Check out the Mid-Level Crisis LARP Podcast, where NERO® Elkins's own Eric & Matt talk about everything LARP.

Elkins Live Fantasy runs NERO® Elkins WV, a chapter of NERO®, or the New England Roleplaying Organization, one of the largest boffer LARP organizations in the United States. In Live Action Role-playing (LARP), you become the character of your fantasies, and, acting out the action, solve the mysteries and defeat adversaries with wit, intelligence, and sword & sorcery. At NERO® events, you use skills that your character has earned, as well as the skills that you as the player bring to the game. Much like King Arthur, Lord of the Rings, and Renaissance Fairs except you are the hero.

Keep in mind that NERO® events are full of action and suspense. There will be times spent wandering alone through the darkness, worried that monsters will jump out at you and attack you. This ain't your mommy's D&D game. If you are squeamish, easily frightened, or afraid to whack other people (and get whacked) with a foam weapon, NERO® is probably not for you.
