Is there really that much of a difference? I'm not being factious, but I think they're pretty close to one another.

Well, with LARPing, you just make a character and join in, pretty much. I mean, there's "levels", but there's nothing really keeping you from participating fully. It's the same concept as table-top games like D&D, except you actually try to physically embody your character. It's also a lot more fantasy oriented. LARPers are also quicker to admit that, hey, they're just nerds pretending to be elves, wizards, vampires, etc.

With SCA, it's partially the same in that you are physically pretending to be your character. But they strive to be 100% realistic and historically accurate -- if you mess something up, they jump your ass. There's also a strict ranking system. You start out as a peasant and can only wear peasant costumes, and you have to work your way up through the ranks by attending every week and sucking up to the higher ranked people until they promote you. Only after months/years of ass kissing do you have permission to be a character who is a lord/lady and gets to wear neat costumes, etc. As a result, the higher ranked SCA people are super full of themselves and act like they are the baddest mother fuckers in the land. I run into them all the time at RenFaire events, and they treat non-SCA renaissance costumers like they are trash, and walk around like they own the joint.

So yeah. There's a pretty big difference, both in concept and in attitude. :/

Oh, I didn't know that about SCA. I knew a few people at my work who were into that thing and I just assumed it was LARP'ing but with more attention to detail.

But I can understand the SCA attitude, walking around like they own the place and such. I've seen some of the SCA people who are in a local fencing group at the RenFaires, and I'm sure if I messed up on some name about a sword or technique they'd be all over me for that mistake hehe. Which is why I just watch and don't talk haha.
