As a part of the fighting, you will use weapons intended for safety, often made from foam. The rules may vary from group to group. Check with your local group to determine their specific rules and requirements. Regardless, LARP events are intended for people to have fun. One of the most famous LARP events, Biccoline is in Canada. This event draws many people for the fun of fighting and roleplaying!
