[QUOTE="Jeph, post: 715379, member: 6738"] I love gaming. I love roleplaying, I love reading rules, I love settings, I love creating all of the above. But, for some reason, Live-Action Role Play just seems to freak me out. I know that LARPers aren't bygone hopeless social rejects who have lost themselves in favor of a fantasy world--contrarywise, two of the most vibrant personalities that I know play Live Action (mostly WW stuff). But, somehow, I get the impression that LARP is somehow 'not right' whenever I read about it, even from first-hand accounts of the players, even though I know my knee-jerk assumtions to be false. Such a paradox. Made even more möbioid is my knowledge that not five years ago, when I was but a wee nine year old, I ran around waving bamboo poles and pretending to cast spells with as much ferver, or more, as any twenty-five year old veteran role player. But still, it never ceases to be a wierd thing for me. Does anyone else feel this way? Does anyone think they might have a hint as to the source of my illogical uncomfortableness?
