Does anyone have a set-up or rules to LARP Shadowrun or suggestable and useful way to run it as a LARP?

Do legwork like you would a Mind's Eye Theater LARP, then go to a warehouse or other secure space (that you have legit access to, of course!) and use a combination of Airsoft and SCA-style sword-fighting for the runs?

I had found a larp that uses airsoft and boffers called Wastelands.  The online rule book looked pretty decent, but I never got into it myself.

Just don't screw up and do what these guys did

Some friends of mine did a small SR live campaign a few years bag. I will try a hear how they did it and get back to you.

Oh, and please, please don't mention MET. That just makes me extremely sad

It's not very conducive to a party-style game, but I usually organize LARPs for one player for their birthday. I recruit actors and locations, set meets at nightclubs, and have a designated portion with paintballs or foam larp weapons. I know a lot of people in the costuming, theatre and gaming scene, so it usually goes for about two hours and involves hacking a system/stealing a commlink (easier than ever with smartphones and all their apps), a shootout, a B/E into a location, and even a simulated car chase once (I contacted local law enforcement and got authorization for live-theatre displays, as well as the combat scenes.)

The most important thing, more than it being entertaining, is that it be safe. Always safe.

Depending on your view, nerf guns might be better than airsoft - cheaper and safer.

A little paint and they look badass, but the bright colors are something the police will appreciate.

Every year at Gencon Catalyst does a LARP for Shadowrun. Well it is a mixed LARP and tabletop called the scramble. It has a lot of players that come back year after year, but I'm not sure on how they run the rules of interaction for it.

That sounds like an awesome birthday, and would love to see how that went down. O.O'!!!

Too bad i'll never know. xD

Some of my players and fellow GMs in the Chicago area are insisting we start an actual company to host LARPs, since they're getting popular and we charge so little. I'll see about filming one and posting it sometime, if you'd like to see. If you're in the Chicago area, maybe you'll be able to join us sometime.

Beyond that, I always put big ups to friends with nerf weapons, basic costumes, and a big ol' nature park to play in. I did a Fallout LARP some years back... oh, that was a LOT of fun!
