Le GN à la hongroise

Une petite explication du LARP (GN) à la hongroise. Merci Dob pour tes explications.

Traduction française à venir, si j'oublie pas entre temps et si quelqu'un m'y fait penser, parceque sinon... je vais encore zapper.

Hi,

You asked me in a comment to tell about the LARP in Hungary.

This is a sad story. In Hungary the LARP is not so popular

like in Germany, Finnland, or in other West European country.

We Hungarian "Larpers" are the minority who make something

"funy" in the weekends. The average people don't know to much

(nothing) about LARP.

There is about 20-25 Events in a year. Each organizer Group

make a different, separated game. There is high fantasy, dark

fantasy, mixed etc.. but mostly fantasy. The organizer groups

are working separated from eachother. There is no connection

between the games of other groups. On an average event near to

Budapest there are ~70-100 players. But when you make a game

not so near to the captial city, then 40 people is good.

So, in summary:

-There are not so many potentialy players. The most is young

(16-20 years old), and boy :(

-The organizers are the concurent of eachother, so the friendship

is rare between the leaders.

-There is an initiative to make a meeting for all LARP organizer

in each year (twice) to discuss about the problems, and events,

and best practices, and drink beer together.

-The weapons of the players are all homemade becaue in Hungary

there is no shop where you can buy standard LARP weapons. And

it's a little bit to expensive to buy one in other countries.

-The entrance fee for the events are very low. Around 5€.

-Most events are 2-3 days long (Frday-Saturday-Sunday)

Maybe this are the most typical properties of the Hungarian

Larp community.

And what is the situation in France? I think this is much popular

and accepted by the average people.
