Live Action Role-Playing (LARPing) has become a very popular past-time recently among a growing demographic. People of all ages and ethnicities have cautiously begun to learn that LARPing isn't as bad as they first thought. In fact, within the past few years there have been movies, articles, documentaries, interviews, and even a University class!
I invite all of you that aren't LARPers already to learn a bit more, get a little courage, and come join us in the various LARPing venues.
Here is a link to write-up about the University Class:

For those of you that don't like fantasy, but enjoy historical re-enactment, there is always the SCA. They're heavy fighters get a great work out! Not only is heavy fighting super fun, it is also great anger management!
