In the midst of all the meeting of new friends, it was wonderful to reconnect with an old one. deza, love looks good on you. We will have to do this much more often!

And in related news, I'm thinking of taking up a new hobby: LARPing. I've never gamed before, but I think I'd be good at it. Anyone got any information to share?

its fun but hard on you if you're used to sleeping more than a few hours...some of them are in session all night, some have a designated amount of time that is out of game so everyone gets at least some sleep.

Most of the Larpers I've met have a tenuous grasp of reality. But then, so can everyone else. They just seemed moreso. But I'm a sit down roleplayer, and I've never LARPed.

What is LARPing?

LARPing is less heinous than voting Republican, but more aggressively sociopathic than, say, karaoke....

It's fun and I think you would have a good time! Any particular genre or group? I've LARPed vampires, werewolves, changelings, mages, and Call of Cthulhu investigators.

I think you would have a good time--though it does depend on the group.

Ah, Nero. Actually I've heard they're a lot better in the south than up here. I don't understand their system, but then, I've never really looked at it much. A lot of larping doesn't actually include physical stuff, though Nero does. So if you fight, you may get bashed. Not sure if they have combat archery or not (the one fantasy group I larped with in Massachusetts did--it was lots o' fun!)

I know there's at least one Nero web site floating around--that's a good way to start, if you haven't looked at it already.

You'll be brilliant at it, and deza is probably one of the best teachers there is. (Shut up, people, I was talking about gaming, not that.)

Another good choice for gently introducing you to the joy of gaming is mine and Deza's friend Marie. She runs a hell of a splendid AD&D game, which rumor has it that Deza will be joining soon. Come on, sit in on a session, or just dive right in and play. I foresee you becoming a lifelong gamer and loving it. :-)

I've got a cubic butt-ton of experience in the Atlanta LARP scene. IM me and we'll chat.
