[quote="Neuro"]You know, I've had the opportunity to hit people with foam before and it really /was/ fun. Really good fun. I enjoyed it /immensely/. I don't think I could be too serious about the whole thing, though. Are you out there keeping straight faces while you hit each other with foam?[/quot...

We've had more than 20 people, consistently, for over a month now. Our Escondido Ren Faire demo was a smashing success. So come on out, whack people with foam. :smash: It's fun. We meet every Saturday at noon in Kit Carson Park, Escondido: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=3333+Bear+Va...

Yep. "Fighting garb", rather than something pretty you'd see at a ren faire. That stuff doesn't tend to last long when you're pounding on it with foam-padded sticks. Our standards are pretty low all things considered. A T-tunic and belt is "good enough", though hardly appealing t...

We had a record turn out last Saturday. TWENTY FIVE people came out. Not all of them fought, but enough did (15-20) to make for some excellent foam smacking and general mayhem. So come on up. All the cool kids are doing it. It'll make you feel good. (unless you take a shot in the junk... that's not ...

Still going strong, though we've moved locations. We now meet Saturdays at noon in Kit Carson park, near the jungle gyms by the southern entrance. Kit Carson Community Park 3333 Beark Valley Parkway Escondido, CA 92025 http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=3333+Bear+Valley+Parkway,+escondi...

Several local Amtgard chapters will be present at next weekend's "Escondido Renaissance Faire", taking place in Felicita Park: Ren Faire Info Felicita Park Location You do have to pay to enter the faire ($14 for adults for 1 day)... but Amtgard is, as always, free. In addition to Amtgard, ...

One thing I've seen done is to allow the players to give you some idea of what they'd like, and then you can run with it... and you can run through a round or two of feedback if you really want them to "buy in".

Same bat-time, same bat-channel:

Saturday, 1pm
Poinsettia Park, Carlsbad, CA

Last week we had a total of 15 people! We just might match (or dare I hope: beat) that this weekend. Come on out, swing some foam.

Our turnout was indeed good, relatively speaking. 9 foam swingers, including two visiting Warlords, at least one of whom was a Sword Knight... we didn't get a list of credentials... too busy getting my butt kicked. :thwack: And I liked it. Err.. what does fiesta Island have to do with Amtgard? Just ...

We'll be meeting at 1pm in Poinsettia Community Park. We're expecting a pretty good turnout this week... at least for us. ;)

Strathclyde will be meeting at 6:30pm-ish in Carlsbad this Friday at Poinsettia Community Park. They've been meeting every other week, but I believe they'll be discussing a schedule change. More Info: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Strathclyde_shire/ They meet by the jungle gym and generally m...

Errr... what's this "Nobilis" you speak of? You haven't actually described it at all (though you've certainly hinted at a sci-fi setting).

Cool link. Quick question: What does that have to do with LARPing? Live Action Role Playing Game? No? That guy's just nuts for using real rocks though. I'd try a closed-cell foam or something (If some miracle ocurred and I could stick with something like that long enough to finish it of course). Ver...

[quote="devlin1"]I'm not sure how this impacts/interacts with not including Strike on a Block. There's a level of complexity I'm not willing to breach, and I think realistically trying to model Amtgard-LARP-boffing-whatever is definitely on it. Reality and wuxia don't have much in common. It's diff...

Got The Book last week... I've been pouring through it ever since. [quote="devlin1"] I honestly think the fix is even easier than any of these: don't add a weapon's Strike when it's used to Block. Instantly levels the Block/Dodge playing field, especially when you can spend 2 Any Chi to get a +5. I...

Encouraging dodge: If you're trying to simulate someone having better control over the distance between ones self and The Enemy, I can think of a couple ways to do it: Initiative/Athletics vs Initiative/Athletics, like a damage roll... each result die is +5 to dodge. It's somewhat based on reality,...

I ran into WotG due to this forum... (I came looking for a champions game and delvin1 had several posts mentioning HERO in general). Having followed links form this forum, I am well and truely hooked. I special-ordered the book from my local game shop (Pair a Dice Games in Vista) and am waiting with...

Hey all... first post. As a programmer/LARP/martial-arts wannabe guy, I'm more into: http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/frustrations/5aa9/ and http://www.thinkgeek.com/apparel/golfshirts/6616/ And just to mention the actual topic of discussion, the D&D group I play with had a 13 year old daughter ...
