Just wondering, have you guys ever been interested in LARPing? I mean, it's something you really have to dedicate yourself to but I think it would be fun as hell! I can see why someone might think it silly but c'mon, it's your childhood imagination coming to life!  |

I was interested in larping once and I even tried it once. I ended up taking the combat wayyyyy to seriously and almost hut someone so I stopped. It was fun while t lasted.

Me and my buddies tried it once with a lot of...improvised weapons (foam noodles) so if you could actually count that then yeah, I tried it once myself lol. We slammed hands against each other when we swung and that caused some damage so I can see where you're coming from  |

My friends and I did not go the role play route, but we did have "cardboard wars" in which we constructed armor from duct tape and cardboard and weapons from whiffle bats and maces made from basket kickballs and duct tape chain.We hurt each other, but at the end of the day, we embraced and cheered. The whole thing was very "Fight Club" in the end.

So a few people I know do this thing in PA called the Pennsic Wars. It's like LARP...but on a huge, huge scale.
It's a "yearly event between the Kingdom of the East and the Kingdom of the Middle"
Thousands of people show up every year, and there are just acres of people camping out, and doing some fighting, and staging "court" events, and yeah. It's like medieval fair...but for hardcore fans. They literally camp out for 2 weeks and just do their thing.
I went and walked through the tent cities a few years ago for the hell of it, was probably in an area that I shouldn't have been in, and some things can just not be unseen.

Reminds me of this movie www.imdb.com/title/tt1734589/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1It was pretty funny too. |
