If they'd been around when I was younger, I'd have been a LARPer.

Playing a LARP is often called larping, and one who does it is a larper.

Leonard, known as the LARPer, is a guy who always dresses up as a wizard and tries to perform fake magic tricks.

Lord Tourettes (voiced by Ben Tuller) is a magical, whimsical and effeminate larper with Tourette's syndrome, hence his name.

Whenever a science fiction convention came to town, some LARPer would convince them to let us run a couple of six-hour mini-games at the con, piggybacking on their rental of the space.

LARP Alliance brought Iron Liege (a US-based LARP weapon and gear manufacturer) into the project to provide the majority of all on-screen weapons and shields used by the lead characters and LARPer extras.

Now, it's easy to see why most of these didn't make the grade ("Glassicus" makes you sound like an anachronistic Roman-age LARPer whilst "hear me now" is best left to hype men) but others seem perfectly logical - "pew pew pew" is particularly sobering reminder of the greatness that could have been.
