All Rights Reserved. Some Basics A live action role playing game is much like an amateur theatre group. The only things missing that makes this different from normal theater is a predetermined script and many props. The players determine what their character actually does.
Most props are nothing more than business card stock with the item descriptions on it.
This is done in the interest of safety so that no player can brandish fake weapons or have to purchase expensive objects. As in any role-playing game each player takes on the role of a fictional character. You play your character much as you would in any role playing setting but even more so. Instead of saying what actions your character takes, you actually make most those actions for real. Game mechanics are in place for handling difficult situations but for the duration of the game you act as if are the person you are portraying.
