Is anyone else mildly fascinated by this whole "Larp-ing" thing (Live Action Role Playing) in a non-geek way like I am? I mean purely from a spectator sport stand point? Like if I found out this was going on in a field or park near me and there were concessions or at least BYOB, I'd be all over it. "Cancel the plans for Saturday hun, we're going to watch some nerds battle it out in a real life version of Magic: The Gathering (and actually in a totally nerdy way I do think it would be fun to pulverize a few dorks with Styrofoam swords, if I'm just being honest, but I'd never want anyone to find out). Hell, might end up being a reality in a few years the way society raises kids these days. Bunch of soft losers more interested in fantasy books than actual sports or competition.
But seriously, does this go on anywhere around Boston, and are people allowed to tailgate it?
