Fools and Heroes (F&H) is a UK based medieval fantasy Live Action
Role-playing (LRP/LARP) system. This means we dress up in
medieval/fantasy costume and run about in the woods pretending to be
Heroes or Villains. The campaign world is fairly standard medieval
fantasy; if you have played or read Dungeons & Dragons, Tolkein or
Warhammer you will be familiar with the basic scenario. There are many
Gods, magic, guilds and monsters; these help or plague the adventurers.
A normal adventure day is split into two halves, for one half you will
play your player character (PC) and generally take part in a mission to
perform a task. During the other half you will play monsters or
non-player characters (NPC's) who either interact or attack the player
characters. A referee designs the missions and oversees the rules of the
game. Combat is done in Live Action with latex (foam & rubber) full size
weaponry so you have to physically attack other players!
This is the website for the Leeds branch of F&H, but there are
braches dotted around all over the country, more details of the other
branches can be found at
http://www.visit-ithron.com along with plenty of links you might
find useful.
Due to insurance concerns, F&H operates an over 18's only policy,
though we can relax this in the case of 16 year olds who come along with
an over 18 sponsor. Please feel free to get in touch if you need to ask
any questions.
