LARP stands for Live Action Role Playing. Its like if you played your game of D&D..in real life. Complete with costumes, sets, etc. I havent seen one or been in one, but Ive heard things like throwing bird seed to represent a magic spell. Daijaga probably knows more on the subject than me, though ^^;

Hey no one said Role Playing had to be a Fantasy thing.

I play D&D all the time... but Larp is something I would NEVER end up doing. My D&D buddies and I have talked about it before and we all agree that Larping D&D is just tooooo damn much. We might be hardcore D&D players... but ummm not that hardcore.

Thanks Shino I will have to look them up.

To a degree even though some people may see larping as weird or strange but for me I see it as a form of acting, which is part of what I intrested in. But then again there are people who see D&D itself and its players as a group of weirdos. I have to say that I like larping better than table top becuase I can physically see what is going on and who i'm against. I 'm not knocking tabletop its just not me. Larping is more realistic to me, I can associate with it more than I can with a rolling of numbered dice.
