It has just occurred to me that I never blogged about our experience with Hynafol and our first time LARPing last fall. So, let's do that but also let's go ahead and talk a little bit more about the rabbit hold that LARPing has become for both Megan and myself.
Last fall, for our 15th wedding anniversary Megan and I decided to try LARPing for the first time and we went all in for a week long experience down in Texas at an event called Hynafol. I can't really type out how amazing and incredible this event was, but let me just say that we experienced everything rom a nighttime monster hunt, a mysterious conversation with a druid high priest, a masquerade ball, a burlesque show, questing, battle, and most of all camaraderie.
Something magical happened when new went to Hynafol. We didn't just goto an event and have a good time. We instantly made new friends with the people in our house. Our post Hynafol participation has been even more incredible than the event itself. We regularly hang out with our house members now, almost on a weekly basis. We're involved in the larger discussions of the game and things that are occurring in the world on a regular basis. I'm basically on Discord daily now, chatting with our friends and checking in on what the latest is for our house. On top of all of this, I don't know anyone's real world name. We all know each outer only has our characters in the game, almost as how we perhaps one to me.
