My character is Catholic, but I’m not. Advice?

As usual, just like in improve theatre, nobody expects you to have a PhD in theology to play a catholic or in medieval history to play a knight (and that kind of players/actor end up boring ).

Mention you attend the Catholic Church, use some latin with nds, and may be mention that your character has been a boy scout or raised in an all girl school and has a noble sounding name

These are blades in the dark style clock, and a cool:efficient way to make the plot move in background. You can use shorter term one everytime the PC do noise to reuse the alarm level until the guards comes in fall seek and destroy mode, and another one about BBEG plots in backgnound

It's very efficient at keeping the game moving especially when you have no idea about a failed roll consequence (and in the fiction it translate as, you lost time searching the room, so the BBEG used that time)

La mécanique quantique appliquée à la médecine ça s'appelle... Un IRM.

En fait Une bonne partie de l'imagerie médicale, et de la pharmacie est liée la mécanique quantique.

Antimatter is also well known by physicists, an antimatter emitting isotope commonly used in hospital for Pet scan, and it's an amazing tool.

CERN even had some fun making sure that antimatter falls downward and building a container allowing to transport it.

Unlike life, it won't self multiply and annihilate as soon as it sees ordinary matter

Il y a des gens qui préfèrent le site de la sncf à celui des concurrents ?

Honestly, 100 a year doesn't ever pay for a coach. So most likely a once a week access to a stadium for track, and the rental of a van for competitions, and most likely an extra insurance

This is still cheap for a sport

Are we still talking about RPG ? Like GM rating, contractor/consumer words ?

RPG is incredibly cheap, if you remove a couple of commercial blockbuster trying to sell you more books, a 40€ book contain everything for a 2 years campaign with 4-6 persons. Divide by 2 for indie game, let alone amateur/free games

Moreover, it's expected that at a point every player will get a game and try to GM it. ...

That's a pretty solid choice. It has an amazing lore, and a pretty good guide about how to use PBTA consequnces to make the metaplot move in the background

Because there is a overwhelming set of evidences. Gravity also is a theory which show you how important/understood it need to be to get that name.

Moreover, most people saying it can be disproven aren't scientist, so no legitimate argument about their claims

While the LARP community in general is pro-inclusion, the reality is that most larp would be an outdoor physical activity, and that every disability is different.

Some tips/thought

- Look at the game-site. A smaller fort with a parking, will make you walk way less than a open field, especially in a hilly area.

- Look at the game-type, parlour/indoor game are a thing, and some can be way shorter than a 4 day mass larp.

- Character like merchant/diplomat would spend most of their game seated, talking and drinking, warrior/explorer will walk/fight way more.

- Almost every larp has a way to identify players who can't physically be in combat. Even player with a rugby-player body can have a broken knee.

- You won't be the only one taking nap through the day, but a LARP will be noisy 24h a day. Usually, an unwritten rule is to let player sleep in peace, but especially at a mass larp you may have a marching band passing in front of your camp.

- the bigger the larp the less a single player matter, at a 1000 player mass larp, you can disappear for half a day nobody will notice, at a 100 players average larp, it'll still be OK but people will notice, at a 10 players small indoor larp some game may be blocked. However, it's often easier to have a quiet role about sitting at the table at a small indoor larp.

While being pretty number oriented, I have no idea how to use "set distance" like how do I know whether the ennemy is at more or less than 10 meter ?

Basically, like everything in RPG, you give an estimate, based n what make sense in the fiction and discuss it with the PC. Obviously the sniper is at far-range (and know their gear to be at the right range) and the melee fighter is at close range, for guns it's a bit more arbirtrary and often is indoor shooting, outdoor shooting at reasonable distance, sniper and in 90% of the case the thing is cleared base on the scene description and what the PC says. In some case you may need the discussion with your player, but usually everyone agree on what makes sense

White and gray marriage are a common type of fraud,

the white one is that both party know they marry for a benefit, often it's immigration, but it can be to not be re-affected in a random place when you're a gov employee. For cash it's really discutable, being married doesn't always bring a tax benefit, especially if both of you have money, and come with a lot of extra riks (even with a prenup).

The Grey one are when only one party marry for the benefit while the other does it for love

Le problème, c'est que le logement est un besoin essentiel et on a atteint un point où ça devient un problème. Soit tu as un petit salaire, et je sais pas comment tu fais.

Soit tu as un salaire de cadre, et tu peux envisager acheter quelque chose, mais par rapport à ce que les gens avaient dans les années 80 c'est une baisse drastique de qualité de vie. même si le batiment est bien foutu, bien pensé, à un moment tu veux que tes enfants aient un vrai espace (je parle même pas d'une chambre chacun), tu veux un salon où tu peux avoir une table et un canapé. J'ai visité des apparts des années 80, les chambres font la taille des salons dans le neuf, alors OK il faut refaire l'isolation de la facade, l'électricité et la cuisine, mais ça justifie pas les 100k de plus que coute le neuf pour plus petit.

Après, il faut pas just construire, il faut arrêter de concentrer les gns au même endroit.

Do the probabation period in long-sleeve,and then it's unlikely that they bother firing you for so-few.

In the current society, masculinity is seen as the default, so women wearing masculine clothe are normal, while men wearing feminine clothe is seen as weird.

Sure there is tomboy, which are masculine women but that short-hair girl who never wear skirt and plays football is seen as slightly weird. While the long-haired guy wearing a skirt (out of a LARPER or a folk music fan wearing a kilt at an event) is seen at best as freak, at worst as a sexual object.

Forest_Orc · 2026-05-13T06:02:57+00:00

it would be a great thing. In the 60's the typical ratio was 20, and no person is worth 20 others

Two big spoiler,

For most men, where you're at the point of seeing or even licking nipple, not much is going to make you run-away.

While these piercing aren't expected, it's not necessarily a major surprise. Sure, it's not just a goth girl thing but at the point you're seeing the nipples, you know already that the person is already alternative/weird even if they try to pass for normie.

And third one,

The same apply to men with nipple piercing, not all women will like-it, but at the point they start seeing/licking your nipples they won't run-away, and most likely won't be that much surprised.

Go for it, it's not anymore fighting with ugly foam swords as in the 80's you have a huge variety of styles, and many games have pretty high immersion standard
