[QUOTE="jester47, post: 717988, member: 2238"] Sorry Tsyr, I was simply talking about the time and money commitment involved from my personal experience. I am not attacking larpers or meaning to insinuate that they are escapist or carry another identity. I won't play non-boffer because I get bored. And to do boffer right (as I understand it) involves a huge ammount of time and money that I no longer desire to invest because I get the same things from other activities now. That is what I meant about leading another life: I would need another life to get the time to do it right (in my mind) as other things have a greater priority and I want to spend time doing what I am interested in. I DO have time to lookover some notes and roll up a few stats for my twice a month tabletop game. And D&D is somthing I love to play. Prep takes about an hour and the game takes four. A little longer if I am making somthing whole cloth. That I can fit in. :) So do you understand that I was not makeing an attack at you or anyone else who larps? Yes, I DO find it to be kind of silly. But any pastime (such as mountain climbing) is open to that accusation. If LARPing is how you spend time with your friends and you enjoy it, more power too ya! Go for it. Just because I say I don't do it does not mean I disapprove. It just is not somthing that interests me anymore. But I can see how my statement got interpreted as a disparaging remark. peace? Aaron. [/QUOTE]
