How can I find stuff to do at a LARP?

Question

Everybody already knows everyone else! I don't know how to break into the clique and my characters end up with nothing to do. I do a lot during my Before Game Action (BGA) but nobody even wants to TALK to me at game! Help!

Answer 1

Easiest way to do it is NPC or whatever they call it at your larp when the GM/Plot/Guys in charge create a character for you to play. That will force interaction and hopefully will break the ice a bit. There will probably be other folks doing the same thing, and of course, you'll get to know the GM's/Storytellers/Plot/Guys in charge so you'll have them to talk to as well. If your BGA stuff involves working with other people, talk to them about thier characters while you are sharing that task, if your just starting a new character ask if you can tie your character's background into thiers. If there are any religous or otherwise fanatical groups in your larp, in-game that is, then being even more fanatical in your character is an easy ticket to entrance.
