So, the secrets out. I'm a roleplayer (no sniggering at the back please)

I generally do Loren Trust live action, and UK Masquerade live action vampire.
Plus table top Cthulhu, Mage, SLA, InNomine (not all at once) and the odd bit of AD&D.

Geeks unite!

Any one else like to own up?

bel.

I used to play white wolf changeling and garou in Reading in the UK but stopped about three years ago due to trains being a b**ch and more OOC politics than the average vampire court! I do still create characters though when I am bored. It is because of changeling that my faerie obseesion became just that!

I just aviod Larpers, having had one blithing about it while sat behind me in the Space Cruiser for TWO HOURS on the way to the Sisters of Mercy - he was left up there (thankfully as no-one in the car could stick it any more)

sympathy - you must have had one of the bad ones. If you see them again tell them to shut up!

Same with any hobby, if you don't do it then its a boring as hell.

Ran wild around the University of Victoria campus one evening with a live action version of cyberpunk. Many, many moons ago.

Nowadays, when I game, I game with dice and table. I've tried different games and I find it depends on group and gamemaster how enjoyable a time is had.
Did that last sentence make any sense at all?
More coffee indicated *wanders away*

wow taking over a thread has started a new 1 woo!!!

anyway yes i role play, i du many many table top games, and i'm joining LT LARP at the next gathering... not long to go



well my friends seem to find it funny when i tell them i'm going to be a bunny-wolf and i get to attack people with foam swords... also one of my friends has taken to using the command "by my power i fumble those trowsers" since i told her about the fumble spell in LARP... i guess i just have very strange friends

*raises a tentative hand*

I playWhite Wolf Vampire live action whenever I get dragged along by my mates and am at home (which is annoyingly not very often), quite a bit of table top stuff too. I need to hurry up and get a proper net connection so I can convince people to play MSN/IRC based roleplay games more often.

lol
at least its fumble & not "shatter"
;p

Table top AD&D, and occasionally GURPS cos my dad dont like D&D. Mmmmm... D&D...

doesn't like D&D what kind of monster is he!!! my dad let me borrow his old dice, tho he didn't use the D20 system he was on version 1 or version 2 so in the end i didn't actually use his dice but never mind

Lol... My dad is a rlly rlly good GM. He doesnt like d&D cos it confines him to one style. You ever played cyberpunk RPGs? It's fun.

But my heart will forever belong to D&D...

well i play all sorts of games... they all merge with the D&D rules, and as for cyperpunk, errrm i almost played it started character gen-ing and then we got distracted

i refer you to my earlier, and not-much-visited-any-more thread on gaming:

Games...

One thing i don't do is LARP though. I think all my mates are too embarrassed to actually act.

well i do... infact i'm going... TODAY infact i'm going... IN AN HOUR!!!

You should try it. It's fun. It's for people who wanna be in films like the Matrix and underworld but don't have the physique

Larp? Larp?!? Bah. Today I saw several; re-enactment groups. I spotted some old friends among the vikings. The upshot of my saying hello was that I'm going to be hit with steel weapons tomorrow evening.

It isn't easy being a fuzzy man.

I'm now back from my first LARP event... Lorien Trust to be exact... it was The Gathering... and i had a alot of fun ALOT of fun i really enjoyed it... but soem OOC stuff kicked off that i really need to get sorted before i can go tyo another event!!!

I enjoy homosexual furry porn...

And erm, that's it.

Mu...

that has nothing to do with LARP!!!

on a better note, hopefully soon i'll be getting pictures of me in my costume!!!

*bump*

Very quickly, my friends got me into larping pretty hardcore. We're doing Star Wars RPG, because we all love Star Wars. THat's like double the nerdiness, I know, but it's fun.

My character is a 28-year-old kahjiit named Jaeger Andross. He was born on the planet Asaenga, but during the Mandelorian wars, he and his family left for Tatooine. His race is Force-sensitive to begin with and the presence of the Jedi helped him to begin understanding the Force (or "Spirits") more. His weapons are his claws and a lightsaber he found off of a fallen Jedi.

Right now, our campaign is taking place in the Old Republic on Tatooine where I am teaming up with my tech specialist friend, a pair of Jedi and a Twi'let noblewoman to check out some shadiness going down with the Huts.

I'm such a geek. *hides*

Ah, don't worry, we're all geeks here. I don't larp, but I was in this Mordor treasure hunt thread online for a while until some power-hungry b**ch tried to take over the thread. Very Mary-Sue. Long blonde hair, special thief skills, wanted to steer the boat even though my character was the pilot and it would be a stupid thing to do in the context of the thread anyway. Curse these Mary Sue drama queens..... Now I just hang out here and watch pointless animations all over the place.

I've been invited to a vampire LARP in Raleigh by a friend. I would go, but I don't feel like running around pretending. I'd rather do that through text.

Also, it means going outside. *hiss*

i played a local system called nife edge in portsmouth for a good few years, I played Vampire Live twice before the pretention level almost killed me, i now do Curious Pastimes.

wow... i really want to do Star Wars LARP, shame i don't have the costume or the players hehe... i've done star wars table top a few times, but we haven't really got the right players for it

me and my friends have also started up a vampire Live Action, using the old Masquarade(sp?) system... and the plot line continues on from the the old national game (only from Staffords point of veiw mind, coz we're in stafford)

We don't use costumes, actually, however some of us really get into it. I have an accent that is a cross between a bad Irish accent and a bad eastern European accent and I got really into it during a battle with some Sith.

My GM is the biggest twat, though. He had my arm lobbed off and replaced with a robotic one. THe thing is that my kind shuns technology and he won't let me get a faux fur covering because he says it's "too expensive" though he never gives me a price. Now I'm indebted to a Jedi whom I distrust with a padawan I hate.

oh... still i'd love to play live action, if i'd be alowed to dress up

and it's a stero-typical thing i star wars, to have arms lopped off, their is even a website dedicated to it

Oh, dude, we encourage costuming. If I could, I'd make a costume. However, I've no sewing skills or the money to get the materials to have one of my friends make one.

Before I got the robotic one (which I still am "getting used to"), I tucked my arm into my shirt and bitched and complained about it. I get into it way more than anyone else, save our GM.

what system do you use, to my knowleadge there is no Star Wars Larping system... have you just modified the table top game?

someone did tell me there was one once, it was run kinda gathering style. and was set after the movies, the problem with it was, apparently, too many Jedi's
