 Documentary about my LARP game OK, you can all make fun of me now. Here's a documentary that has been airing on the Discovery 3D channel about the LARP game I started 20 years or so ago and currently still run. Yes, that's me being interviewed. http://vimeo.com/71348035_________________Buy my books! http://michaelaventrella.com

Re: Documentary about my LARP game I really enjoyed this.
I have a question though: With the Players keeping track of their hit points, isn't it difficult to determine who dies during large scale battles? What if one player for instance says they still had 10 HP left and their opponent counted differently? I can imagine a disagreement escalating quickly among some players what with them being so committed to the game and all.

Re: Documentary about my LARP game You apparently only watch "Yanks" doing weird things then. When there are FAR weirder things being done in FAR more countries.

Re: Documentary about my LARP game Oh sure, other nationalities are also weird. No where did I imply otherwise.

Someone who never seems to die gets noticed after a while. Peer pressure helps a lot, but people aren't as committed to the game in that sense. I mean, they love the plots and so on, but we really don't have those kinds of arguments. Everyone knows it's a game. _________________Buy my books! http://michaelaventrella.com

And LARPing like this actually started in Europe, although we didn't know it at the time we started our game back in 1989. _________________Buy my books! http://michaelaventrella.com
