If you can be brief, I'd be interested.

in this system each character has 6 location
(head, body, each arm and each leg). As a basic character you have one hit on any of these locations until it it unusable (in the case of body or head, this makes you unconscious)
One more hit on each causes them to bleed (there's some shit about when you die, too, but I'm trying to be brief here)
If you have light armour (furs or leather) you have another hit before it's useless, medium (studded leather) one more and heavy (chain or plate) another.
To have armour you must have spent the points from your character creation and have the actual armour (known as the Physical Representation or Phys Rep.)

there is more to it
but a) it's not interesting for a non player and b) I never read the rules

Can't you just paint a bit of cardboard silver and pretend?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 29 Apr 2012, 22:30, Reply)

You can't spoil things with pretending
Wait, hang on...

If I larped I would carry the biggest foam axe I could carry and wail on the weak all day.

you wouldn't be alone
but the size of the weapon has no effect on it's damage unless you can get it some kind of special power
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 29 Apr 2012, 22:37, Reply)

My special power is hitting really hard repeatedly.

oh
you'd be one of those dicks 'if you can't hurt the character, hurt the player'
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 29 Apr 2012, 22:39, Reply)

Fuck yeah!

power needs.

Which Bob has in buckets.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 29 Apr 2012, 22:39, Reply)

I can't believe that people get the piss taken out of them for not taking larp seriously enough.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 29 Apr 2012, 22:37, Reply)

God I'd kill myself!

( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Sun 29 Apr 2012, 22:38, Reply)

oh you would be surprised

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 29 Apr 2012, 22:38, Reply)

Do they charge people to larp?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 29 Apr 2012, 22:39, Reply)

yup
you're underestimating how much goes on/needs planning for these things. If nothing else, the cost of the place. The one this weekend will have 1000-2000 people
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 29 Apr 2012, 22:41, Reply)

Bloody hell.
That's massive.

How much do they charge?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 29 Apr 2012, 22:42, Reply)

depends when you book
I've not prebooked for this one, and it's one of the bastard expensive ones, so it'll probably be around £60. That system is getting stupid with prices, but they are the well known one so they get away with it
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 29 Apr 2012, 22:43, Reply)

Blimey.
If you've gor 2000 people paying somewhere in the region of sixty quid...

That's like... £60 x 2000 = ..... That's a lot!

What facilities do they provide?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 29 Apr 2012, 22:46, Reply)

that system, not as much as we'd like
but the place is expensive, as are the facilities, then there are big set pieces (the ritual circle is always quite fancy) and costumes for the monsters. There's also a couple of people on the organisation crew who are paid. Rumour is the guy who runs it is loaded, but a bit shit and stingy with actually spending the money :/ quite a few people are moving to other systems

And you still can't pull there?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Sun 29 Apr 2012, 22:42, Reply)

I am that much of a poor catch
