So, to spark conversation on this forum, I thought I'd post a question...
What LARPs has everyone played? What did you like about them, and what were not so great?
I'll start -
My first LARP was Second Edition Vampire the Masquerade. I can't really think of anything I disliked about it; the rules were simple for a first LARP, and the storyteller was awesome. I had a Toreador character named Lily for about 5 years...she was wonderful to play. Also in that game I was able to dabble in the Garou rules, as Lily became mortal again, and through a series of tests ended up coming into her inheritance for werewolf...CRAZY!
I've played Three Fates Gaming's Divus Ex. My first encounter with it was very confusing, and I really disliked the GMs...they took the game a little too far and would not go out of character to answer simple rules questions. This was at a convention, so I guess you get all types.
I run a Changeling: the Dreaming LARP, however, there are so many rule changes, it may as well be a different game; I still like to give credit where it's due though.
I have played V:tM new Requiem rules, and I have to say, I don't really like it. I don't like the cards, I like the old R-P-S system.
I've played several LARPs at conventions...
I think that's about it. I tend to stick with WoD stuff, but I'm always interested to see what non-WoD stuff there is out there.
