Sick Puppy says: Thanks! to Skullduggery LARP

"Roleslay" (the feature length horror movie that Sick Puppy Films Ltd is now in the early stages of pre-production with) is set in the world of Live Action Roleplayers (aka LARP or LRP).

So naturally, as part of our research, Steve Cartwright contacted Skullduggery, one of the UK's leading LARP outfits. Thanks to Steve 'Sugarlump' Bradshaw and his team at Skullduggery for their continuing help and for allowing us to post LARP information from their website on our "Roleslay" website.

What is Live Action RolePlaying (LARP)?
Wikipedia defines it as follows:
"A live action role-playing game (LARP or LRP) is a form of role-playing game where the participants perform some or all of the physical actions of the characters they are playing within a pre-determined space for a pre-determined span of time. LARP may be considered a form of improvisational theatre."

You can now read the Skullduggery LARP handbook (on pdf) and view pictures of past LARP events on the "Roleslay" website.

Skullduggery runs regular LARP events at Ross Wood Scout Camp near Herne Bay in Kent. To find out more about LARP or about upcoming events, consult the Skullduggery website or call 01843 836104 during office hours only.
