* ''Series/{{Intimate}}'': Oskar and his friends Leo and Max are invited to a [=LARP=] session in the local park by the geeky son of Oskar's landlord; Oskar reluctantly agrees to go as he's about to get kicked out of his apartment. He starts getting interested in the game when he finds out the aim is to rescue a DamselInDistress, and, under the impression he'll genuinely get to spend a night with her as a reward, even wins the final duel. When he tries to take the 'maiden' home, she, the other players, and the game leader are appalled as they've worked hard to push back against the NerdsArePervs stereotype.

* ''Fanfic/AGameOfCatAndCat'': King Aquila held a number of LARP events, which [[FutureImperfect centuries later are mistaken for legendary feats]] instead of just roleplay.

* Some of the [[AllTrollsAreDifferent trolls]] in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' enjoy an "''Extreme'' Role Playing" system called FLARP (the F is for ''fatal''), which tends to have much higher risks and potential real-life consequences than normal [=LARPing=]. Most of them stopped roleplaying after couple of them had "accidents" and the game descended into a [[CycleOfRevenge downward spiral of revenge]] that left one of them [[WheelchairWoobie crippled from the waist down]], one of them [[EyeScream blind]], one of them lacking one eye and one arm, and one of them [[spoiler:a ghost. Aka dead]]. [[spoiler:Later revealed to be an odd example of GenerationXerox – most of the trolls are basically [=FLARPing=] as their own [[FamousAncestor ancestors]].]]

* In ''Literature/TheShipWho Won'' there's a clear general {{expy}} of Dungeons and Dragons in "Myths and Legends" or "M&L". [[BrainsAndBrawn Brainship-brawn team]] [[SapientShip Carialle]] and Keff started playing it to while away the time they spend in transit between planets. Carialle enjoys being the GameMaster, setting up quests, obstacles, and characters, and holographically projecting a world inside her hold for Keff to inhabit. While Keff is perfectly capable of telling that the game is fiction, he also on some level does see himself as a KnightInShiningArmor - he even stood a night-long candlelight vigil to "earn" his knighthood - and applies something of his game persona to his real life. By the time the book starts, they've been working together for fourteen years and fully see M&L as a lifestyle.
