Hmmm... Idea.
If I was to run a LARP that I think would benefit from having a bit of an upfront props budget, what would people think of the idea of having a £10 "buy in" or something. Basically, £10 gets you into the campaign, and then the cost on the day for each game is just for hiring the venue?
In the example I'm thinking of (one of my cyberpunky ideas), this would get together enough funds to buy a bunch of props for game-appropriate firearms and tech for those that need it. The idea would be that these could then go into a communal pool of LARP props and could carry over from game to game. It might even be worth looking at starting some form of organised "LARP club" to keep track of that kind of stuff, with one person in that club keeping a couple of crates or stuff in their shed or garage (I've already got a trunk full of bits and bobs in our shed and a huge crate in the cupboard under the stairs).
Thoughts?
