Live action roleplaying, except online, and without any of the popular books. No costumes, no weirdness (for the most part) and for those of you who have read a very special choose your own story, no milfs giving bjs to members of the group, and killing those that make a sound.

Or just role playing online... Larping requires us to dress up like our characters, so in online terms, it would probably be us changing avatars or making separate accounts for our characters.

It is for the most part almos thte smae thing, as far as i understand it. I'm pretty sure that larping requires character sheets and a gm and all of that stuff, no?

OK so the way the forum games are is;You sign up for a game in a thread created by the GM(game master),then on that character sheet ,which you sign up with, lists all the stuff of your character (personality,magic abilities,physical abiliies,inventory items,etc.) After that the GM either approves your character or tells you to take off some things if they are overpowered.

 

Playing forum games is like story games where you are given a scenario but you get to choose any action you can think of and the GM says if you suceed or fail doing the action.Also when playing you can't powerplay like shooting someone and say that you automatically kill them,the GM decides that 

 

Am I missing details?

No....

LARPing is basically getting wooden swords/staffs/etc, then gathering together in person, and pretending to act out stuff. You're thinking of traditional RPs.

Not to mention (as I've said before), forum games encompass more than just RPs anyway.

Forum Game = A game played on a forum (that's it really).

I'm guessing he's really asking what a forum RP game is, which someone explained further up (though he falsely labels it as "forum games").
