I have such a hard time to take LARP seriously

[Magnificentbastard]

I played D&D and other Fantasy Pen and Paper games when I was 10 -16 and I have very fond memories spending weekends pretending to be what ever character, I wholeheartedly recommend it to any kid since I think its hugely beneficial to them.

LARPING on the other hand looks fucking awkward to me, I don't know if I should admire these people from staying true to their inner child

When I saw the thread title I expected this to be another SOA thread.

You know the chicks that do this stuff are freaky in bed. I mean, don'tcha just know it! Cobb Cobb is ambiguous. Lots of LGBT goin on there too I think.

My brother was big into some kind of LARP-ish reenactment stuff and he always said it was for the chicks. In his words, there were lots of young groupie/wenches who liked guys who knew how to "swing a sword." It was working for him so I guess I can't argue.

our neighbors at the old house were into larping. they used to go to this thing called pennsic. its was like a big medivial festival competition thing as far as i know.
they have clans and shit.

him and his buddies used to get together now and then and duel. like with wooden shields and swords. i mean really go at it. beat the fuck out of each other. blood and all.
my yard was on a hill above theirs. used to drink beer and watch them pummel each other. not much dialog acting shit. just fighting.

im not interested in participating. but it was fun to watch.

watch a neck beard at a full run smash an oak sword into a shield and the guy takes the back of his knees out with a short sword on his way past and he eats shit.

I think there's a huge difference between larping and seeing guys do stuff like this.

Beat me to it. Great song and video.

[Gvermin]

fuck yes! exactly what I thought of. Should maybe start a thread just for red fang videos.

[LeanMcLean]

Yeah as a kid I was pretty into the whole sword fighting with clubs and stuff, we'd make shields and armor and just wail on each other. It must have looked stupid as fuck but helped get out some of that pubescent anger. Same with paintball and air soft and all that.

[Braaap]

we used to call you dudes Elves; and no one does this for the chicks.

I'm going to guess the only way to make "LARPing" interesting would be to take mushrooms.
