Well, in our D&D sessions, us older men don't run around the neighborhood giggling and wacking each other with duck-taped sticks saying they are swords, while in the mean time yell out to cars "there be a triceratops!" then chase after it. Again, this is from my own experience, lol...

Re: Argellan Rulz...
That's so cool. Do you know if a character, name of Victor Sharnhurst, made it down there? He currently runs one of the best Larps in New England, name of Exile. I cannot find the URL to save my life today.
I'm sure you were told of the infamous "Hedgehog Manuever" as well. All pikes and shields and pretty formidable.
Of course, getting rolled is why I always had a set of "sleeping clothes", so I could jump up and run outside with a minimum of fuss. And when you are playing in the spring in New England, it's important to keep warm between bouts of swordplay. I spent some cold cold mornings following the big kahuna who couldn't wait for a decent hour to show my troup something important.
Now I'm missing it. CA is supposed to have a decent Larp, but I haven't found anything in WA that really held my interest. I wonder what it would take to start up a really spiffy Larp.

At one of the events in the 2001 season, a number of players from the original Harkenwood (Wildlands North) campaign came down to play. They got in pretty late on Friday night and didn't have time to really look around. Their cabin was pretty close to ours and when they got up the next morning, the first thing they saw was our two VERY large Argellan banners.
They told us later that it immediately made them feel right at home!

Afterwards, almost everyone - PC and NPCs - came over and told us what an awesome sight the "Armored Wall" of Argellan made. Since then, we fondly refer to it as the "Charge of the Argellan Brigade"!
(2) Our cabin got "Rolled" at 4:30 AM after a very full day. Normally, the NPCs don't hit us that late, but we had something they wanted! I was stripped down to my "tighty-whiteys" and, without bothering to put anything else on, pulled my chainmail over my head, slapped on my armored gauntlets and went to town.
