What is a Larper? - miznrg - 04-07-2009

I missed something somewhere. Could someone please explain to me what a "Larper" is? Thanks!

I was wondering this myself as I listened to the show this morning.

When I was 1986, I started playing Dungones and Dragons. After about a year of playing, Guys in my circle of D&D friends all started making home-ade swords (and buying a few real ones) and we went out to an old abandon sugar beet factory and tried to re-enact some of our D&D adventures. At least untill we ran into some Satanists that tried to run us off. Aparantly we were in there territory.

Dude, you were an old school LARPer!

I work with a guy who seems pretty cool. Listens to metal. Loves to talk sports.

Then he told me he had a big weekend planned in which he was going to go up north to a cabin to drink beer and play D&D with a bunch of his friends.

My opinion of him was shot to hell.

I havn't played D&D since1991, which coincidently, is the same year my daughter was born. It was one way I found to rebell against my Dad.


Re: What is a Larper? - 0rz0ski - 04-08-2009

You rebelled against your Dad by having a kid?


Re: What is a Larper? - Mad Dog - 04-09-2009

No, playing D&D silly. I bought a first addition Dungones and Dragons Level one starter book when I was sixteen, and when I showed it to him, He waxed poetic about how kids died Larping in the sewers of Michigan State, and how it was "Satans Game". Then he took it and ripped it up in front of my face and forbid me from playing this cool new game with my friends.
