Interesting, I remember from I was young there was tons of fantasy LARPing in Russia. There was a subset of people (easily found in Youtube videos) who were into it due to some combination of making historical-looking armor and weapons, and then drinking and fighting with said armor and weapons with few rules and high probability of injury. There were also tons of people that would LARP for the story/role playing focus, with wooden swords and tennis balls for fireballs, at very, very low cost. The former derisively called them "curtain people" (занавесочники) based on their cheap-ass costumes. Isn't the whole point of LA-RP is that you RP so production values shouldn't matter?
