UA is the *best* rpg for larping I've ever read. The rules system is
superfast and easily portable to a live-action environment. All the
characters are human (or human-looking), making UA games a lot easier
than Cthulhu Live. The whole occult underground concept allows you to
bring lots of characters together in a confined space for a variety
of reasons, and Fear of the Tiger allows the GM to enforce a
masquerade of sorts, keeping flashy magics and gunplay to a minimum.

UA was intended, surely,  to be a game. The divide between larp and
rpg is often an artificial one...

Why not? UA deserves to have a reputation... :-)
