Pyromaniac: Shane’s first action in the party is to burn down the inn to kill incoming legionnaires. She eventually takes down the King by dousing herself with oil and hugging him as she lights herself on fire. | |

Kat’s is a basic, almost child-like depiction. Brittany only seen from the eyes up, the eleventh eye described as “the important thing”, Kat's protective shield spell is cast with the words "Protect thingy" and movement is almost entirely cut out except for a few jump cuts. | |

No True Scotsman | |
| LARPs: The Series (Web Video) / int_567e2f0 | comment |
No True Scotsman: Evan shows signs of this when he finds out Kat is informing on the group to Shane for her articles. When she complains and she and he are both LARPers, he complains back that he'd been in the hobby for over a decade and that she had been at it for a lot less, calling her a pretender. | |

"Rashomon"-Style | |
| LARPs: The Series (Web Video) / int_7bb1296b | comment |
"Rashomon"-Style: "Retcon" shows the same game session, noted to have almost caused a total party kill, from each player’s perspective Shane’s could be described as probably the most accurate view of the events. Arthur’s involved all the other characters besides himself just going through the motions of what happened, with everyone treating him with utter contempt. Kat’s is a basic, almost child-like depiction. Brittany only seen from the eyes up, the eleventh eye described as “the important thing”, Kat's protective shield spell is cast with the words "Protect thingy" and movement is almost entirely cut out except for a few jump cuts. Brittany's had every character talking in long drawn-out flowery monologues, all deep in character with great drama, with the exception of Will who, having no in-character persona to speak of, is cut off after a few words. Will’s was something out of a Coen Brothers movie with the setting, costumes and entire events changed so Biff kills the enemy with a gun. | |

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Each episode aside from the prologues is named after some LARP term. Season 2, Episode 9 only shows the episode title card at the very end, to hide a spoiler: Claudia and her steampunk friends are guest N.P.C.s and she is demanding that they help her wipe out Evan's player characters entirely. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain | |
| LARPs: The Series (Web Video) / int_acf33d00 | comment |
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Claudia plans to wipe-out the PCs of the main cast. The resulting epic, Dying Moment of Awesome-laden session thoroughly satisfies the players, and helps bring closure to some of the personal dramas that were festering throughout the season. The rest of the Steampunk group finally realise that Claudia has gone too far, and give her the cold shoulder after the game ends. And Arthur, who started the whole thing by killing Claudia's PC after she mocked him for losing his own, gets to play his beloved Noctus again in the new cyberpunk setting. It also means that Noctus actually did outlive her character, which was a major part of her gloating. He even gets to finally have his 'loser' character not only killed, but killed in a heroic manner worthy of Noctus. | |

Artistic License | |
| LARPs: The Series (Web Video) / int_dd6ce5db | comment |
Artistic License: The LARP has one GM and the same group of 3-5 players in each game, which more closely resembles the group dynamics of a Tabletop Game. A LARP of the kind shown typically has a crew of NPCs, allowing the players to meet more than one person at a time, and it's common to alternate between player and NPC between adventures. It isn't strictly speaking impossible for a LARP group to work this way, but it would be highly unusual. Although it's intended as a surprise, the finale of Season 2 has a more plausable balance between players and NPCs, due to Mia's steampunk group joining as NPCs. | |

Groin Attack: In the prologue, when Corillia believes Noctus to be mindslaved, but doesn't want to kill him, Will's solution is to shoot him in the dick. A few episodes later, when Biff is being held hostage, Noctus returns the favor. Will really likes this attack. He uses it to bring down Evan's N.P.C. in Season 2 Episode 9. | |
