Lol whats whit LARP dudes

brb Protecting virginity
brb Peterpan syndrome
brb Schizo
brb Being on psychedelics
brb Living in poverty, so you can't buy D'n'D or a decent PC to roleplay on

SRS though? Whats the appeal to LARP. I have some bizzare interests but I find Larping on the same level of weird as the Furry Fandom *******s.

I don't know, looks like it could be a lot of fun in all honesty.

There's a group that does it pretty seriously apparently, but they're located in Cleveland and I'm in Columbus. I'm not going to drive that far to go to their meetings/practices/whatever. They also go to and participate in the Pennsic which sounds awesome and like a lot of fun. The guy who runs it will outfit you for free too.

This. LARPing always seemed fuking cool to me. Going out to the wilderness with your clan, setting up a medieval camp, everyone has a role. This is only from what I've heard. Plan out military strategies. Attack in the night. I don't know, fuk. Why do you judge? Just a bunch of dudes who are passionate about something, coming together to have a good time.

By the way, I've met lots of girls that are into LARPing. I've been invited by a couple I know, but I couldn't pull the trigger. I was gonna join as the brewmaster and tavern owner - 100% serious. I've been brewing beer for years, so I was going to brew a big batch of old ale, put it in a keg, and roll it on out to the camp. Erect a makeshift pub, and just act like a tavern owner from 1250. Simultaneously, I would have also been the bard. I've been playing and writing music for over half my life.

It's basically like a big camping trip with a medieval fantasy aspect to it. I love medieval stuff. I romanticize that awful garbage era of human history way too much.

*Use half the roll to wipe after a poo crew*
*Fart in the gym and blame rotten smell on faulty ventilation crew*
*Fart at home and blame it on the dog crew*
*Watch neutron-star density poop mock me as water flushes around it and it stays put crew*
*Drive 2 minutes in the summer and back of shirt gets completely wet crew*
*Coffee black as midnight on a moonless night crew*
*Fat shame my cat on a daily basis crew*

It's one of the weirdest things I've witnessed, but hey whatever makes them happy

Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit softly.

I LARPed in college. A lot of the people who did it were actors who enjoyed the improvisational nature of it--it's like being in character for a whole weekend, plus lots of exercise (running around hitting each other with foam weapons). Really enjoyable tbh, wish I still lived near my LARP group.

There was a Star Wars LARP that my friend went to. Pretty much said he got hammered drunk and proceeded to beat the chit out of people with a light saber.
