Live Action Role Playing..

And...

Check it out...

So who does this? I know your out there. I would think role playing UT2K3 would be pretty cool. We could make paper rockets and guns and fling them around at people in the park. We would wear skin tight pants and we could play CTF or DM games!!! I wanna dress like Logue, if you guys get together and do this. I call first dibs!

:D

Well, you could kinda say that CTF Paintballing is like UT, but other then that IDK. Sure it would be fun to beat the sh!t out of my friend with some fake sword once in a while, but not like roleplaying...i wouldnt be like *I cast super lightning bolt spell!*

The same ones who have never missed a Renaissance festival and have multiple outfits so they don't wear the same thing every year?

I clicked on that lightning bolt! video on my desktop after I'd forgotten I downloaded it. It was kinda trippy. "Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt!"

I'm not sure what group that lightning bolt video was from...at first I thought AMTGARD, but for lightning bolt you have to say it 5x per ball. Generally speaking they're not ping pong balls, they're raquetballs covered by cf1240 packing foam. :cool:

I've done AMTGARD, Mind's Eye (White Wolf stuff), and SCA (although it's more historic recreation than LARP). Mind's Eye is really just an excuse for sex (as are most goth pasttimes). SCA is fun, but since it's purely historic there's not much 'fantasy' aspect. AMTGARD is pretty good, but generally attracts rednecks and stoners and is pretty much nearing the end of it's useful life I think. I've read about some others, but so far none in my region so I haven't got any first hand accounts of them.

While there's certainly a 'lame' aspect to such groups, I challenge anyone to sit down and design a system that's better to accomplish the goals. American liability laws, cost, and other factors make it a real challenge to balance fun with function. As for the genre itself, that's purely personal taste. I've actually known people that think motorcrosses are in some way interesting. I've seen crowds at monster truck rally's. *boggle* Millions a year spent on scrapbooking. Sports, nuff said. To me these have to be the ultimate in stupidity, but that's just me. I'm glad everyone can have hobbies that interest them.

I wouldn't mind doing a pen and paper RPG type thing...but live action brings you down to a whole other level of lameness ;)

:cool:

One word of warning to all such people who might ever actually do something like this: Even when we dress medieval, many of us still have our concealed weapon on us and your suggestion is a good way to get someone shot and killed. Just a little safety tip is all. :cool:

It's hilarious that people with thousands upon thousands of posts on a message board think that others are pathetic for how they spend their time.

An old boss of mine used to do this.

He would also expose himself to us in the back room and bought another co worker penis shaped gummies for the guys birthday and he talked about his gay experimentation back in college.

Yup.

No wonder I am so messed up.
