Survey - what would you like to have in LARPs

[Krith'Rup / Slarn]

Hi All,

An electronics engineer from the Israeli tech institution has recently called me, and said he is looking to develop some items, that would benefit the LARPs.

He asked me if there is something that me and my LARPer friends think that is missing in our LARP scenes.

His initial thought was to develop a smart armor / shirt, that counts hit points, and transmits it to some necklace / gem-type item, that changes the color from green to red, when your hit points are gone - thus helping you know when you should fall dead (the idea is that each player will upload his character sheet into that necklace, and it will function differently based on your character sheet).

I told him that I think it is better if he can develop the means to present magic spells, so that everyone can see and notice them, as per the rule of "you can play only what you can show".

Anyhow, he asked that I send you this survey, to read your views on the matter, so please take a few moments to fill it and hopefully, one day it will help to upgrade the LARP experience:

Dont have the Time now for that link, but i really hate the idea of a hit point counter on the outfit. Larp is not some kind of laser tag. Every one has to be fair, and if youre a non fair play guy, i wouldnt play with you, so a counter isnt necessary imo


If the guys colud create some light effects for magic spells i would appreciate it.

Thanks, Uruk; that is also exactly what I told him.
Anyhow, if the people here could take some 5 minutes to answer the survey, it could help set things in motion, and maybe one day there will be products of safe magic light / sound effects in LARPS.
