Wompem is a Boffer group that a bunch of people in my area started. Its one of the easiest games to play, in my opinion.


Object of Game:
-Get your opponent to drop their weapon
-Break opponents weapon[rarely happens]
-Have opponent submit to pain
-Knock opponent to the ground


Rules[pretty simple]:
-You are out when: [see above]
-No groin or headshots
-Any armor is allowed, hockey pads to plate mail, though hockey pads are lighter


Weapons:
-The basic wompem stick is a PVC core, -enough- padding so it stings but doesnt hurt you too badly, and duct tape.
-If you can make it, its legal, though hooking weapons[scythes, sickles, kamas, etc] don't work well
-Only PVC cores are allowed

And thats pretty much the basics. Really fun game, you can really go all out on this. Not many restrictions, so you can really just run with it. Good ol' fashion beating the s**t out of your friends.

Edit: Here are some weapons we use. Keep in mind, the really skinny swords]there are 3, 2 are together with black tape, one is just plain silver] are illegal. They were just thrown in there/

The weapons look a lot like how NERO weapons are (aka: the skinniness, roundness, and duct tape).
Sounds pretty cool though.

England is more focused on roleplaying than combat but when it comes to combat it's indepth politcal and violent

We just goof off and beat the s**t out of each other. Its a nice break from all the rules and regulations of Larping.

Are you really trying to hurt each other??. I don't get this at all. In Sweden, "boffer" do not exist. I've never been fighting even though i've been an active larper for about five years. Sure, i've been holding a weapon but never used it more than for threat.
What's so interesting about hitting someone else until they fall??

And what about larp having too many restrictions? We have no rules other than "play as a normal human would react to a normal blade"
Our larp is done as real as possible. If you are hit with force, you are down. No one can for real continue fighting after being struck by a sword. Even if it is your left arm it will start bleeding a lot and hurt as hell if it was for real.
You are down, and mostly dead if not anyone with medical knowledge comes and helps very soon afterwards. Than your wounds gets makeup on so it will look true. Mostly, you can't use that limb for the rest of the larp and will most likely be spending a lot of time in bed.

I guess we value roleplaying and intriguing a lot more. Swedish larps are always aiming to really crate that fantasy world we all dream of. There are fights but just as real leaders would you never send your troupe into a battle unless you've tried to negotiate. They mostly take good care of there men and make sure to never take to much casualties on unnecessary things.
Playing a soldier has never involved any real fights for me....

It isn't a larp. We aren't roleplaying. We are just having fun. It is a simple boffer game. This is just an escape from the rules. Just a really easy game to throw together. Its a fun afternoon. An alternative. Simple as that.
