Mmmmm, interesting! That's playing as pre-established characters, though. That's technically RPing, but LARPing is usually about creating your own character, isn't it?

But you make your own character in the southpark games, you don't play as one of the main characters

But the characters are larping. You can't make a game that literally involves larping because live action is part of the definition.

Technically speaking, almost any game with a character creation system fits that mold or you could just use a chat system.

You'd probably want something with a worldbuilder, so something like Graal (if you can still find that) might be the best bet.

No, larping is specifically about the live-action component. People will larp as established characters at times. And without the la, it's just rp. (Hence this being a joke topic.)

This was my first thought.

I guess they could make like a LARP sim. You would have to coordinate everyone's mom's dropping them off at the park, deal with rain degrading your cardboard equipment, manage the group choosing what rp system to use.

No, you generally have rpg rules and characters you make, combined with dressing up in costumes and role playing. I never got into it, but if you've ever heard of vampire the masquerade, that's a reasonably popular setting for LARPers. Friend of mine from middle school got into it. Generally game stuff is either settled through a rock paper scissors system or they actually fight with padded weapons.

South Park stick of truth has a character class unique to that game....

If you see a market for a genre that doesn't get any support, you have to do it.
