Live-action roleplaying, often referred to as LARPing, is a type of roleplaying where you physically act out the things you do. Here at LURPS, we host a number of different LARP games, alternating week-to-week.
Unnumbered years into a future ruled by dark and terrible gods, the spacefaring Divine Authority needs mad soldiers of fortune like you to enforce its will and fight enemies of its own creation, the ever-growing Machine menace.

LURPs sometimes invites local LARP groups to come and run events specifically for us. Many of these are horror based, like Room Thirteen, Aeon Horror, or Shunned House, but this is dependent on member interest.
We also run freeform events and other one-offs throughout the term. Details for these will be announced at the regular Tuesday/Thursday meetings as well as on our Facebook group.
In our regular Saturday LARP adventures, LURPS uses a simple system for keeping track of how many adventures each member has been a player on, and how many they have been crew on (or "monstered").
Adventures monstered will give you credit, and adventures played will lower your credit.
When more people want to play than we have crew for, those with the lowest overall "credits" will be asked to step over to the crew for that adventure.
We do not prevent people from going into negative player-monster credits, but we do ask people to be considerate. Positive credit is wiped over summer between academic years.
