Bleh. Helping out a DM by playing a monster was more fun, but I still had very little understanding of what was going on.And yes, one of the girls I went with I had a crush on at the time. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />The post-Con LARP was also fun, it was a Vampire game. I just enjoyed talking and playing a somewhat confused vampire who didn't know what was going on but was intent on confusing some other people. it took place in a pub, so I had a few beers too. No real desire to go back to it.In both cases, I met some nice people, but also in both cases I met some people who were waaaay too into it...that didn't seem to be treating it as a game, more as an excuse to try and freak other people out.So, I've tried it, I've nothing against it, but it's not for me.</blockquote>
