I used to LARP in high school (NERO.) I occasionally think it might be fun to go back and play for an occasional weekend, but something in the back of my mind has always said "that's probably not a good idea." I miss some of the people, I miss the fun parts, but all of the stuff about lifers really rings true. The one I went to did have a lot of people who played the game one weekend a month, maybe posted a few messages a week in-character and out-of-character on the forum to help set up plot for the next time, and went about their lives the rest of the time, but there were also the ones who spent the week before in costume to get into character, the non-human characters who obviously picked the cat-person race because they were furries. If I decide I want to nerd out and roleplay for fun, I would get together with some friends who run tabletop D&D games and get in on a game night with them. The immersion of costume and character of LARPing is fun, but the culture can't escape the toxicity of the lifers mentioned in these stories. Thank you for that reminder of why I'm not going to go back and give it a chance. Dacheat posted:6. Apparently there's a HUGE overlap in the local BDSM community to the LARP community, still cant figure this one out.
