You are a LARPer: What do you equip yourself with?

[Morderkaine]

As a LARPer, I have found that the sword and shield combo is quite good. However, one of my favorite weapons is the polearm - great reach, and sometimes that makes all the difference.
And bows fire rather slowly - good for getting the first hit in, but if the enemy charges you are dropping the bow for better weaponry.

Uhh, I want a horse. Can I haz?

 

[unoleian]

I would bring my Cardboard Sword of Flailing (+1)
And one plastic tube of Tennis Balls of Imaginative Elemental Power. (up to 6d6 of damage)

Medieval Reenacting: Probably a <a=http://www.superiorsteel.co.nz/uploads/66530/images/91728/GDFB_-_XB0099_--_PoleAxe.jpg>Pollaxe or a <a=http://callitaweasel.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/zweihander_b.jpg>Zweihander. I've already got a bit of experience with polearms, if not specifically those two, but those two were some of the most useful medieval weapons, plus they look totally badass.

LARPing: A suicide pill. I may be a bit of a geek, but I never wanna sink THAT low.

Most LARPers are not the geeks/nerds you think they are. Most people in the club im part of are socially skilled people who work in professional environments. Lawyer, Video game designer, data analyst, engineer... We are adults who have realized that just because we are adults, it doesnt mean we have to stop playing games and having fun in our free time. Its like a more immersive D&D.

A car so i can get the fuck out of dodge

 

[Naheal]

I armor up with Studded Leather and dual wield. Longsword main hand, dagger offhand. I also carry several throwing knives and a light crossbow.

 

[skeliton112]

Ill be a man. Brass Knukles in one hand and fredy kruger nails in the other. Thats for both situations.

 

[pelopelopelo]

Viking sword, round shield, saex, throwing axe or two.

But then, I'm a nerd for Norse history...

 

[DominoSmith]

Warhammer.

I'll channel my Viking ancestors. If all else fails, I'll just go BERSERKER!!!

 

[Ldude893]

SCREW historic accuracy.

 

[Kwaren]

I would use a Bec de Corbin. It is a hammer and pick head with a spear tip on top of a 6 foot poll.

Spoiler: Bec de Corbin

 

[Sev72]

Well...I would be a time traveler and I would bring a shotgun. Yea, that works I think.

 

[War Penguin]

I would have a standard sword and shield... covered in actual blood.
... And a horse. You gotta have a horse. You just gotta.

 

[nicholaxxx]

two Dirks, or a shortsword and a stilleto. I'm too manly for shields!

Video game designer? You've destroyed your own argument with that lol.jk

 

[TheTurtleMan]

How about a horse so I can run the fuck away from any real battles. Although I guess if I had to,a longsword.

 

[Rauten]

Spoiler: A cardboard tube, of course!

 

[mythicdawn12]

You know those giant swords Final Fantasy characters use? Or the one that Nightmare uses in Soul Calibur? Those. They can act as a shield and a weapon.
