Garb is encouraged (e.g. tunics, plain neutral pants, boots, armor, etc.) and can be historically or fantastically based. The club provides weapons for members to use, but feel free to bring your own L.A.R.P. weapon for us to check. All you have to bring is water, gloves, PPE, and an attitude for adventure!
For more information, please email us at ttu.larp.club@gmail.com
