Sveiki! Es esmu no Polija un... I want to make a connection with people from latvian fantasy movement. I do project in Sece (small village in Aizkraukles Rajons) and I want make there some LARPs. I will be there 10 months. In Poland (and in Czech Republic) I was makeing many LARPs and I want to continue this in Latvija. Ja tas ir viss. Es gaidu e-mails... partizan@o2.pl
5 pictures from our LARPs...
Do you make LARPs only for boofed swords? Cause IMHO isn't wooden or textolite (don't know how to spell it) better?
Though, don't you worry, here are a lot of people who like boofed weapons better that wooden as well.
Pictures seem nice.
I think it would be wise to exchange know-how of boofed weapon crafting and yielding. Maybe you could attend to a boofed sword making workshop this weekend in Ikskile, Rigas raj.? There would be plenty of Latvian "larp" and specifically "boofed larp" people. Other than that every weekend, Saturday some of us gather for a boofed weapon fight trainings. That happens in Riga as well.
It's not that hard and expensive to get from Aizkraukle to Riga with train. Most of the larpers in Latvia are found in Riga, that's where you should look for them.
Then, maybe, when you are planning to come, give us a message here. I am pretty certain a lot of people would like to meet you.
Maybe next weekend (23-24) I will go to Riga... or maybe on 27 sept. I will go to Salaspils (there was great polish-swedish battle 27 IX 1605)
Are there ruins of first christian church near this Ikskile? Am I right? Do you do there LARPs (in Ikskile - not in church)?
PS. That I wrote I will organize scotch games in my village in this saturday but I completly forgot that then will be Baltais Saule!!! I will lose great event! Do you know, is there in Latvia some party like Baltais Saule in other time (from october '06 to may '07)?
I will on the Baltais Saule... (Highland games will be on sunday) If somebody will be also we can meet and talk about LARPs:)
Sveiki!
Varbut es busu Riga 21.10 un es varu darit boofed sword making workshop. I have also some idea to make a nightLARP in one place in Riga. If some people are interesting in this please contact me... Let's forward!
I can go on other weekend or on friday evening... In fact it depend on your will and my time...
Unluckily during this weekend is going to be a boofed LARP Woolfsong, which means that most likely the majority of those who are interested in boofed workshop will be there. Though I might be mistaken.
By the way you can check out some pictures from our boofed workshop which took place a month ago:

This weekend there is a boofedlarp planned ("Wolfsong") in Suntazi thus many players that prefer boofed swords most likely won't be in Riga.
Andza, b.lin, pasteidzās.
Failte!
My target to this weekend in fact is one party in Liepaja but... I one day I can go on a LARP or workshop if it is not in Latgale vai Vidzeme because it is not my direction. I am very interesting how it (LARP movement) looks in Latvia.
Where is this Suntazi?
Well, I am afraid it is in Vidzeme:
And if you decide to come to our "WolfSong" please contact me and i explane how to get there and rest stuff. mob. 26471183
Yes it is Vidzeme... and Liepaja is not in this direction...
But We can meet some day in Riga in some place (tavern:) and parunat about LARPs. Sometimes I am in Riga (expecially in weekends).
And as I said I have some idea to make LARP in Riiga. I know one very interesting place - Lielie Kapi... (now it is a park) and I have some night-larp scenario with some vampires lord:) I did this LARP in Czech Rep. and was very good:)

Sloan!
Lol, LARP in Great Graveyards sounds very, very intresting. Especially if game starts in midnight. We can also try to exhume fresh bodies who are buried earlier in the day and to hang up these bodies in nearest tree.
Lielie kapi = Rīgas centrs = LOL
Super, tagad mēs šeit runājamies ar čehu kapu apgānītāju.....
Šobrīd es tik tiešām piekrītu tiem, kas saka, ka larperi nav diezko normāli.
[marked for deletion by author]
tas ir parks
nozelojama ideja .......
very stupid idea ..........
Kapēc, lai spēlētu vampīrlarpus nepieciešami kapi?
Es tomēr kapos, lai arī pārveidotos par parkiem, naktīs jūtos neomulīgi.
Lai radītu settingu nav nepieciešama vieta, kas atbilst reālās dzīves vietai. Tad jau fantasy larpus mums vajadzētu rīkot Rundāles pilī un sazin vēl kādās muižās.
Ok. Atskaitot faktu, ka LARP'i more or less sux, kāpēc, lai nevarētu LARP'oties kapos?
Ar ko kapi atšķiras no kaut kāda meža? Vai parka? Ar to, ka tur apakšā pūst līķi? Big deal. Tepat Rīgas rajonos, kas izveidojušies pēc 17. gs. ir pagrūti atrast vietu, zem kuras kāds nebūtu veiksmīgi norakts.
Ja Tīreļpurvā, zem kura par barību tārpiem ir kļuvuši neskaitāmi cilvēki, tantiņas var pilnīgā ````ā lasīt sēnes, kāpēc, lai bariņš dīvaini tērptu, gārdzošu cilvēku ar putopolietelēna tamponiem roķelēs nevarētu taisīt savu lomu atspēlēšanu kapos? Turklāt tādos, kuriem jau sen ir piešķirts parka statuss. Neviens taču negrasās tos miroņus rakt laukā, apkaisīt ar sāli un pārabedīt nepareizajās vietās just for some sick sense of fun.
es vēlreiz saku - tas ir rīgas centrs. tur blakus dzīvo cilvēki, kuri, lai gan paši piedalijušies larpos, ļooooti iebilstu, ja pie viņu daudzstāvenēm/privātmājām rīkotu larpu *rāda uz sevi*
es vienkārši nesaprotu kā var šķist interesanta ideja rīkot larpu
-tik apdzīvotā vietā, bez tam tā vieta ir iekļauta t.s. Zemes mātes projektā.-
..un vispār kapos. var vienkārši paņemt sastādīt krustus kādā pļavā/mežā - re, šeit tagad būs kapi, baidamies XD
es piennemu ka es esmu pietiekami kompetents lai teiktu ka tas ir parks es vinnam blakus nodziivoju gadu kapi ir otraa pusee tas par ko mees runaajam arii ir tikai un vieniigi zalla teritorija riigaa kuraa pa dienu uzturaas jaunaas maaminnas ar beerniem un pensionaari ar sunniem un pa nakti jauniessi kas dzer un bomziissi kas gull taadejaadi es tos nespeeju nosaukt par kapiem.....
un iisteniibaa zinot taa parka plaanojumu vinnss iisteniibaa ir diezgan ideaali piemeerots larpam......
Ta nu gan ņematies. Tāpat ir skaidrs, ka LARPu lielajos kapos neviens nerīkos. Kaut arī protams teorētiski var apspriest.
Savukārt runājam no teorētiskās puses par kapu apgānīšanu, tad apgānīšana skaitās kādos tur noteiktos likumā atrunātos gadījumos, kā arī to cilvēku uztverē, kas uzskata kapsētu par ''tabu'' visādām atraktīvām izdarībām. Tā, kā no juridiskās puses skatoties, ja netiek čurāts uz krustiem, vai kas rakts ārā, tad nekāda apgānīšana nenotiek, līdz ar to var rīkot, jo Lielie Kapi ja nemaldos ir sabiedrika telpa. Vienīgi pieņemu, ka var piesieties no juridiskā viedokļa no tā aspekta, ka tiek rīkots sabiedrisks pasākums un vajag pašvaldības saskaņojumu.
In Czech Republic I did this LARP not in kapi - only in park (private park around the XIX cent. villa) but I think this place (Lielie Kapi) is very good to make something. Usually I am very "pret" to do something in cementary but Lielie Kapi after communism time is not real kapi only park (or memorial park)... and daily there is 100 dogs!
One big plus (+) of this place is - SPACE. A lot of space! ...and good communication with centre (tramvaj no 11)
My LARP is without weapon (tikai 2 zobeni) and not very offensive. If somebody want to play or help me please contact me. Es domaju real term is middle of november or beggining of december (better dec. with snow...). In the end of november I will have concert in Warsaw and I will not be in Latvia. Of course I can not to do this LARP if there are some agruments against... Unfortunetelly I do not understand your previous argumentation (my latvian is still not very good).
Pozdrawiam!
Hmm... so maybe some LARP in Karosta in Liepaja Tas ir another nice place...
it is not a very good place to make something, because nobody would let you to "make there something". you would have to get permission from local government (or smth) and I don`t think that they would give you this permission, because 1)its too public for such an activity, 2)I dont think that people, who live near there, would like that in their local park somethings going on like this : D 3) this memorial park takes a part in "zemes māte" project
but.. karosta is a very nice place XD but maybe too far from riga
I can tell from my personal experience that Bikernieku forest in the winter is quite an excellent choice!
And what language would the game be?
p.s. mangaļu sala arī varētu būt pat laba vieta.
what permision as i understand its one night LARP and it wont be big that means noobody even noitice that so no permisions is needed its big and at night there is almoust noone
y i would love to play at it just to see how it goes and how good are u
and i think that first december week is good
tāpat tais kapos, tb parkā, katru dienu un naktīs cilvēki dzer, runā, bļaustās, pa reizie tur policija atbrauc, bet tā kā domājams larperi ar aliņu rokās neskraidīs, tad neko piesiet īpaši tur nevar.
