[QUOTE="Kesh, post: 716105, member: 1308"] Well, that's Vampire. :) The entire game is focused more around political intrigue than on combat. So yea, it's going to be fairly slow until someone insults someone else, or the Gm tosses a few werewolves into the game. ;) That being said, I've played a few LARP sessions. I rather enjoyed it, though I didn't get much. I'm afraid that some parts of the game are kinda off-limits. For instance, there's one group of vampires (Malkavians) who are insane. All of them. For a change of character, I chose to play a Malk suffering from severe bipolar disorder (aka Manic-Depressive Disorder). Unfortunately, I rather freaked out some other players during my manic moments. :( So, back to a Nosferatu for me... gotta love Obfuscate. :D We played at the college community center, but it was always kinda late on a Saturday night, so we didn't really bother anyone. Plus, one of the rules of the game is to not freak out non-players. In game, you're not supposed to let the humans know you're a vampire, so as part of the rules, you don't act out combat, etc., in front of people who aren't playing. And for the record, I disagree with the "if you want to act, act! If you want to play, play!" crowd. I [i]am[/i] playing, and who doesn't do at least a little acting in tabletop?
