A 'friend' is thinking about LARP..I know it provably sounds sad to a lot of people, think role model, but has any PH'er or 'friends' ever done it?

I did it for many years. A few distant friends still do it. It can be very geeky, but it isn't always - as with everything it depends on the group you go with.

I definitely found the vampire types very wet - I did fantasy (KOTS, F&H), sci-fi (think Aliens rather than Star Trek), and old-school horror, which could all be a great laugh.

It's definitely worth a try. It might not be to his taste, but he might find he enjoys it a lot.

Yep, know a few folk who do it.

It's no different to re-enactment really. Or paintball/airsoft.

Live Action Role Playing.
Comes in quite a few different varieties, mainly medieval fantasy.

I am currently Faction Logistics officer for the Gryphon Faction in the Lorien Trust system. By all means pass my mail address on (rebuilda at hotmail dot com) I will be more than happy to answer any questions he/she might have by email or on MSN.

i did it once! i really enjoyed it, but saying that, i dont think i could do it too often, it's just too nerdy
once was an experience but to actually do it again n again is not on the cards.

Anyway, they told me you could hit people as hard as you want with those rubber swords, sorry again to Paul who I knocked down n made his mouth bleed.

I've done quite a bit in the past. It's a giggle so why not. I was quite good at the combat, funnily enough. "Buying" healing potions was good - the healer always used peach schnapps. drunk Oddly, my fighting skills weren't so good after "healing". I'm sure that is not how it happens in Middle Earth!

So you've stopped doing something you really enjoy just because you don't like how people perceive it even though it is legal, moral and healthy for you (running around woods)?
