I was so much fun for a reasonable price. Not a real set, I think they used black curtains and trashbags for walls, but the set up was great, and my friends and me had a lot of fun I got a chance to play Terrorworks, and it was so fun, we got to were flak vests and helmets, got to shoot at some NPC createures with airsoft, interact with this crazy doctor in the Med bay, who finally got eaten by a winged alien thing, and zombies popped from behind boxes and blind angles.

Actualy, as a kid back in the early 80's. I mekmber hearing about live action d and d. Anyone know anything about this, I guess it was part of d and d camp or something.

They're wrong, but whatever. Certainly I think we could say that LARP has more latitude for players to add fictional content to the game (even if many ongoing LARPs seem organized around nothing ever really happening), whereas these True Dungeon-esques put the gameplay elsewhere.

Question: what is the difference between these type of games and a LARP? Or is this a way to get people to "LARP" without the stigma associated with the word? So, I wonder if it’s immersive?
