It might require some googling to find, especially smaller groups of which I'm most fond of. According to Wikipedia, in France it is called grandeur nature.
However, I think it is inappropriate to spam this thread with such information so if you are interested, you can create your own thread, surely there are more fellow larpers or just pm me. But I'm a pretty much beginner, so thread might be of more use to you.

There is indeed a thread for reenactment/LARP if you guys want to keep talking there! :)

And welcome, Johiny, Rouiletta, and everyone else who's recently joined us! I hope you enjoy it here! ^-^

Hello! My name is Skip, or Skips, or Skipper, Skippy, whatever my conversational partner feels most like using. I'm born and raised in Norway, with some English family, and I learned Swedish because I felt like it. I do a lot of things because I feel like it, or out of spite. So far it has gotten me many good things. I'm currently on a gap year before starting high school - that means more time to get used to this forum and its inhabitants, no?
My friends would refer to me as the delicate flower who is always screaming at the top of her lungs about something. I do yell a lot.
I love Nordic culture and history, and work hard to honour my heritage as a Norwegian. I look forward to Christmas.
Feel free to come say hi in my inbox! I don't bite. I just hug gently.

learning (slowly): :poland: :germany:
few phrases like the tourist i am: :russia: :france:

Welcome skips, Roulietta, Lyric, and Johniny. During a brief lapse I had let go of welcoming people.
I hope you all have fun on the forum, and with the community as a whole. We have fun here. If you stick around long enough, there will be an event soon. A little while ago we watched a movie to celebrate the forum's birthday.
Also, with all the new members having French in their language repertoire, I feel like I ought to try and revive my French.
Spoiler: show
Just wanted to give special note to accidentally pulling out a French origin word when speaking about French

Hi. I'm the one who calls herself Zinvia. I've picked up some mannerisms from cats in my youth, which is probably part of the cause of my weird social development. I mostly read, draw and procrastinate, often while breaking the flimsy rules I set up for myself every day. I don't know how much I'll be here, but I'm almost always somewhere in the SSSS comments, under this same name. That's about all I have to say for now.

Welcome.  It's been fun getting to watch you develop slowly in the community, which in my book can be a sign of a person with a healthy wariness of internet shenanigans.  The Forum has a similar culture to the Disqus comments in that it's generally quite mature in its attitudes and courtesies, even when its members are often actually young (meaning high-school or university age).
