LARPs at Arisia
Arisia 2016 has a wide selection of live-action roleplaying games available this year, from fantasy to science fiction to steampunk adventure! All of this year's games welcome new and interested players, although some are part of a greater story that you can learn about through play.
Some of these games use "boffer," or foam weapons, in play; if you have some of your own, feel free to bring them—but check with the game moderators to see if they’re acceptable for use under the rules of that particular game. Other games use cards or other randomizers.
