Larping on abit

Larps, or Live Action Role Playing games,  are mass participant games of pretend, notmally set in a fantasy or historical setting. There are many in the UK, ranging from 10 person "parlour" larps set in grand houses, to 3 day festival larps attended by hundreds of people.
I go to "Empire", a game run by "Profound Decisions".
Me and 3000 other nerds decend on Dadford road campsite 4 times a year to eat, drink, fight, and polotic our way through a fantasy world. There is a working economy with money, resources, and services being exchanged throughout the event. My day job gives me acces to Kilns and the equipment to make slip casting moulds. So why not bring real pipes and sell them for fake money? Fake money, that for 3 days, buys food and drink.
Thus, Ralph Mottes Smokeable Pots, best pipes in the empire, was born.
The handsome bunch of micreants below are the "Happiston Volunteers". I'm the one on the right, with the straw hat.
But what's the current state of clay pipe making in the uk?​
