To create and facilitate a LARP (Live Action Role Play) system designed for children.
Goals
Forest Quest's main focus is to encourage children from the age of 5 years-old and up to participate in outdoor activities, with the emphasis on role-play and imagination.
Many of the activities require physical and mental skills, as well as, the encouragement to further develop motor-control and problem-solving.
Peer-building is an important benefit of participation.
Children AND adults are encouraged to use their imagination. This can include (But is not limited to) costumes, character development, and even props.
What is LARP?
Live Action Role Play is when a group of people use an established gaming-system to act, or "Role-play" their favourite heroes.
Players physically act out their characters' actions in a fictional setting while interacting with each other. Players actions determine the outcome of the game by solving puzzles or combat.
Event arrangers or referees are sometimes called "Gamemasters", and they decide the setting and rules to facilitate play, as well as, ensure the safety of participants.
Many who participate in LARP choose to dress up in garb that resembles their character. Not only does this help to stay in character, but it encourages others to do so as well. After all, who doesn't enjoy dressing up as your favourite hero and acting out their dreams?
Based in a medieval setting.
Three classes of players; Warrior, Cleric, Wizard
Foam boffers and foam spell-balls are used for combat.
A successful "Hit" is determined by an "Audible pop" combat system.
Scheduled events consist of questing, weapon practice, and/or combat games.
Why LARP?
Imagination is a child's most powerful asset in life. Most LARPs are intended as games for entertainment, and while some enjoyable aspects of the game can include story creation and overcoming obstacles, the benefits of imaginative-play are numerous!
Foam Boffer
A padded, mock weapon to simulate handheld combat.
Audible Pop
Soft weapon strike. resulting in an audible sound, or "pop". Forest Quest does NOT allow any strikes harder than audible pop for safety reasons.
Combat System
NO head shots!
A torso hit is immediate death.
A hit to a limb (Leg / arm) results in loss of that limb. Any combination of two limbs results in death.
Death in LARP
Character deaths will be determined before each game starts, depending on the type of game being played, EG: All players get 3 lives / No free lives and Clerics must heal.
Character Classes
There are three types of classes in Forest Quest; Warrior, Wizard, and Cleric. Warriors can use any weapon. Wizards can only use staves and daggers, however, they get to cast spells. Clerics are limited to blunt weapons, but can heal other players and raise the dead.
Levels
Each time a player attends they sign in. Every 5 (FIVE) signatures will LEVEL a CLASS. When players sign in they will indicate what class they are playing for that day. ONLY the class that is registered for that day will be counted.
1-5 = Level 1
6 - 10 = Level 2
11-15 = Level 3
16 - 20 = Level 4
20+ = Level 5
