What’s the difference between a LARP event and an SCA event?
LARP stands for live-action roleplaying. SCA stands for Society for Creative Anachronism. LARP events can cover a wide range of aesthetics and styles. They can include LARP battles. Usually, LARPers will fight with foam weapons at their battles. Meanwhile, in the USA, SCA groups will often reenact historical scenes. This can include battles like the famous Pennsic. When members of SCA groups reenact, they often have high standards of historical accuracy when it comes to the clothing, weapons, and armour used.
