This is kind of an offshoot of my PVP discussion. Here goes. Disclaimer- I have not done this nor would I. What I am wondering about is the nature of meta-gaming and how consequences actually work in our game world. So here's the situation- my buddy and I want to play political...

I really like PVP. I like it because I like to have my characters in high risk situations, and there is little that is more high risk than going against foes that do not have the "safety" of a plot committee. I am probably more okay with this because I don't really care if my character dies as...

I just can't do it anymore, and even if I could I am not sure I would want to. Weekend Events. I am older now (37), a bit broken (knee surgery), have a little baby (he rules!) and a job that needs some of my weekends (Real Estate). To this I add that SOMETIMES not much of import happens on...

I want our system to add the damge and effects of a spell to what we say after incants. i.e. "I command you to sleep. Magic Sleep" or "I call forth a Lighting Bolt. 10 magic lighning" Here is why I think it is a good idea- It follows what we do in a lot of other cases already so people...

I think we don't need it as part of the game. When there were far less magic weapons it was cooler to have these monsters. You needed to get the right tool with the right character to do the job right. When there was a moderate amount of magic weapons there might be a case made for it helping...

(if someone can tell me/help me make a poll for this I would love the help). You (the player NOT the character) are offered the following deal- in exchange for NEVER being able to use/activate ANY magic items you get the following- - any weapon/armor you wield gains the Indestructible quality...

Shields... They can look SO COOL. Heraldry and art and cool shapes. So visually stunning. I LOVE teaching people how to Alliance fight. I am a teacher by trade, and I just dig helping people get better. I feel like I have taught some people pretty well, and overall have been able to teach...

Recently there was a discussion about PC’s each doing a mandatory 4 hour NPC shift at the weekend games that they play. Those in support of this (myself included) talked about how this would positively impact the PC/NPC ratio and improve the game by allowing plot teams to have a greater NPC...

Anytime someone says, "I only have 1 Left Spell/1 slay/1 dodge or whatever." I HATE THAT. It basically CRUSHES me when people say things like that. And it sadly hasn't just happened once or twice. LARP has given me the ability to do AMAZING things and to feel AMAZING. And I want everyone to...

Hello Board Devotees- In my long and infamous LARP career there has really only been one constant. The best events that I have played have had the MOST NPC's. I am hoping that consensus an quickly be reached that more NPC's is better than the alternative. So lets turn our obsessive brains on...

A little background. I LOVE foam LARP. I have been playing nonstop for 21 years under Alliance (and its pre-split parent NERO). I have also played 7 other foam larp games during that time. As well as some non-foam stuff. I LOVE foam LARP. I LOVE Alliance. That's why I still play. I think our...

Hello All- Every once and a while I come to these boards to read about NERO when my girl is sick of me talking about it. I usually don't post because I am afraid of getting involved in insanity. So here I am posting, and yes I think my post will serve to be helpful. Please don't yell...
