No, but I would if there were a crap ton of people doing it. Not that fantasy "I cast my ice spell" kind of LARPing but the kind where you get armies together and beat the piss out of each other or go one-on-one in a duel and beat the piss out of your opponent. Hmm, in hindsight, LARPing for me would just be an excuse to beat the crap out of someone and have them be okay with it and have a really good time. No foam weapons though, either wood or something sturdy that could take full on blows or I would not do it.
I do not LARP because I haven't decided I'm that nerdy yet. I know of an area in a local park where adolescents frequently gather to LARP and I am not anxious to be among them haha.
I used to make up my own "Role Plays" when I was about 7-12. It was fun, but I got too obsessed with the details in describing stuff to my friends, and not enough about what we were beating the shit out of.
Not technically, and it's a bit too nerdy for me to actually do. At least, seriously.

I don't know, it's just a bit too fanboy for me. My friend does it and I can't help but laugh at him, when he's all dressed up! It's the same as cosplay too. Just too much!
Nah, sorry.
I mean, cosplay is one thing. That's just like going to a big costume party for the weekend. But LARPing...all the LARPers I met were...obsessive. And they didn't give a very good image of the--experience.

Not exactly LARP, but kinda like the Airsoft post earlier.
I do Military Simulations using IR Taggers (AKA laser skirmish).
We're given a mission objective at the start of the day, and are often given further objectives as the day continues.
Our group is lucky enough to have current and Ex-military personnel taking part, so the combat can seem pretty real at times - kinda like playing ArmA II - just with more exercise and less air-lifts.

It looks cool. Not any group in my area that I know of. I was thinking of attending one at a game convension before but ended up just playing in a 40k tourni instead. I use to do stuff like that when I was young with two of my friends. We'd take it it turns to create the story and be the NPCs. Longest lasted 2 years shortest was 3 hours. XD
Dangerous stuff. I'd be scared to LARP with so many people re-enacting a big battle, especially given the size of some of those 'soldiers', I can see why there's so many injuries. On the other hand, the System Danmarc LARP looks so close to my real life that I don't see why I'd need to bother pretending...
I watched the videos and just thought
"Thats stupid, why not either do the real thing on a game or go join the army, it would be much cooler"
Honestly it just looks stupid and can not imagine myself doing that

I larp, but I don't do the Fantasy based rubber swordery. My larp setting is a modern gothic horror (World of Darkness - you know that Vampire: The Masquerade game? The PC one? You know it's based on a LARP setting? ).
There's no real fighting, if fights break out it just turns into a tabletop RPG while you roll dice for the fight. It's a lot darker, a lot more subtle, a lot more political. It's just improvised acting.
And for all you guys saying "No, I like girls. LOLOLOL" you're just showing how little you know, because I have NEVER met a girl who didn't think it was cool. And I go out often, I'm not a social reject =P

Hmmm... I'd be interested in it, but for one thing, I can't get any costumes or weapons done for such things. Also, there's probably not any groups willing to follow through, so... I'm probably not going to get such a chance.
