Welcome to Gaia! ::

Let us look at the differences between a Larper and a Ren Faire Actor



Actors and Reenactors are people who portray someone as historically accurate as possible. They tend to wear muted colors that blend together with the rest of the troops. The weapons and armor are real, and they understand the historic significance of the person they portray.



LARPers or Live action role players, portray a character that is supposed to exist in an alternative reality or universe. They wear bright, easily recognizable colors, so you can tell who's coming from miles away. They do not use real weapons nor armor and would not know historical accuracy if it came up and bit them in the face.

I'd fancy a big Elizabethan dress. Was that the Renaissance? Sometimes our belly dancing troupe does Ren Faires...but that doesn't really make any sense to me.
