To be fair, it's not LARP that's the problem.

It's 90% of the people that LARP that are the problem.

TROOF, our group has often been called elitist because we only let vetted people play... and the usual ST's put up with very little bullshit before they eject people from the game.

In Cthulhu games I've actually scared the crap out of people... its like an interactive Haunted House sort of thing.

My wife and I play Amish.

Me: "Honey, ready to churn the butter?"
Wife:  "Have you raised the barn?"

It's a hoot, I tell you!

I was on a Greyhound with some Amish people once.

Did their horse have a flat?

Well see, that's their treble right there.  Their lucky they didn't fall off a clef.

I tried LARPing once.  OWBN or something.

The trouble was that everyone was role-playing elitist snobs.  Also much smoking (I thought vampires didn't breath... ?) so they were role-playing smelly elitist snobs.

Yeah, OWBN is sort of the mainstream "we'll accept anyone" kind of LARP that I dislike in the extreme. Not everyone can act, or even role play. *gag*

Now, my Cthulhu stories... well, anyone can scream in sanity draining horror as a 12' tall monster lumbers toward them swinging 10' long tentacles... and their flashlight goes dead.

Hehehe, I love handing players rigged flashlights.

You have to burn a blood for it lolololololol.   Also I seem to remember many LARPers talking about burning a blood point so their character (note: not them) could have sex.

(I did WoD [Vampire, etc] LARP when I was in high school, but I was young and stupid then.  Don't hold it against me. )
