[QUOTE="Greybar, post: 715789, member: 4938"] re: boffer LARPs There is something really fun about not just being in character, but actively having to decide if you're willing to take that extra step into a lunge. Not "Hmm, I could move one square to be in a better place but I would draw an AoO from that ogre" but "If I press him harder then I might have a foam-wrapped piece of PVC smacked upside my head" and "something emerges from the cornrows, wrapped in shadows but it seems to carry a weapon" really doesn't convey what it is like to actually see a number of figures you can barely make out in the moonlight coming between those cornrows with 6-foot weapons pointed in your direction. There's an involuntary back-step you do as you lower a weapon into a guard that you don't get from "roll initiative" two bits John [/QUOTE]
