We're trying to muddle a way that has common sense and hopefully non harmful to the participants until we get practice, were doing it at out local college but its mostly DnD stuff, we abandoned the hit point system we experimented with.

Well, Mack, to be honest, the whole thing seems kind of silly in a geeky sort of way.
But I suppose it is a very good way for the geeks to seek each other out so that they may find their own kind and mate.

No, not fencing. LARP-ing.

Tante: lol, sooooo true. Course' the best way to attract new members is usually to say its basically you get a foam weapon and you can beat people up with it, then when they've accepted then we pile a ton of bricks of rules on them
Yeah, my friend who started the club is trying to fence as well, the smith Ben managed to make a fenceing blade or whatever you call it (i dont remember) from PVC and foam and works pretty well.
I hope to learn Kenjutsu/Kendo since I want to use Katana's.

I went down to Atlanta to see the '96 Olympics. Of all the events that we saw, fencing was by far the coolest.
And because it is not as popular as, say, gymnastics, the venue is much smaller, and we could go up to the athletes between matches, get autographs.
I showed my sister's picture to the mother of one of the fencers. He was fencing for the Israeli team, but was a medical student in New York. She took my sister's number.

When I lived in Cedar Rapids, the big LARP game was Vampire: The Masquerade. Every saturday night you'd have a bunch of goth teenagers and near-teenagers wandering around town in little black-glad huddles pretending to be vampires.
I never really figured out how this was different than what they did every other night.

Never got into V:tM.. No boffer combat. And what's the fun without the boffer combat?

heh, *amused* I hope that for our larp club we can train two different styles, formation fighting for when we join up with larger groups and 3-Man-Teams for smaller tournament like events.
