Gah. You people are wierd. Con larping is a lot more accessible,
imho, than con tabletop. Tabletop requires you (to some extent) to
know the rules and get into character immediately. Larp is a lot more
freeform and your character tends to be under less pressure at the
start, so you can take your time.

Then again, maybe the cons I go to are wierd....
