Where the hell is my SWORD?
Grimey Drawer
This thread interests/scares me because I just got into a WOD LARP and actually had some fun the first time I went. Some of the people are definitely weird about it, but there were some pretty nice cool people as well. I'm looking forward to doing it again, but I would never want to become a lifer or anything like that it sounds horrible. Any obvious warning signs to be on the lookout for?

I'm starting to think just going to LARPs high as gently caress is a great idea.

It was all sheet-based. I never saw anyone with a real martial-arts background LARP. I DID see lots and lots of roly-poly sweatbutts who would try to one-up each other by talking about their extensive fight training.

Oh! Oh! There was also something called 'Brazilian Rules', which meant actually using out-of-character physical fighting to settle an issue. Allegedly, a LARP down in Brazil had players beat a guy to death over something in-character. Became the stuff of legend. No idea if it's true.

That sounds like the best possible solution.
