This article will cover the definition of this term, as well as other meanings that you can find within Twitter&#8217;s terminology. You can learn more about LARPs by reading on! After reading this article, you&#8217;ll know what the term means and whether or not it&#8217;s right for you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cosplay\"><\/span>Cosplay<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever played a LARP on Twitter, you know what I&#8217;m talking about. The acronym LARP stands for Live Action Role-Playing. In the world of Twitter, it has another meaning. Below, I&#8217;ll explain the difference between LARP and trolling. Both terms are similar, but they serve different purposes. What&#8217;s more, you can choose any of them to play in a game.<\/p>\n<p>A LARP, or Live Action Role Play, is a type of role-playing experience that uses props, cosplay costumes, and other elements of fiction. The idea is to dress up and act out an action story. The LARP may be an adventure or a fantasy story. The games may be played in a virtual location, and participants may act like other characters or use costumes to look like real people.<\/p>\n<p>LARPing is a form of social-media role-playing that is similar to tabletop games like Role Playing Games. Participants create characters, and interact with Game Masters or Storytellers who play those characters. LARPing shares some roots in table-top games like &#8220;rock-paper-scissors,&#8221; which are played with a similar set of rules. In addition to social-media interaction, LARPing often involves an online community.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Public_spaces\"><\/span>Public spaces<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you run a LARP on Twitter, you know how unwelcoming the online community can be. Some people may not even know what a LARP is, so they may assume that people participating in the game are simply loitering goths. While that may be the case, you can easily disassociate yourself from LARPers by sharing links to games, crowdfunding campaigns, and publications related to LARPing.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uGYJpUBISwg\" width=\"368\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"206\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is a LARP on Twitter?
