Live Action Role-Playing with characters, costumes, sets and you keep the silver coins you win.

Live action, maybe.

Mainstream, never!  :rotf:

Kinda looks like the hispanic version of MXC if you ask me.

They should open up Afghanistan and the problem areas of Iraq to paid tourists that want to do live action Gears Of War or Modern Warfare.  Big fees and ironclad liability wavers.

Televise it on pay per view with team play.

Hilarity would ensue.

LARPs have been around since the eighties. Generally you dress up in robes and toss ping pong balls at bad guys yelling, "Fireball!"

This on the other hand, looks like a Telemundo game show...its just has a fantasy theme.

LARPers - not all that hard to find, even D&D ones have been getting underfoot for a couple of decades at least.

eta - There are some that go whole-hog with top-of-the-line AirSoft stuff (The kind that with all the upgrades cost as much as real EBRs) and go at it high-speed like big-time paintballers, run into those guys and you'll think you've encountered the richest SWAT team in America.  Total gear junkies.

If the taxpayers only paid me more, I'd be right up there with 'em.
