LARPing vs forum roleplaying. which is better.
Posted: Sat Jun 29, 2013 7:44 amPost your thoughts below. Personally I think both have their merits, forum role playing has more possibility and you don't need costumes, but LARPing adds more action.

Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

Posted: Sat Jun 29, 2013 7:47 amI find LARPers to be a bit silly, honestly.
OP you should add more so the mods don't lock this.

Thought so. I would google it but I am on a 4 year old netbook that lags if I have more than 2 tabs open.... Yeah...
On topic: My only experience with LARPing is that Supernatural episode. I believe that as a concept it is really cool but as a real thing it is dorky and gay on the lameness scale

Threads with one-sentence Opening Posts get locked on sight. Perhaps you could tell us what LARPing is and what your opinions are? I personally would rather sit in a nice, comfortable chair to role-play than go spending money for costumes and accouterments that I'll use maybe twice a year.

Posted: Sat Jun 29, 2013 8:04 amPosted: Sat Jun 29, 2013 8:04 amLARPing is, generally speaking, more focused on comedy than NSRP is. That's not to say that NSRP can't be funny (NSH is a testament to that), but LARP without comedy is like a subwoofer without woof.

Debating in general is better, except when terrible OPs crop up.

You do not have to spend money to LARP. On the other hand, you do have to spend money to NSRP, unless you are using a public internet pool.

Coffee has laxative properties.
Don't take a shit in the shower.
