For all you Geeks and Nerds

Just so I fully understand, you would be gaming in the Monadnock/Keene area?  Right?  At Vendetta?

Yes, in Keene, but not at Vendetta. There is a comic books shop literally a minutes walk from it called "Comic Boom" where I'll be using the table space.

If you count being a soldier for 6 years LARPing...

Otherwise, no god dammit!

Military simulation

Military simulation (mil-sim) LARPs focus on military operations, often in modern or futuristic settings. Many include live combat with laser tag, airsoft or paintball markers. Some mil-sims have a hard-core approach and attention to detail that resembles police exercises or war games conducted by the military. Players may take on combat roles or play non-combatants such as civilians or VIPs.

Looks like those field training exercises are considered a form of LARP.  I've played a paintball version of a combat LARP game.  When I started out I used a lot of paint using the spray-and-pray method, but as I learned more about combat, I changed my tactics.  I started using concealment and cover to my advantage and would wait for my opponents to get close enough for me to have a sure shot, then I would usually hit them with 2 paintballs.  The first time I got a guy with 2 paintballs on the lens of his mask from about 8 feet away was priceless.  Those were fun times.  It's been years since I last played.

Liar! I bet I can walk there in 30 seconds from Vendetta!

Shit, didn't see this till today.

No, not today. I think the second weekend of November will be a good start, so everyone can properly be set up before we go.

[Mike Barskey]

Doh! I forgot about this. It was going to be today. Did it happen? If not, are y'all still interested?

[dalebert]

It didn't happen. Jesse procrastinated with some stupid literature lesson about Thoreau and Civil Disobedience in the Keene Central Square.
