there's a big diff in larping and dagorhir.

"Dagorhir is the oldest larping organization"
-Renaissance Magazine Vol 1 #3, Issue #3


-Dagorhir Battle Games are many things to many people. Dagorhir combines fast-paced full-contact combat simulation with elements of live-action-role-playing.   i.e.: LARPING!!   


I for one cannot wait to see some of the clips from your epic battle scenes in medieval..

New England!

oofa, they seem a little too up tight.  Seems like the dagohir folks a faster and looser with what you can do...

SCA is absurdly uptight.  With an average BMI of 32 and the market on male pattern baldness cornered, what else have you got?

[Buckethead]

Out of curiosity, how is this much different than paintballing?

Aside from the fact that you'd be beating fellow dorks with a Nerf Battle Axe instead of leaving welts on weekend-warrior tool-bags.

go find a nail.

go find a nail.

Awe..Kni is going to 

Don't worry T.  Even though you're considering a larper lifestyle..the Duc and the Dual-sport still make you somewhat cool in my book!

When I read the title for SCA, I imagined a steampunk organization fighting Nazis riding on dinosaurs. Too bad it's not nearly that cool.

..... a steampunk organization fighting Nazis riding on dinosaurs. Too bad it's not nearly that cool.

NOTHING is that cool.  Nothing.  Except maybe



I think he'd be on the steampunk side (Jesus hates Nazis.  And Cantaloupe).  Then, out of make the beast with two backsin NOWHERE, Joe Satriani comes flying in on Pegasus playing



and shreds until all the Nazis' faces melt off like in Raiders.  Too bad Satriani wasn't Jewish.  Auschwitz wouldn't have stood a chance. 

In the larping community's defense, they're normally a really good bunch (I use the word 'normally'  hesitantly ).  I never got into it but I've had friends that were and everyone who participates is out to have a good time with very little bullshit and drama.

Hmmm... There's a small community of people that do the play fighting deal in a park weekly at Cal Poly SLO. Always thought it was kinda goofy myself but they looked like they were having fun.

I saw a group here doing this in the park.
i stopped and watch and also thought it looked like fun...but then I noticed they didnt look like they were having fun at all...they were uber-intense about it

The groups playing bicycle polo and the punk rock kickball  looked like they were having more fun (and beer )

you can be super cereal about anything you are doing. kickball included.

CAN BE but some things seem to attract a certain crowd.  people who might have nothing else serious going on, or just need something to feel important...
