[QUOTE=gamefreek76;20358807]Me and my friends make some bad ass swords out of wood and hit each other with them. Hurts like a bitch, but at least we don't look like fairies hitting each other with foam. Ya, thats real leather. :smug:[/QUOTE] Yeah but only gimps use leather
Can someone tell me what a LARP'er is? Or just what Larp stands for.
me and my friend went to the fair and won some plastic swords at this one booth, when we wont home and fought with them they broke pretty easy...
i did this but i used thick wooden dowels [editline]01:52AM[/editline] we'd use a real long dowel and one of us would be darth maul, the game ended when one of us got hit in the knuckles and got pissed off enough to quit [editline]01:54AM[/editline] in fact i guess what we did was just hardcore stick/staff fighting except we were of course jedis having starwars fights
A cheap and easy way of making sword is just sticking PVC tubing inside a pool noodle. That's how me and my friends do it. I have been stopped by the cops twice for playing with toy swords in public.
Its also called boffing. Its similar to Larp but you don't call out your fairy uber magik spellz. There is no magic its either melee or arrows. Headshot/bodyshot = death. 1 shot on arms or legs = Arms, You drop whatever you are holding and can no longer use that arm. Legs= You have to hop or sit down. You can loose both arms or both legs or all four. Surprislying fun to play, Took a practice 25lb recurve bow and made arrows out of dowel rods with alittle bit of pipe insulator on the end and used duct-tape as the feathers. Only problem with it was the arrows kept breaking because people thought it was hilarous to hit them with their weapons once the arrows were on the ground. Depending on who you play with it can make or break the fun level. If your playing with people who Cry about blow strenght dont play with them any more. Its a foam weapon you should be able to hit as hard as you want. We made sheilds out of those round sleds and half of them are broken because of the hammer we made. Named it "Sunder" a hard hit from that will break a shield or leave you breathless for a minute or so.

[QUOTE=Hot_Wings;20382662]Live action role playing[/QUOTE] I can see why it's such a negative thing now....

Something enjoyable, but you wouldn't do it in public. Like fapping, only marginally less creepy.

me and my buddy fought with the nerf swords....Inside the store...With the cardboard still on em cause we didn't wanna buy them.
Heh, I did this shit at the last party I was at. Damn I was drunk.
Real men cast spells on those uncivilized weapons such as swords. I for one use Lightning blast with a +5 damage radius and +5 electrical power boost, then I finish off with fire array and gain 20 damage points and immunity to Earth attacks. :science:
Back in my day we used sticks. How shitty that was. My knuckles STILL hurt.
I make my own foam swords, they just look like gigantic metallic gray... self made foam swords
this is fun but makes you look stupid
Two pvc pipes are where it's at. There is actually a penalty for getting hit, it hurts like a bastard.
Me and my friend used plastic baseball bats... until the bats eventually snapped in half when he hit me in the head once. Quite fun stuff.
[QUOTE=UberMensch;20370400]Back when I was a little kid, my dad and I used to try and hit eachother with small logs. One day he actually got past my log and thwacked me right in the face. It was funny as hell looking back :P[/QUOTE] This reminded me of when I was younger. me and my dad would start fake fights, where we'd throw punches but intentionally not hit eachother, because it worried my mother. then one christmas day I instigated a fake fight with my dad, and accidentally ducked into his fist. bad times to say the least, I mean, whos gonna believe that story?
[QUOTE=AustinM;20356571]One time I stuck one of these [img]http://www.ziggytc.net/FOAM_SWORD.jpg[/img] in your mom's ass.[/QUOTE] You're missing a good opportunity there my friend. It's: One time I stuck one of these... [img]http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/tv/horatio460.jpg[/img] ...in your mom's ass. [b]YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH[/b]
I cut out cardboard swords and shields as a kid. Good times.

Foams swords fights look cool tho, unluckily I cant afford to waste cash on such a thing right now.
[QUOTE=Hot_Wings;20356505] [IMG]http://www.ziggytc.net/FOAM_SWORD.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE] Haha, I remember seeing those in Tesco during lunch break, would always look around Tesco for something to do and used to take the piss and dual wield these fuckers. Childish yeah :iia:
