That's almost as freaky as clown sex. I suppose bbeck is into that as well.

Slipping a few real edged weapons into the mix would result in:

1. An instant increase in the quality of the gene pool
   
2. A particularly amusing episode of CSI
   
3. Dorkburger
   
4. All of the above

I'm at a complete loss for words...

Ace, you're making me all sweaty.

Work in Nyarlthotep, and I might just have to do you like a Viking.

Cheers,

I actually had a LARP manual when it was in its infancy, back in my high-school days. It had the odor of a good idea, but it didn't take long to figure out it's just that--a distinctive smell.

It combines the worst parts of SCA--really crappy costumes and weapons--with the worst parts of D&D--keeping track of spells and hitpoints and talking in bad English accents with people you wouldn't share a locker with.

There's little surprise that it never caught on except among the unbreedables.

Ace..with all the reposts you might as well add the Beatallica ode ("The Thing That Would Not Let It Be") to Cthulhu as well.

Rock on.

Ace? Hello Ace?

You can stop confusing me and the SCA with LARPers ANY...F***ING...TIME...NOW.

We've had this discussion before.

Awesome.

That pegged the needle on the unintended comedy-ometer.

The best moment of irony was the end, after the fight with the Kool-aid mascot/beholder, while standing under someone's mom's Christmas lights, panning over to some guy the Chess Club used to pants. One of the actors says (in all seriousness):

"COOL!"

I love that BBeck is so insistent on the distinction between LARPing and SCAing.

Meet the old dork, same as the new dork.

Priceless. Almost like the Trekkies who get really annoyed when you call them "Trekkies," insisting that you instead refer to them as "Trekkers."

What's that scritching sound I hear in the walls?

Unbelievably geeky, but ya know what? I betcha they had a blast doing it.

I love that BBeck is so insistent on the distinction between LARPing and SCAing.

Ace, I just expect you to have a little more veracity than that. Not MUCH, mind you, but a little. Or do you really not GET the differences?

Meet the old dork, same as the new dork.

Shoot, Ace, if you're going to start blurring lines this badly, count yourself in, fellow dork, because you've played DnD, the Lazy Man's LARPing. Meet the old dork, same as new dork, indeed!

Heh, Alex, Trekkies and Trekkers ARE the same. And they're fun to taunt.

I do see a difference... but it's about the same difference between D&D and GURPs.

Okay, SCA is, um, a competition of some sort. But it's still... come on, it's dorky.

You've got a little dork in you.

Would you like a little more?

Sorry, old joke, had to use it.

"I'm tiny! I'll go in!"

What? Just quoting the video, folks.

LOL@Ace.

...but it's about the same difference between D&D and GURPs.

Er, no. It's the difference between playing in a fantasy world and duplicating history. That's more than just a difference between gaming systems.

Okay, SCA is, um, a competition of some sort.

Gee whiz, Ace, I REALLY need to take you to an event. It's a LOT more than that.

But it's still... come on, it's dorky.

Oh no doubt! I embrace my Inner Dork (have you seen what "normal" people are like?), just call me one for the right reasons. That's all I ask. :)

I embrace my Inner Dork
Kegels are the best.

Holy...(falls off chair laughing).
Thanks! I thought I was a dork, but that just opened up whole levels of dorkitude I never imagined existed!

Kegels are the best.

Now that's just DIRTY. :)

ACE - When you ran from the cops, you should've said: I'm wearing boots of escape impervious to 9mm and .40 cal bullets.

I can't believe these nerds got a couple girls to be in that trainwreck.

Seems like Deep Woods Off for girls to me.
