[QUOTE="Andor of the Blade, post: 325134, member: 1597"] I've been playing D&D for close to 20 years. I have also LARPed on many occassions. I have enjoyed both immensely. My first LARPing was a variant of NERO, started and run by some university students in Toronto. My wife (girlfriend at the time) and I would drive to Toronto (from Ottawa about 4.5 hours) seven or eight times a year to play. Unfortunately, they started graduating and couldn't continue running the game. Now that I've got a family, it is much harder to get away for an entire weekend (as opposed to a few hours for a PnP game). The only real difference I've seen between LARPers and non-LARPers in general, was that LARPers tend to be in better physical condition than non-LARPers. I have never LARPed at a WW or Vampire game, so I can't speak of them. IMO comparing LARPers to non-LARPers is only fair if the games they play are similar (i.e., DnD is similar to NERO LARPing). If you want to compare Vampire LARPers, you need to compare them to Vampire PnP players. [/QUOTE]
