The only thing that cosplay and LARP have in common is the use of costumes. Cosplay is little more than show (i.e. “dress up as [X]”), and cosplayers rarely assume the character’s persona. LARP is full-blown role-playing (i.e. “act as [X]”), and LARPers interact with others as their character.
Basically, cosplay is to LARP as costume parties are to theatre.
