[QUOTE="MonkeyDragon, post: 4944678, member: 23929"] I have indeed. I wrote a LARP. I wanted to larp, but I didn't like the rulesets that I could find online. I wanted something that was more like D&D. So I wrote the book myself. Now that my friends and I have played for the last sevenish years (one or two events a year), I'm in the middle of the second major rules revision, and it's going very well. It's d20 based, the ability scores are the same as 3.5, the skills are like a combination of skills and feats, and the combat and spells are adjusted to be played live. There's still a lot of bugs to be worked out, but it's my baby, and I love it. As far as publishing...I'm not sure. Though I think the game is fun enough and the rules, once polished, will be solid, it might be too hard to make it work with a d20 liscense and too similar to D&D to be entirely kosher. I would have to do a lot of research and whatnot, and if I DO, it will likely be just a small time thing that I'll bring a couple copies of the book to the conventions I attend as a guest, and try to convince random passersby that there is NOTHING more fun than running around in the woods whacking your friends with swords made from pool noodles and duct tape.
