Assign Characters to Players - LarpManager

LarpManager helps you assign characters to players by collecting their preferences and running an algorithm that finds the most optimal distribution, maximizing satisfaction for everyone.


Step 1 – Create the Event

Enable the Characters and Casting features. This allows you to define characters for the event and use the casting algorithm.

Step 2 – Configure the Event

Set up the casting configuration. Define the minimum and maximum number of preferences each player can submit.

Step 3 – Test Player View

Register for the event as a test player. After registration, verify that you can submit character preferences.

Step 4 – Run the Casting Algorithm

As an organizer, review the submitted preferences. Validate them and block any assignments that are not possible (e.g., due to safety or content restrictions).

Step 5 – Refine and Re-run

Re-run the algorithm as many times as needed until the result is satisfactory.

Step 6 – Finalize Assignments

When satisfied with the outcome, confirm and publish the assignments. Characters will be officially assigned to players.
