Title: "LARP" at Bristol?
Post by: groomporter on July 10, 2008, 09:14:29 AM
Probably not an actual full LARP (Live-Action Role Playing game), but I just noticed on their website that Bristol is doing some sort of inter-active theater/ role-play game. Any word on how it's well it has gone so far?

I checked it out and seemed more of a "treasure hunt" for a lack of better words.  Its like, go here and watch this, tell me what such and such said.  My wife and I have season tickets and they wanted $100 bucks for the season....I'll pass!

You can also pay $10 per day or $15 per weekend.

That price seems a little excessive for something their trying out for the first time.  $5 a day seems more reasonable for a new activity nobody has had the opportunity to try yet.

That does seem a bit steep, considering its $15 more for the season than it is for a season pass to get in the faire.
I am going today,so I'll try to find out more info to post.

I'd love to see a review of this. It sounds like it could be fun but I don't get why I should have to pay an additional fee to play.

I figured it was a little too much for us as well.  Im sure it would be fun but Id rather drop that 100 on some drink and food!!! ARAGGHHH!!!

That strikes me as more of an advertisement than a true unbiased review but thanks for sharing.

Most of what I've seen about it kinda comes off that way.
