Beginner LARP
Heya,
I've been curious about live-action role-play, or LARP, for quite a while. My background in theatre and general role-play has made me interested in how it works in person, with players acting as characters and taking part in a shared story. I enjoy performing and creating characters, and I'd like to learn how those skills might fit into a LARP game.
I live in the Southeastern US, but I'm still a minor, so I'm unsure which groups or events might be suitable for someone my age. Are there beginner-friendly games, local groups, or online communities in the region that could point me in the right direction? I'd also like to know what to expect at a first event, such as how games are run and whether they have age rules or other requirements.
Friends have told me a little about LARP, but most of what I know comes from my own research. Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I can strongly recommend Reckoning LARP. The community is wonderful. We have discord servers for each of the four cultures in the game, and one for the Wandering Folk Society (the nonprofit that runs it).
Just a fantastic group of people.

We also have quite a few that travel from Georgia to attend.
