Description Okay so all you's guys has been asking me about this larping thing I've been up to lately. So anyway just to satiate your insatiable comments, LARP means "Live-Action Roleplaying." Ever seen Role Models? Yeah, that's LARP. It's got a pretty big stereotype of fat kids or nerds dressed up as wizards and shit running around in the woods. It turns out that while, yes, there exist fat kids dressed as wizards running around in the woods, this LARPing thing basically requires MAD SKILLS. Legit. I built of so much muscle from just a three day event. In fact I think I pulled a muscle in my leg pretty badly, I've picked up the tiiiiiiniest little limp. Not enough to see, but enough to piss me the hell off every time I notice it's there lol.
Anyway what I'm saying is props to the LARP. You've got to be fast, and strong. And you have to be a freaking math wiz to count up damage WHILE someone is smashing you with a sword. You've got armor health versus regular health and certain things only do life damage, so you've got to keep both numbers in your head simultaneously, as it's taking damage and as you're running, parrying and dodging blows.
Anyyyyyway, I specifically, play a Shai Fighter (rogue/Thief/Assassin, whatever you want to call it) named Imbri. Apprentice to Kalitas Nurrod, an Assassin marked by the Hetrial (angel) of death. I'm a Brendylian, which is basically human, except with crazy dream powers. But yeah haha, it's crazy fun. My first day they gave me a mod (Like uh.... like a mini event, i guess? urk, explanations.) and I was like UHHH oh god I just want to observe and learn I'm not ready for this ughhhh oh god what do I doooooo.
Good times. c:

YES! However, you only need to hit someone hard enough for them to know they've been hit. Idividual game rules vary by game, so I really only know Avalon's rules.

No, not really. The only thing that really hurt was when I pulled my leg because I hadn't stretched enough.

Dood! I loved hearing about all that happened and was telling all about it. She wishes we could join your LARP. It was just an amazing story that was just the whole time. Too bad we don't have teleportation devices or I'd definitely join you for the next one.

There's no way in hell LARPers are fat. With all the running they do, they get more exercise in an hour than I get in 5!

EXACTLY
I mean even the wizards are booking it.
I walked in there and I was basically astounded by the sheer amount of attractive people there.

They play on the roofs of parking garages at my university. Even they guys in wheel chairs are zooming along. I just worry that they'll get hit by cars.
