Medieval Fantasy

The classic LARP: foam battles, castles, taverns, and weekend campaigns in a world of swords and spells.

Medieval Fantasy Kit

Built for a weekend campaign: a weapon that passes inspection, armor layers that survive weather, and the carry gear that keeps the modern world hidden.

1

Basic Garb Set (Tunic, Pants, Belt)

The foundation under everything else: a plain tunic and trousers in period colors that read as 'not modern' at twenty paces.

What to look for: Earth tones and natural fabrics. Avoid printed logos and bright synthetics. One good set beats three flimsy ones.

Latex LARP Sword

The realistic-looking sword for light-touch and theater games: molded latex over a flexible core, painted like real steel.

What to look for: A length that suits your height and fighting style. Budget for silicone maintenance spray; latex dries out without it. Most combat games require latex weapons to pass a safety check.

Leather Armor (Cuirass and Bracers)

Molded leather torso armor and bracers: lighter than mail, quieter, and the rogue or ranger look in one purchase.

What to look for: Real leather (even thin) outlasts faux for LARP use. Adjustable straps matter more than decoration; you will wear it for ten hours.

Belt, Pouch and Sword Frog Set

A wide belt carries your pouch (phone, wallet, game coins), your weapon frog, and half your character's silhouette.

What to look for: Leather or heavy faux with metal fittings. The pouch should fit a phone without looking modern from the front.

Medieval Style Boots

Period-looking footwear with modern soles, because LARP fields are mud, roots, and gravel, not castle floors.

What to look for: Real tread and ankle support dressed as period boots. Never fight in flat costume shoes; ankles are the top LARP injury.

Potion Bottle Set

Small corked bottles for healers, alchemists, and anyone whose character sells miracles. Fill with colored water or leave empty as props.

What to look for: Glass looks best; plastic survives combat games. Corks that actually seal save your pouch.

Foam Boffer Sword

The workhorse of full-contact battle games: a padded core sword built to be swung hard and safely.

What to look for: Thick, even padding and a thrust-safe tip, and always check your game's minimum padding and length rules before buying.

Foam LARP Shield

A padded shield that takes hits all weekend, from simple rounds to painted heater shields with house colors.

What to look for: Foam construction for battle games (wood cores are banned at many). Check the strap setup suits your arm and style.

LARP Bow and Foam-Tipped Arrows

Archery is real in LARP, with low-draw bows and padded arrows that get inspected one by one.

What to look for: Draw weight at or under your game's cap (often 30 lbs at 28 inches) and arrows with proper padded heads. Arrows are consumables; buy spares.

Foam Spear and Polearms

Reach wins battles: a padded spear or glaive lets a new player contribute from the second rank on day one.

What to look for: Generous padding on the head and a flexible shaft. Confirm your game allows two-handed polearms and their length limits.

Chainmail Shirt

Real interlinked rings: the heaviest, most satisfying armor a fantasy fighter can wear, and it reads as armor in every game system.

What to look for: Aluminum for wearable weight (steel looks great and weighs 20+ lbs). Riveted rings survive combat better than butted. Size up so it fits over a gambeson.

Gambeson (Padded Armor Jacket)

The padded jacket worn under mail and plate, and honest armor on its own. Also the warmest layer you own at a cold night game.

What to look for: Natural fiber padding breathes better than polyester fill. It should fit like a jacket you can fight in, not a coat.

Hooded Cloak

Instant character: a heavy hooded cloak covers modern clothes, keeps off rain, and makes every entrance better.

What to look for: Wool or wool-look fabric with real weight; the cheap shiny costume cloaks tear and tangle. A clasp beats a ribbon tie.

Elf Ears and Ear Prosthetics

Latex ear tips turn a human into an elf, alien, or goblin in two minutes, and they photograph brilliantly.

What to look for: Skin-tone match matters more than length. Budget for spirit gum and remover, sold separately in most kits.

SFX Makeup Basics Kit

Scar wax, fake blood, bruise wheels, and dirt: the difference between a costume and a character who has lived a life.

What to look for: A small kit with remover included. Test everything on your arm before event day; adhesives and latex cause reactions in some people.

Character Wig

A wig is the fastest full-character change there is: color and silhouette before a word is spoken.

What to look for: Heat-resistant fiber survives styling and sweat better. A wig cap underneath is not optional at a weekend event.

LED Candles and Lanterns

Flame without fire: most venues ban open flame, so the tavern, the seance, and the wasteland camp all run on warm LED light.

What to look for: Warm color temperature (not blue-white) and long battery life. Lanterns with a dimmer set a scene better than bright ones.

Metal Coin Props (In-Game Currency)

A pouch of weighty metal coins makes every bribe, bet, and bar tab feel real, and many games let you bring your own.

What to look for: Check your game's currency rules first. Mixed denominations in one set read better on a table than fifty identical coins.

Leather Satchel and Messenger Bags

An in-character bag for the modern necessities: it hides the phone, the snacks, and the spare batteries inside the fiction.

What to look for: A flap closure (no visible zippers or logos) and a strap that survives a full day on your shoulder.
