Yeah its definitely hard sometimes when others especially aren't playing to lift in the same way as well. But its always worth it if you need to take a step back and take a breath and try to recenter.
How excellent! I remember seeing your older video a few months ago before committing to coming to the fest as a first timer I went to find it again and here you are making a new one! I’ll be coming as a Healer Carpenter Skaven in Shadow so I’ll have to see if I can come to your class! I come from Amtgard so being reminded of the calls and that it’s all theatrical is great to know. I’ll try to keep an ear out for more info about your class
Definitely took us a bit of adjustment but its honestly been such a blast, honestly my preferred larp combat style now. Still love a good quick boffer match here and there but playing up strikes and rolling around is just so much fun. I hope its the same for you. As for the class were aiming for a few hours before opening ceremony to try and catch the most people.
Thankful it helped, if you have any questions there will be an in person class we're gonna run and even out and about I will be happy to try and answer any questions as accurately as I can or just have a fun duel.
There has been a decent corps of pretty good foam fighters, there's also some martial artists, armored combat fighters, etc. Though as stated in the video everyone no matter how much they may be able to actually roll a field, all players should be playing to lift other fighters, and with a focus on theatrical combat. Doesn't mean you have to lose a fight you'd know you'd win, but allowing someone to lose strongly, or let them go to fight another day is something to consider. Obviously after safety we want everyone to be having fun, and wanting to come back again next year, otherwise the game won't grow.
Very helpful gents, thank you! I definitely struggled keeping a theatrical pace last year as battle heated up.

Bad video, couldn’t pay attention due to shield being too cool.
How many "experienced" fighters versus "green" fighters would we be expecting on the field? (Asking as an SCA, DAG, and Darkon vet of 20+ years)
