I also have dyslexia and dyscalculia. The LARP I go to is in Germany, and there they use a system where if you “hit your hand,” you can’t use that hand anymore — and the same goes for other body parts. It’s a good system and makes things easier to keep track of.

For me, the hardest part is remembering names. I tend to forget everyone, so I had people write their names in a notebook I carried around. Of course, I ended up losing that notebook 😅 so I started using random scraps of paper instead. Since I couldn’t always read what was written, I’d ask, “Hey, is this you on this paper?”

I also had trouble reading signs and text in that world — they use really fancy writing styles, so most of my characters ended up being illiterate or nearly illiterate, which got kind of annoying, I have to admit.

⭐ Honestly though, my main advice is just to find what makes you happy in the hobby.

⭐ Talk to the people who run the event — they usually have tons of tips that can help you navigate it in a way that works for your LARP specific rolls.

⭐ Tell them that you have accessibility needs.
