Shade's LARP List has long been touted as one of the most complete and useful lists of LARPs around the world in existence.

This is simply because it is, from what I can see, the only list of LARPs from around the world in existence.

If there was one iota of competition against Shade's, somebody who knew how to run a database-driven site, maybe somebody that could actually make the database, oh, I don't know, have some structure to it, Shade's LARP List would be no more.

But it is what I have to work with, alas.

So I'm slowly crawling through the list, using ctrl+f and typing in nearby state names in hopes that I'll find something within 2 hours (or so) of northern Delaware. A little luck, but only through the forums, not the list itself.

So, here's the list of LARPs I want to check out, with hopes that more will be added soon:

7th Kingdom IGE - Rare, a relatively nice web page. It's just over two hours away according to Google Maps (oh, how I LOVE Google maps for finding LARPs, it's become SO much easier), so that's good. Their system looks fun. Will have to check them out.

Knight Realms - Cheesy name, but all in good fun. They have a very in-depth system, which isn't that easy to follow when reading on the web, but with a basic understanding of what's going on it seems as though somebody could just jump right in. It looks fun, and while it's a little farther away, it's less than 3 hours, so that's close enough.

And...that's it.

Do you know of LARPs in my area? Have you played in any? I'd love to hear what you thought; going to a LARP that I know a little about is always easier than going in fresh. Granted, I've gone into almost every single LARP without a clue as to what was going on, so that previous statement is pure conjecture on my part.

The game looks like a lot of fun, and I love the fact that you have obviously spent time on your website. Add in that your rules are readily available, and I have to say I like your style. Too many games expect you to play without knowing the rules, without knowing much about the game itself.

I'll be checking out 7th Kingdom as soon as I can.
