[UA] LARPs can suck

[Royal Minister of Stuff]

Yeah, LARPs can suck.  In the last one I played, I was
tied to a tree and disembowled.  In the one before
that I was strung up like a pinata, beaten and then
stabbed and eaten.  It was the good guys doing this to
my character, you understand.

But I've played in two or three fun ones and, when the
game comes together, it REALLY comes together. 
Unfortunately, when a LARP sucks, it really, really
sucks.
