You're thinking of live-combat LARPs. They're more popular on your side of
the ocean. :) The live-action gaming that's being discussed here is more
like tabletop, save that it takes place in a larger room, uses some other
randomizer than dice, and is done through physical action and dialogue
rather than description.

I think that a UA LARP would be great. I also think that it'd have to be
done custom, rather than through a published, one-size-fits-all set of LARP
rules like MET or Passion Play.
