I totally agree, hands down, and I wasn't trying to imply that UA wouldn't,
couldn't or isn't a great setting and system for live-action play. But the
reality is that there are people that would "love" UA but hate LARP games.
Actually, I would say that a statement more to the truth would be that there
are people that would be less than willing to give a LARP game a try when
they would give a table-top game a try.

Why? I don't know. But I have seen it.
