I’ve done this, and it really is. It’s peak goth but also peak positive socialization. All the community and dress of a nightclub, with all the camaraderie of being around other gamers, but all the drama is completely (okay, mostly) made up and you can hear everyone talk. I spent so many wonderful summer evenings this way.
LARP is great like that. You will meet people. You will make friends. You may even get a few girlfriends like GP did.
Vampire LARP rules emphasize role-play and soft-skills, where combat falls to rock-paper-scissors and usually lasts mere seconds. So, more streamlined than the already streamlined tabletop version. It’s zero fun if you break character, and a lot more fun if you lean into improv and ham it up. I’ve also done this with a team of storytellers hosting the event which really kept things moving along. It’s good fun all around.
Ha! That sounds really neat!
