[QUOTE="MonkeyDragon, post: 2313772, member: 23929"] Ahhh, LARPing. I love it so. When I wanted to gather my friends and LARP, I couldn't find a system I liked. I wanted to play D&D. So I sat down and wrote a system myself. We've now had three events, the system gets a little tighter every time, and it's all LOTS of fun. Everything is simple and easy so the non-gamers don't get confused, and it's organized so that there doesn't have to be a gamemaster or storyteller: everybody gets to play. We're cheaper than other games, too. Standard fee is 10 bucks an event, and that covers all the weapons and props. We use pvs and pool noodle boffers, have spray painted poker chips and dollar store baubles for treasure, and a collection of thrift store dishes and candle holders. Spells are little beanbags I made. The game is even d20! Every player has a d20 in a small plastic box on a string, and these are used for all the saves and checks and stuff. One of my goals for next year is to make the game OGL compliant. Should be interesting. The only problems we run into is that it's hard to find places to play, gathering enough people at any one time can be hard, and it's tough to organize all those people personally AND come up with all the story elements and plot things and make all the necessary materials for the games. Still, I think it's one of the best ideas I've ever had. [/QUOTE]
