LADIES PLEASE READ (responses requested): Now that I think about it...

I won't lie - I love foam combat.  It's easy to get into, not too much different in any game I play, great exercise and doesn't involve me remembering tons of incants.  As for the other reason I don't generally play spellcasters, I can't throw spell packets for beans. 

Someone pointed out that I should read this topic after I mentioned that I just got started in a full contact foam combat game (they don't call it larping though it has a lot of the same aspects).  Believe it or not, there are a bunch of women who fight there as well...
