[quote user="LarpPrincess"] PRS and I are in, just bought our tickets. I can't find the cast list on BYOV.com, yet. Is it up? [/quote] Not yet, no :( I'm in the middle of the semester end, buried in grades. I'll have a preliminary list up soon, though. Super-happy that you two can...

[quote user="The Chronek"] Hobomancer in particular or QAGS in general? I haven't played Hobomancer yet, but have played in several QAGS events the last three to four years. What a fun, easy system. Character generation takes 20 minutes tops. The GMs run a really great, goofy game. I remember...

[quote user="Bubba Ho-Tep"] Tom, you do an SG Larp and I will break my vow to never play in another Larp. Had a bad experience in a Vampire Larp, my first Larp at that and haven't played one since. [/quote] I'll hold you to that :) Honestly, there are a few different meanings to 'LARP'...

I want to add that, in future years, BYOV Games will be offering a charter rickshaw service around the convention and surrounding hotels. Once that's up and running, we will definitely need children of all walking ages to pull the rickshaws. Now, parents will have to pay for their children to take...

(Hey mods, can we get this stickied?) I wanted to point folks to a thread dedicated to our lovely Andrea's g33kF1tness/BYOV action hero LARP and SPA fitness events. Ultra cool stuff, get RIPPED! http://community.gencon.com/forums/t/26016.aspx

[quote user="beelzabean"] Okay, now I'm considering dumping Saturday morning event so I can LARP this train...more to come... [/quote] Peer pressure! Peer pressure!

[quote user="Narcissica"] My first LARP was a BYOV production - it was the Torchwood LARP in 2007(?) I just threw myself into the character and had a blast. I even won a t-shirt for my acting. :) I fell in love with BYOV from that point on, and made some really great friends. The majority of...

[quote user="alkah3st"] I am curious about the LARPs... I did one LARP not too long ago for a reporter friend of mine who was writing a book about LARP (that'll be published this fall actually). She conducted her own with a LARPing group in her parent's summer home in Cape May NJ. There...
