 October 28, 2013 - 8:02am | I was just brainstorming plot seeds for the threads on Maze. Like the suggested what if a rogue AI was reactivated? What if it took over a LARP amusement park staffed with robots? Then I got thinking og a youtube video I once watched of a LARP combat where the guy playing a wizard was throwing marshmellows and yelling "Fireball!" The irony of that was that no one paid any attention to his fireballs and since he looked a little fat like me I kept thinking he should eat his own fireball. That said you really could do some cool LARP stuff with SF tech like the holoscreen- you could play a wizard and cast some really impressive fire magic as a function of the holoscreen. Even someone playing a warrior could use the screen to change the appearence of his sword to be a flaming magic sword. Robotic or holographic opponents could allow for a real immersive experience- like paintbal meets World of Warcraft and LARP. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
