Basic Costuming for beginning LARPers

Today we look at the three basic things you need to have in your LARPer's toolkit:

1) Trousers.
2) Shirt.
3) Shoes.

Building up from this basic requirements you can go from NPC to first level Character Player to High Level Player Character using the basic three items and adding to it.

NPC starter gear: Black trousers, White or Black Shirt (I recommend a white or off white 'Renn' or Pirate shirt, and good comfortable black ankle boots. From here you can create any NPC humanoid character with additions of minor items. NPC Monsters are a special deal and require more than just a talbard (and it's own video!)

PC first level characters: In addition to the above items of trousers, shirt, and shoes, we add a doublet vest, hat, belt, belt pouch and your weapons. This can also be used as an NPC mid-level dress (i.e. Shopkeeper, Tavern Owner, Caravan driver/boss, etc.

Higher level characters: The basic three plus addition of fancier vest or doublet (depending on time period) and accessories. With minimal additions you can step out as upper middle class or lower nobility with ease.

Additional kit for beginning larpers should include a belt, belt pouch, and individual weapons of choice.

With this in your toolkit you are ready to hit the town at Bicolline and not look like a total noob.

Thanks for watching and see you soon!
