If you ever have to explain what we do when we go "CAMPING"

16x9 : Role Play: What's it like to LARP?

I normally just look the questioner in the eyes and say "I sneak through the woods and shoot at people with a crossbow."

What really sells it is the deadpan delivery and matter of fact manner in which I saw it. They usually don't ask twice...

I post that with a bunch of people I "frolic in the woods." To give credit where it is due, Norm came up with the phrase.

Oddly, people don't really question it when I tell them that I "go into the forest and pretend to be English."

I tell people precisely what I do. I also tell them it is called Knight Realms, that a lot of other really cool people do it too, and then I usually show them some pictures.

I tell people that too! Nothing like having people give a mom plenty of space at the playground
