Insurance
Yearly larp costs 600 insurance but it depends on a few factors. How many players and what kind of coverage you get.
Venues generally want you to have insurance. For many of them, it’s a requirement in order to rent them.
Site Rental Costs
What larps have done in the past is register as an Explorer Post to pose as a Boy Scout Chapter or as a Girl Scout group to get access to these camps at a discounted rate. Some camps can only be rented by boy scouts or charge more if you are not a boy scout organization
Some campsites charge per person rather than a flat rate for the site. NEVER RENT THESE SITES. You are incentivized to run a game with fewer NPC’s and will run a worse game. You need to be able to have an abundance of npc’s and not lose your shirt.
