You spend 45 mins rolling a char, start the game and it all goes to hell.
Essentially this:
GM: You land in the dropship.
PC: We'lll walk outside.
GM: *rolls*An alien eats you.
PC: Which one of us.
GM: *rolls*Uh....all of you. |
That's awesome...been there.
As for the LARP stuff...I tried it once, didn't like it. Did however make the foam swords and beat the living piss out of my friends w/them.

I've always found the LARPing to be just a little too uber-geeky even for me.

i spent an entire weekend like that. started calling it the ACS gaming system.(Ablative Charactor System)
Ill stick to Cyberpunk and the Friday Night Fire Fight combat rules. Covers everything including rules for cover fire and the simple fact of when bullets fly people die.
Thank the maker for Truama Team Gold medical coverage!

i don't play the magic games, but the best game i played in was a game of team fortress classic (a half-life mod). around 30 players, on my cable modem company's server - i had just gotten cable. There were 3 other members of my clan in the game, and two had just gotten cable as well. It was a really well-balanced game, with the highlight being a guy who wanted to get the server record for suicides - which he said was 342 - He got to 354. This was before the cs players started coming in. damnit i hate counter-strike....

Never criticise a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes. Then, if he doesn't like it, it doesn't matter because you're a mile away and you have his shoes.

First, let's get this straight. Descent 2 was better than 3.
Anyway, There's a lot of candidate best games.
There was the Quake3 match within the clan - you could just hear Spybreak playing in the background...
There were the times in CS that, as the last remaining player, I killed entire teams...
There are the nights we play AD&D, which is more of a party game the way we play it...
But I think the most fun we had was probably when one of our oldskoolers set up a free MUD on the LAN. Before you roll your eyes, I'll say this: we had to figure it out, which meant that we died a LOT. Still do. So our chances of levelling this summer are pretty much nil. But some of the stupidest and most hilarious stuff happened.
For example, borrowing a fighter's sword and turning it invisible, then handing it back. Want to see a pissed fighter? That was it.

Most entertaining RPG I ever played? "Paranoia". 
As far as LARPing goes, why bother with foam stuff when you have a shelf full of SCA rated gear?

You did SCA? Had a buddy that was big into that for a while. Was a lot of fun.

You are my new best friend.
I didn't do much with SCA, mostly, I just collect hand to hand combat weapons from around the world and from different periods of history. I make my own chainmail too.
I will post a few pics sometime soon.
