearance like growing or shaving off a beard.<br />
<br />
Costuming for larps ranges from no costuming, to minimal costuming (a hat, mask, wig, or vest that suggests the character rather than an attempt at a full outfit), full costuming, or even very involved costuming involving historical costume research, multiple changes in outfits and complex, multi-person outfits.<br />
<br />
Different larps, and different larp communities vary significantly in how much costuming is expected of participants. In general:<br />
<br />
* Larps that value a high degree of situational immersion will demand more (often full) costuming.<br />
* Larps where characters are created as part of play (using [[workshop]]s, and/or [[collaborative design]]) will tend to expect few to no costuming.<br />
* Contra-wise, larps where characters and background are known weeks or months ahead of play will often have a fairly high average level of costuming.<br />
* Larps where players are much younger (college level) will tend to have less costuming; contra-wise, larps where players are older, more well off, or have been larping a long time will tend to include more costuming.<br />
* Larps at non-larp events (gaming and sf conventions, for instance) will tend to expect less costuming than stand-alone larps or larps at dedicated larp events.<br />
* For obvious reasons, a the more often and longer a character is played or expected to be played, the more costuming work will be done on them.<br />
<br />
For some examples:<br />
<br />
* [[Live combat]] games will often expect more costuming than [[parlor larp]] games -- because the base immersion expectation is higher.<br />
* [[Gencon]] larps have no expectation of costuming. However, because Gencon larpers trend somewhat older and more experiened than average for non-larping events, larpers will often bring costuming suitable to the period the larp is set in even if they did not have pre-game casting.<br />
* [[Full Weekend]] [[Theater-Style]] games will often have a high expected level of costuming (although less if they are run on a college campus), and even provide a closet of extra costumes for use of those playing temporary characters.<br />
* [[American Freeform]] larps will often include no costume -- but when they are announced and run with a specific period, players may find a way to costume for them anyway if in a long-lived community.<br />
* [[Campaign Larps]], because the same character is played over multiple sessions, months, and even years, will tend to include a very high level of costuming compared to shorter games.<br />
<br />
In general, the default amount of costuming for a game is "street clothes" -- and it can be expected that if more costuming (or less) is demanded than that, this will be stated up front. However, few larps complain when players do the minimum (although again, if for one reason or another, costuming is discouraged, this would also be expected to be stated up front).<br />

<div>I'm wondering if there's a better name for this. "Theatre style full-length" seems very SIL/ILF-specific, but "weekend-long game" would cause confusion with the standard live-combat campaign format. Any better suggestions? (If so, remembr to change all the incoming links to match)--[[User:IdiotSavant|IdiotSavant]] ([[User talk:IdiotSavant|talk]]) 12:30, 21 January 2015 (PST)<br />
<br />
Weekend long theatre style game? I've never heard theatreform used by actual people to refer to theatrical games, particularly since the -form thing was coined by (as far as I know) people whose experience post-dated the primacy of the weekender.

The earliest one I know about was Busses Welcome (definitely earlier; I see a [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.games.frp.advocacy/VfAzw4ZFmxw reference to it in 1996 from Stephanie Olmstead-Dean], and also a reference to it on Jeff Diewald's larp resume).

Email with Stephanie confirms that the first run of Busses Welcome was in 1996, and was probably the first horde game at Intercon, although she doubts that it was the first horde game ever.
