[QUOTE="jester47, post: 717211, member: 2238"] [b]Re: Bothered about LARPs[/b] North cali provisional hugh? Sounds like a badly run weapons practice. (and an attempt to score with chicks) From what I can see they have been in the provisional staus since 1997. As for hitting you and shouting numbers, there is a thing they called "machine gun" in dallas. It was when dome one hit you five times fast and said "55555" Such attacks were delared not to count as no sword would do anything to anyone if weilded that way. They reequired good solid swings and not flicks of the wrist. From your description, you never got to experience the RP element. But like you, I agree that if it is not desturbing it is sort of silly. I have changed a lot since then and I probably would not go back. I'm into D&D for the stories. If I want to swordfight I will take up fencing and Kendo. I think I would get more out of it. I have a life to live and I dont need to live another. The group I was with (Dallas) was a group of mostly older (late 20's and 30's) people that had moved down from Colorado when some software co. moved to dallas. LARPing seemed different then. It was before the WoD larping took off and I think that really spoiled it. Then again I was like 14 or somthing so it seemed like somthing fun to do. This group was not based around a college populaion so it was pretty stable. The groups I am familiar with and would recommend are any IFGS non-provisional chapter. Especially: Norman OK. Denver CO. Dallas TX. Some of the provisional chapters are ok. My suggestin is to check people out. Dont go for the fighting right away. Just hang out and talk. This is all based on info gathered on or about 1993. So things could be different now. But I see a lot of the same names on the webpages so I think they might still be good. Well so much for this thread. Aaron. [/QUOTE]
