Trek LARP?

[Taylirious]

I know a lot of money goes into fan films with re-creating sets for filming but does anyone just LARP? I would love to do this on an actual set for a certain period of time. Maybe I am getting the idea of it wrong but it would be fun to show up in uniform on a ship and act out just to act out.

Does this happen?

I have never heard of it happening due to the cost involved but, if it ever does, someone had better be sending me a message to invite me! XD

Closest thing I know about is Starfleet Academy opening at the Star Trek experience. That, or one of the Star Trek play by email RPs out there, which isn't live, but is the next best thing. It's how I deal with my mental need to be in the 24th century. XD

In the early 1970s when we were kids playing Star Trek in the front yard, we didn't know we were LARPing. It was a more innocent time.

Used to many years ago. Did 2 Trek LARPS, 2 CyberPunk-style, 1 Star Wars and a 1930's-era horror LARP. That last one was the most recent and that was 13 years ago. They kind of dried up in my area but they were extremely fun at the time.

Sadly, real life is far too prevalent these days and gaming is a distant memory now.

Things have gotten way too complicated. I actually miss being a kid between mid 80's & early 90's.

The living room chairs turned backwards become helm and ops; the typwriter was the transporter console, and the sliding glass door to the porch was our viewscreen
Not to mention frequent away teams to the backyard...

I'd totally do that if I could find some fun people to do it with. In a windowless room where photography is not allowed.

No cameras? In this day and age?

Good luck

Back in the mid 70's when the neighborhood I grew up in was on the edge of urbanization. my friends and I would ride our bikes out to a new neighborhood being built. Where we got off of our bicycles was our beam down point. I was Spock (because I had a blue shirt with a black collar), and my friends were each Kirk, McCoy and Scotty. And our Scotty actually was Scottish with an accent. Since it was Summer in North Texas. Our mission was to find a house under construction that had functioning air conditioning. Or a pool with clean water.
