AVATAR, I wish more larps were like this.

Now, see, that actually looks good, though I see how it'll give LARP a really bad reputation.

It was only a matter of time...sigh. The world at large (ie the mundanes) already think larpers are nerdy no-life losers (and Role Models didn't help!) but now a flick like this will return the stigma to the days where people thought d&d players were devil worshipers who will go balistic, kill and sacrifice others and who can't distinguish between the game and the real world. Oh...the lost progress!!!

I'll still likely see it though lol.

And did anyone catch all the calimacil weapons (including the axe I want).

I can only see that movie going poorly for LARPers everywhere

Occasionally, after the hordes of gawkers and assholes come through, a few people actually join games when they see what's really going on.  It's happened before with SomethingAwful.com and KR, and Fark.com - I would not be surprised if it happened again.

Still, expect a lot of new people to sign up for the forums and a few (OOG) trolls to post for a few months.  Just don't fall for them.

Hah, I have a friend who works in film (and is one of my old larper buddies from way back) and saw this at Sundance. He said it was awesome but it won't help larper stigma any.

Nothing says connected to nature like toilet paper eywa. They couldn't use a willow tree? I don't remember seeing a fat bearded Navi in avatar but I'll roll with it.
