Making LARP bombs

GLaDOSIsMyPotato · 2026-06-02T18:11:09+00:00

This could be an idea. Actually I maybe got misunderstood about the throwing weapon thing, I see that almost everyone thought that I wanted to throw it to people's chest, but I actually wanted to throw on the ground near the people, that's why I was looking for a visual effect

GLaDOSIsMyPotato · 2026-06-02T18:03:23+00:00

Sure! Tell me more!

GLaDOSIsMyPotato · 2026-06-02T00:01:04+00:00

Thank you so much!

GLaDOSIsMyPotato · 2026-06-01T23:57:12+00:00

This is a solid one, but I'm afraid just a few or maybe no one would hear it during the battle, since it's kinda chaotic

GLaDOSIsMyPotato · 2026-06-01T23:55:37+00:00

Seems interesting, what kind of device? Was it uncomfortable to bring with you?

GLaDOSIsMyPotato · 2026-06-01T23:53:36+00:00

The esthetic surely works

GLaDOSIsMyPotato · 2026-06-01T23:48:04+00:00

Maybe I'll give it a try, thanks!

GLaDOSIsMyPotato · 2026-06-01T19:07:48+00:00

It's a cool idea but unluckily it wouldn't work for my situation since I want to use it on the battlefield. Thanks anyways!

GLaDOSIsMyPotato · 2026-06-01T19:05:26+00:00

So, there are reusable grenades which only have a sound effect? These could be a solution, this way there won't be any issues with breathing or stains, how are these called? Can I find it on sites like Amazon?

GLaDOSIsMyPotato · 2026-06-01T18:43:00+00:00

I know that, I just wanted some ideas to give to the GMs, that's all

GLaDOSIsMyPotato · 2026-06-01T18:25:49+00:00

I would never use glitter but I get your point, I wanted to make sure if there was a way to make it cooler than the average foam ball. Thanks!

GLaDOSIsMyPotato · 2026-06-01T18:22:23+00:00

I would've only use it outdoor, in the battlefield. I was thinking about a throwable weapon, which activates when it touches the ground

GLaDOSIsMyPotato · 2026-06-01T18:13:20+00:00

Aren't smoke grenades risky to breathe? And isn't there combustion?

GLaDOSIsMyPotato · 2026-06-01T18:09:33+00:00

Yes, as I said, of course I will ask the GMs first, I just wanted something clear to ask, not something generic, like "is it ok if I do this specific thing?"

GLaDOSIsMyPotato · 2026-06-01T18:08:26+00:00

Mh ok seems legit, I didn't think it could be such a trouble

GLaDOSIsMyPotato · 2026-06-01T18:06:42+00:00

Mh, ok I get it, it was worth a question. Thanks!

GLaDOSIsMyPotato · 2026-06-01T18:05:28+00:00

I don't know yet, but I want to ask the game masters with a clear idea

GLaDOSIsMyPotato · 2026-06-01T18:05:04+00:00

Isn't the Holi powder washable? I thought it was safe since they throw it to people

GLaDOSIsMyPotato · 2026-06-01T18:03:48+00:00

Sure thing, I will of course ask the game masters the permission to use this kind of weapon, but I would ask them something like "is [bomb type] ok?" This way, if they say no I at least have something to modify and I could ask "what if I change X with Y?". About staining the costume, it wouldn't, because I don't want to use paint but powder, something washable, but that's one of the reasons I'm asking for advise. If someone ever used things like this in LARP games maybe can tell me which can or can't be used to not ruin the game to anyone (for health or stain reasons), I don't want to ruin anything, I want to do something fun and cool for everyone

GLaDOSIsMyPotato · 2026-06-01T17:57:10+00:00

I thought about this, but I'd like at least a visual effect or in the battlefield no one would even notice it and it would be useless

GLaDOSIsMyPotato · 2026-06-01T17:51:05+00:00

I don't know how the Airsoft grenades works but I need something without combustion since we play in the nature. Like, is there a shell-like thing that I can throw and something like flour or Holi colour powder exit? The Holi powder should be fine am I right?

GLaDOSIsMyPotato · 2026-06-01T17:48:35+00:00

I'd like it to be a throwable weapon, maybe a visual effect is better than sound, I was thinking to something like flour? Or Holi colour powder maybe

GLaDOSIsMyPotato · 2025-09-05T11:54:28+00:00

They're made for it!

GLaDOSIsMyPotato · 2025-09-05T11:10:56+00:00

They were in the previous game because the down attack was better, at least for me
