LARP - LARPing (Live Action Role Playing)

Hi, I'm Brian and I'm a LARPer.

Just curious if anyone else LARPs?
Or if anyone has any comments or questions about LARPs? I have actually help run fantasy medeival LARPs and know about that aspect of LARPs.

We didn't have costumes then but we made foam swords out of PVC pipes and bed foam. Me and my friends held tournaments. We got the idea from a LARP website.

We did regular one on one sword fights, group sword fights, and even skateboard jousting.

Some friends and I did the same thing, but I never would have considered it live action role playing.
What is involved in your LARP?

I LARP through this group:

Fun stuff. And only smelly LARPers give the geeks a bad name. You are not a true geek until you have LARPed!

Aren't LARPing and Moshing basically the same thing?
