    How did you find out I'm into that Chance? I only needed 3 more mana to gain Level 5 Wizard Power.

    So... there's this thing called AMPTGARD that is very similiar to this LARP. A friend of mind is very very into it. There are "levels" and abilities based on how often you go to it, etc. And last I heard they played at Memorial Park in Houston or Strawberry Park in Pasadena, so this isn't some far away thing.

    One big :rolleyes: from me.

    It's not LARP, but it's AMPTGARD, and it's basically the same thing:

    Houston (Memorial Park next to the baseball field): Saturdays 2:00 PM
    Pasadena (Strawberry Park near the pavillion): Saturdays 2:00 PM

    I know there's been a Vampire LARP the past two years at Owlcon. I know there was a Cthulu LARP two years ago. Not sure about last year.

    Yes, I admit it. I've LARPed before. I don't think it's that fun, but some people seem to really like it. OwlCon is a LOT of fun if you're into any sort of table top RPGs.

    I just realized that LARP was not an organization per se, but an acronym for Live Action Role-Playing.

    Sorry to be the last one to arrive at the party.

    :(

    A bunch of black and white guys formed this sports LARP in Los Angeles a few years back. We called them the Clippers.

    Yep. I think there's a sports LARP in Houston called the "Texans."

    Wow. That's a little more "live action" than you might want. :(

    I think this is one of those signs that indicates a school shooting is imminent.
