I agree with both of you. Contact LARP involves simulated combat and is a competition. This creates natural stress reactions in people. Getting hit with something, even a boffer, can trigger a stress reaction. When we are able to contextualize it, it's easy to dismiss. When things creep in...

Re: National event pre-registration list I can't get off work. Something about a war going on. Have fun without me!

That's because you are always touching yourself inappropriately. "And stop touching yourself!" "It really is Jesus."

Don't forget to incorporate the words Dark, Doom, and Death into your name. Preferably in conjunction with Blade, Dealer, and Stalker.

Why would the Duke need a committee for his balls?

MY brother is a big fan of Fables. I've not read it. I also liked the early stories in the Books of Magic series.

Inspired by the success of Vertigo Comics, DC attempted to release a new line of science fiction comics under the Helix Comics imprint. The only comic to survive that short-lived experiment was Transmetropolitan, by Warren Ellis, when it moved to Vertigo. I'm trying to find a way to describe...

Hmm... I have this image of huge tapestries of Glorianna hanging all over the place, with all kinds of slogans, a la Communist Russia... Or Sealab 2021 under Commissar Murphy.

Sand? Sheiks? Shackles? Warriors from across the world liberating an ancient land? The possibility of a conspiracy by a bunch of power mad conquerors? I think I'm LIVING that event right now. ;)

Heh, not so much. Remember, guys, I go to units that are busy prosecuting the GWOT with extreme prejudice. Assuming we had time to game here, the demographic is waaaaaay more the guys who made fun of LARPers than LARPers themselves. We seek out fellow gamers using cryptic references and then...

More to the point, where is my Colorado chapter? I'm too busy prosecuting the Global War on Terror to start it myself! Help a brutha out!

Well, you can all send packages to this address: Dennis Higgins SOTF-C (THF) APO AE 09342 Don't worry about what to send. If I don't need it, there is ALWAYS someone who does. And I'll be at a fairly well built up area, so I don't need a lot of the hygiene items (toothpaste, baby wipes, etc)...
