h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Wassat?

LARPing? Live Action Role-Playing... it's kind of like Dungeons and Dragons except we actually dress up and spend an entire weekend pretending to be a character.

sounds cool... in a y sorta way

Actually it does sound like a larf. Amate of mine years back was Sealed Knot and I was always trying to get him to take me with him. The I found out that girlies weren't allowes to might and I'd just have to be a camp follower or summat.

There's no such sexism in LARP, girls can do everything the boys can!

Sorry, girlies weren't allowed to fight. Plus assorted other typos.
affecting my motor skills.

I've always liked the idea of D&D style LARP, but hubby never too keen. I think it may have something to do with the "psycho-bitch-from-hell" type characters that I always played on table-top versions. Well, you have to get your frustrations with the world out somewhere, right?

Dr Who LARP - anyone know of any?

*desperate attempt to bring conversation back OT*

I've never heard of any Doctor Who LARPs... there is a Stargate one, though.

Here are a couple of fantasy LARPS which I know of:
http://www.foolsandheroes.com
http://www.shardslrp.com (which is the one I do)

My whole family would disown me if I did LARP anyway it's not my thing, a Guy I used to work with did a Sealed Knot thing only this was the American Civil War, he was a Confederate Soldier who specialized in Desertian and being executed for cowardice, he did say there were women in his group usually portraying nurses

That should be desertion

There are a fair few members of my family I would happily disown... they're not into Dr Who!

Yes but should they really be executed for it?
Sorry, scanning.

Well the Union soldiers were such bad shots that he always returned to work on Monday morning

Executuion was for many years the standard punishment for wartime desertion.

No, I meant for family members who don't like Doctor Who.

I'm not sure but I think it still stands, I'll ask Excelsior when I see him

Graham (My mate) was once picked off whilst running from battle

Don't mean to be rude, but any chance you guys could start a new LARP thread?

I keep checking up for new Dr Who news...

Fair point, I don't know how so I'll leave that.

Did I read something about a Who christmas special?

I thnk the Who xmas special is when he regenerates

There is a Christmas Special planned, but it's pure speculation as to whether there will be a regeneration in it. Might save that for start of the new series? Might not do one at all...

I wouldn't execute members of my family for not being into Who, just not speak to them for a while.... they'd probably be happy with that though!
