Heh. Some PR tactics are better designed than others. I'm reminded by this on occasion, seeing frequently how other LARPs manage to get attention from genre...

Well, while this does seem useful in some situations, I generally tend to disagree. It seems to me, that the more you mechanise the game using rules, you show...

... First, in the case of many rulebooks (pick just about any Live Combat LRP system), there is a lot of information that is background information covered....
... I haven't met the majority of larpers in the US. I know that a good number -- but NOT ALL of my friends -- could get by with no mechanics, but I dunno....
