So there is a LARP (that is, live-action role play) group starting up in my state. Trying to figure out several aspects such as; a character, character name and concepts, weaponry and equipment. This whole process is turning out to be much harder than I ever would have thought. At the moment I'm leaning towards some basic-ish ideas.

Does anyone on MLP Forums have any experience on this sort of thing? Some help would be greatly appreciated.
