One who knows me only from this column might think I am a dry sort, spending my spare time bloviating about ethics and not much fun otherwise. However, I do have my moments. One thing I did recently was to attend a LARP event in the woods of eastern Connecticut.
For those of you who are not familiar with it, “live action role playing” is a subculture of folks who don personae in a mystical world and play roles in a continuing drama. It is very popular on some college campuses (where my wife was exposed to it) and among computer geeks and other very bright, but slightly unhinged, sorts. Think of the Society for Creative Anachronism with a plotline.
