In LARPing, players spend their weekend dressing up in costumes, adopting elaborate personae, and inhabiting a complex imagined world.
The hobby, like most of "nerd" culture, has become increasingly mainstream.
Across the US, Canada, and Europe, LARPing groups are everywhere. There are more than 30 LARPing organizations in the US, each of which has tens of chapters and thousands of members.
We visited Alliance, one of the oldest live-action-role-playing groups in the country, in central Pennsylvania, last year to figure out what LARPing is all about.
