    20/20 Profile of Larping

    This is a story 20/20 New Zealand did about larping a few years back. 20/20 did a good job of not making it look like a bunch of losers, yet while being completely honest that it is a strange hobby and making it look interesting and fun. Also, can I just say, running 18 different games in 2 days...

    Improving in-game atmosphere

    It's not actually telescoping, it's just squishy and you can leave extra room in the spear head so that it has more room to collapse when it strikes. I would like to get my hands on one to see if it would pass (but not enough to spend $75 of my own money on it).

    Improving in-game atmosphere

    I'm going to repeat what several others have said. Modern food packaging, get rid of it. My PC always carries dried meat with him, rather than keeping a package of jerky with me, I wrap it in a piece of his writing paper (and stuff it in my boot, but that's unrelated). Clay mugs can be found at...

    Blurring the line

    Why do I have the feeling this is aimed at me? Having NPC's that return and build relationships with the players definitely helps with players treating them more like PC's. It also helps world building and establishing that "this is Landfall" versus "this is a town you've been in dozens of...

    Traps, dammit!!! I want more.

    I have an endless supply of various shaped open cell from my work and you have just given me an idea for it. Bwahahaha. We ran a mod a while back that was trappish. The players had to move a key along a maze of string that had bells hung on it. If they rang a bell, undead spawned. Best part of...

    Actual Larp Insurance!

    I'll post the LARP insurance brochure when I can get on my other computer, the LARP insurance is a new offering for them, but they seemed pretty flexible when I brought up issues such as having insurance for 70 people and Player Jim-Bob bringing 20 new players with him to the event. Edit...

    Actual Larp Insurance!

    While researching insurance for our chapter, I finally found a site that has actually geared a policy towards LARP groups, so I thought I would share it. The company is F Dean of California (their other branches on the E. Coast may offer it as well) and their rates are pretty reasonable, $5 a...

    January Event 2012!!! (Three-Day!!)

    NPC's must let plot know by October 28? I like how you think, one of them is bound to invent a time machine to save that $5!

    December Event NPCs

    If you will be partaking in the NPC's meal plan and are not on the list of known NPC's, let us know as soon as possible so that we can buy food. Chas, Amy and Evan, I am counting you as confirmed, let me know if you are not wanting to take place in the meal plan.

    Is powergaming bad?

    Which, by the way was great. Seriously, my brother and I were just talking about the delicious apple cake you had made at an event about a year ago. We do greatly appreciate all of our wonderful cooks, because otherwise we'd be eating cup noodles and hot pockets all weekend.

    Not from Andar

    Also forgot to say, I am not slave, I have papers to say this. So why can I not teach? I am not good teacher, but if I say I will teach, then I should be able to teach, since I am freeman. Pherak

    Not from Andar

    Am not trying to be trouble, but am confused. Are the people in Tarnsdale the slaves of Elder and Avaran? If people are not slaves, then why do they not choose what to learn? If peoples are slaves, then learning more skills would be very good for Avaran and Elder. Part of town we sleep in now...

    New Player

    You can, however, use any waylay safe phys-rep for waylaying, whether it is tagged or not (which is what I believe Ashe was referring to). So you could make, for example, an open cell Sir Iftikhaar doll (patent pending) and if it is waylay safe, then you can knock people out to your hearts...

    make up help?

    My best advice is to find a local theater/costume shop, most will let you sample the different colors of makeup to find the right shade/color combination you're looking for. As far as brands, I'll just repeat what everyone else has said, Ben Nye and Mehron. I have Ben Nye grease paints that I...

    Ride Available From PDX (Westside)

    Sorry, Sean and Gavin have spoken for the space. 5 people could squeeze in, but it would be tight and I don't think we could fit 5 peoples worth of gear in the back.
