TMA vs LARPing

**Anna Kovacs** · Posted On: 6/28/2006 10:30am

I figure when people are like that it's because they're just culturually LARPing. IE, they take up karate and all the sudden they're obessed with Japan and Samurai, etc

The big girl weighed in at circa 330, not for sure exactly how much because the scale was maxed out.

I read the concept for the game like a year ago or whenever it was that she first showed me and it really does look like a total blast. Also, now that I know how easy it is to scare Kat (sometimes when we're in bed I'll start acting like a monster and it'll totally freak her out) I think the game would be even more hilariously awesome. The only catch is that to be really fun the game requires a LOT of people, a lot of cluttered land (we were planning to use Kat's granny's land back in Tennessee) and airsoft guns which are rather pricey.

Well, if someone wants to help me get down there from all the way up near Toledo i'll be happy to join in.

Also: in my D20: Modern Corebook (using the expansion 'Urban Arcana') if I lose a dice roll against one of my freinds, instead of a saving through can I just armbar and/or triangle choke them and say that it counters them? Would that be LARPing too?

It depends on how much gin I've had before running the game.

What kind of monster? Traditional vampire? Werewolf? Fankenstein.....

Dont tell me you attach a couple of bolts to your neck, paint your skin green and go around calling her "Igor?".

Ok..... now I've got an incredibly funny image stuck in my head.

Or is is monster in the figurative sense. IE. Hogging all the blankets?

Sorry to triple post, was meaning to ask. What did you weigh in at for that match?

sometimes I'll act like a zombie, sometimes I'll act like the Creeper from Jeepers Creepers, sometimes I'll just start biting her, sometimes it's a combination of the three.

Oh! I get it.... sorry I'm a little slow on the uptake! A whole lot of references and stuff suddenly make sense ;)

I sometimes dress up as a sasquatch for a larf and am also planning a lochness monster hoax
