The only reason I even know this is because one night I left my car on main street and had to walk 4 miles back to it since I didn't want a DUI from the night before and ended up walking through the oak grove as a short cut to get back to main street. Saw these kids LARPing it up, had a good laugh. I'm all about games and shit but I'm not about to play dress up right in the center of a college campus and pretend to slay dragons.

Actually ended up living next to someone who LARPed whenever I moved into a different apartment, was a nice guy but p. weird.

There's a handful of people I know who do shit like that, right on a college campus...they're usually not pretty popular with the rest of the 'LARP community'. Alot of people don't know how to suppress their inner nerd. It's like...no one here goes around in public telling strangers how many hours they spend on EverQuest (at least I hope not).

That being said, I've doing the LARP thing for close to 12 years, most of which I've spent staffing/plot writing/developing rules. Anyone who makes fun of it is too insecure to try it or has 0 imagination.

You can't really chastise someone for being outside doing a fairly physical activity in a huge social environment, even if they are dressed like an elf throwing pretend spells at each other while getting beat up with plumbing supplies. Not all LARPers are the stereotypical 'fatass nerd'. At the game I mainly go to/staff at we have 5 ex-marines, 2 guys who just got back from Iraq recently, a state trooper (female), 2 ex-pro wrestlers (hardcore indie federation, not like WWF or WCW, but they went to Killer Kowalski's school), a handful of people in the medical field, and the lead admin spent a couple years teaching wilderness survival out west. Sure, we have a few of the standard fatbody computer geeks and the stuck up 'I'm better than you' scrawny douchebags, and from what people have noticed our game is a total anomaly because other games we go to have a majority of the stereotypical LARP nerd.

Hitting people with stuff is fun...

Wonder if you could go to a LARP deal with a broomstick, and RP as a Bloodsport person / trainer and just knock the shit out of everyone.

That's just being an asshole. It's along the same lines as using MQ2 in EQ...why ruin the fun someone else is having? Besides...the foam is easy to take off of the sword...then you're getting beaten in the face with a piece of PVC pipe by someone more than likely more skilled than you.

SCA > LARP

LOL@SCA thinking they aren't a LARP. Just about everyone I've met from the SCA is a pretentious fuckwit.

I'm assuming the pic of me is a monk that got into a nasty battle with the Cheetos Wizard.

THE BIGGEST MEAN ASS ON THE FORUM IS LARPER OMG THIS IS NEWS !!!!!!!!

There's a "guild" in my town that doesn't quite LARP, they just make their own armor/weapons and duel.

It's pretty interesting watching people from all age groups going at each other with weapons.

They were performing for the 4th o July and there was maybe a 14 year old girl beating the shit out of a 17 year old with just a staff, the 17 year old had a shield and a mace

I don't think theres anything wrong with it. You got to admitt tho the you tube vids crack you up. I think its safe to say Everquest players are more acceptable to not care as much. Considering this game is nerdy as hell. But , the Ipad users that have no idea on roleplaying games probably would despise and " Think it's gay", as a insult.
