Howdy folks,

I've LARPed for quite a few years. Mostly a game in California called Adventures, as well as some NERO (International).
Weapon style of choice is florentine swords or repeating crossbow w/ throwing knives. I've cranked out more boffers over the years than I can count. I was there to see the progression from pipe insulation, to flatblades, to ultralights with graphite cores.

Now crossbows is something new to me. How did you get it to hit hard enough to be effective, but not hurt?

Depends on the crossbow. For my repeating crossbow it's pretty much honor system. The bolts are light and short-ranged so either the target sees themself get hit, or you let them know about it with a quick shout (it won't be felt through heavy armor).

For the heavier and longer range bows they can be felt easier, but often they take the hits on honor as well.

It's usually not a problem. Heck, with the repeater I usually land 4 hits on a target, anyway.  

[TheTinker]

Allo I LARP at SUNY Purchase College in Purchase, NY.
My names Tiara but people call me Tinka or the Tinkers.
I only recently started boffer fighting since I get a little into in and I didn't want to hurt anyone. I played a childlike harvest goddess who was obssessed with blood for about two years and I play a paladen badly now. I prefer "spackatering" and healing to boffer fighting.  

[Toge]

Every boffer needs someone to sit on the sidelines, nurse their hurts and cheer them on! ^_^ Welcome, hun!

Can't make it stop...

Hello!

My name is Elizabeth. I'm involved in several larp-type things, including Belegarth, Werewolf: The Apocolypse, and a local one called Echoes. I'm also going to be attending Onyx Hollow at the end of the months.

I'm the most active in Belegarth. My fighting name is Losivvt, and I've been fighting now for five months.

That's it really. ^.^

...keep ******** it up.

 

[Zamiel_Aesir]

Greetings are in order I suppose. Z works perfectly fine if, for whatever reason, you feel the need to address me; one would hope you do mm?I'm involved in Belegarth, only belegarth, but have been for nearing a year and a half now.

So again I offer Greetings, Salutations, and farewell till next we speak.  

[Bluetabbycat]

Hello! I'm from the UK and have been LARPing for about a year and a half now, though I have been table topping for a lot longer. I'm currently involved in my local university LARP, Fools & Heroes (a Cardiff based LARP) and Mealstrom, which is a much bigger UK event.
