The tabletop roleplaying community sure loves the idea of 1990s revival, but I won't believe we're actually serious about it until we commit to bringing back LARPs whose rules encourage their participants to commit real-life crimes.
Hey Pennsylvania pals - Are you a fun-loving geek? Do you love the outdoors? Do you love medieval fantasy? Do you love the idea of running around in the woods beating your friends with padded plumbing supplies?
Then come join me and my LARP fam April 27-28 at Olivet Blue Mountain Campground in Hamburg PA for Game 2 of the 2024 season of Xanodria Productions, Inc!
Xanodria (or XPI) is a Medieval Fantasy Live-Action Roleplay group based in Southeastern Pennsylvania, with over 30 years of history and lore and a lively, inclusive atmosphere where all are welcome, whether you're a veteran LARPer or just picking up your first sword.
You can create your own character in a well-established and deeply-immersive medieval fantasy world with many nations, faiths, and professions to choose from. Learn swordplay, magic, alchemy, physiking, and other skills to help you on your journey. Join a faction or forge your own path. Join your fellow wanderers as we explore new lands and battle the forces of evil. Or if you'd rather, join the cast, get your monster on, and give those foolish mortals what for!
(Onsite accommodations for lodging and camping are available. Food is provided with your admission fee and new player orientation is held before every event.)
Visit the Xanodria Productions Inc (XPI) Facebook page for more information or check out our FAQs and feel free to message the staff with any questions you may have.
Pre-registration for Game 2 is now open! Tell 'em Bree Landwalker sent you. 😉
In his journals we can see that John Barrow jr was Navy larping every day when he started his morning hoisting a flag, striking 8 bells, & piping to signal breakfast was ready. His friend Lockwood made some funny sketches of 8 belles struck by Barrow & Barrow smoking a pipe at breakfast (with a bottle of cognac).
Finally got some good pics of Ainsel’s summer kit!
Since this event was more “sit around a fire and chat” than “kill wolves in the woods”, I didn’t feel the need to stack up on armor like usual. She’s got good mobility and a few armor points from the bracers, though the lack of traction on those sandals turned out to be a problem!
The badge Ainsel wears is a symbol of the tiny house she’s heir to, Hobb’s Peak. They’re technically wearing it always, but it’s hard to display with armor!
When buying jewelry for yourself does anyone else base your choices off the hypothetical scenario of stumbling into a fantasy setting in which your jewelry could transform into a weapon/become magical and give you powers or am I alone in this?

And I have this brooch and TELL ME this isn't a magical girl item
