There is weekly boffer fighting, though not much LARP involved. It's every Saturday around noon at Desert Breeze park. On the Twain/Durango side.

I think that it would be somewhat better to do one out here than in some forest. I just know i would get lost out there. Not to change the subject or anything but does anyone know of any "Boffer LARP's" out here? I have been looking forever for one.

Favorite Games
I am pretty much old school. I am a big fan of the Palladium system (o.g. d20). Gave up playing magic seriously after The Dark. Been playing Live Action vampire for more than 10 years...I know...I suck. Was a big fan of Deadlands, Mekton and Amber diceless back in the day as well.

Magic of the gathering varietal

Beer is what makes Magic fun.
Cigars make Magic fun too.

I am not sure how much I like ther game as much as I like smoking and drinking. I really enjoyed the old Vampire CCG Jyhad, and that was lots of fun too. But with that crowd it was wine. Maybe all of my gaming experiences need to be tempered with drinks of some sort. The social aspect only really seems to be fun for me at all when I have the opportunity to play with someone old enough to drink, interesting. If I could find a core group of… Continue

Rifts, the most underrated system and setting ever

Palladiums O.G. D20 system is flawless in its simplicity. Roll 4 or higher, you hit pretty much everything. No need to concern yourself with clandestine verbage like THAC0, and armour class nonsense. Shut up and roll!!!!

For the uneducated the Rifts campaign setting was one of the rare examples in gaming where all you needed was one book. No dm guide and monster guide...no hundreds of splat books with more badly drawn pictures than useable text. Imagine a Magic card with 300 word on it, and the… Continue

The worst setting ever

RAVENLOFT!!!

I know I am gonna catch some flack for saying that, but it was absolute balls. Imagine a setting where you had absolutely no shot at getting out. As a general rule, I (at least in a tabletop scneario) play heroic characters, and like to run games with heroes in them. You get sucked into a "dimension" where you can even move from land to land, you are stuck where you get dropped in and that is it. Eventually everyones favourite baddie Lord Soth pops his head out, you fight him and w… Continue

the worst character death ever.

Playing in a Larp Sabbat (vampire) game a few years back. I killed someone with a candle. We had this test of strength where you had to hold your hand to a candle. My character had the ability to make illusions so my candle was fake. The other player kept taking damage from the flame where I looked unharmed. He got so angry and stubborn that he refused to take his hand away, he kept asking me "Is your candle an illusion (OOCly) and I kept telling him it was real (becuase he did not need to know)… Continue

Feel my pain!!!

So there I was. My 12th level Cleric was dead...good and dead for the last time. It was still fairly early into the game session, so I decided to roll up a new character and get back into the game. For the first time in my life I actaully rolled 3 sixes...and I grabbed that those percentile dice becuase there was a strength stat waiting to happen. I rolled them and got a 63. I immediately started thinking Elf Fighter (dont ask me why)..dual wielding tastyness. I finished rolling him up and waite… Continue

How was your event yesterday? Game Day was small and I didn't get to run my T&T game, but I played Settlers of Catan with a few of the guys there. Had a good time. I will be there for the Game Day in January for sure.

I know. I have class on thursday nights. Most of the time I don't care about missing one but this teacher docks 13 out of 20 possible points for attendance/participation. That is a whole letter grade. I would rather be knocking heads in the pit, but I will instead be knocking my head against the desk in an attempt to stay awake.

Agreed. Hunter: the Reckoning is a great game. Though Orpheus trumps it terribly.

I assume you're talking about Edges in H:tR? Edges went up to 5 man. And even level 1 Edges were pretty mighty.

I just finished running a Hunter: the Reckoning game back in Indianapolis that went pretty well. I wouldn't mind playing again, but honestly I've been really curious about the new Hunter: the Vigil. I think it's worth a look...

So, I got in two games of battle missions. RG vs Imp Fists. They were awesome missions. Played the Surprise attack as defender (and got hosed), then played final defense as defender also, and pulled out a draw. I'm lovin this book, just got to get m…

Thanks John, I'll have to give you a call to reset the password later today. In the event of a tie when rolling for the mission do you roll off and the winner picks the mission from the list or do you use the dice rolled to generate a random mission…

Josh, there will always be something not-D&D at Game Day. I'm officially the unofficial mascot of the Vegas not-D&D community... and I haven't missed a Game Day yet! :-P
