Old News

I may be unfit for duty in the Israel Defense Force. Not that there was any chance at all of me joining the IDF.

The article is actually talking about LARPing, where players dress up as their characters and live the role. Sometimes they hit each other with foam weapons.

I've never been into LARPing. I have been at cons where LARPs have been present. I even went and watched one LARP that was run by a buddy of mine. I'm perfectly happy saying, "My character makes camp for the night," rather than actually making camp. Most people who know me know that I don't get along with the so-called Great Outdoors. On more than one occasion I've said, "The Great Outdoors would be better if it were inside, temperature controlled, and bug-free."

My gaming sessions tend to be more like this.
