[Deptheads] LARPS

[Victor B]

Our stated policy is:

"No weapons, real or facsimile, are allowed in the hotel. This includes 
swordcanes, which are illegal and a felony in california. Weapons that are 
purchased in the exhibitor hall
must be wrapped and removed to your room or car immediately."

Nerf guns are not new to our convention. Several larps have used them. I played 
in a zombie survival larp some cons back that used nerf guns. No biggie. Bright 
orange nerf guns have not been a problem or issue.
There are boardgames and other games that also use fake weapons and foam guns, 
and larps also use padded swords and weapons. There are kid's rooms at cons that 
have nerf guns for the kids to play with.
I would however suggest that anyone running a larp that uses nerf guns or any 
other weapon prop not have boardgaming, collectables, miniatures, exhibitor 
hall, rpg/rpga or video game rooms as part of their game.

Someone with a toy gun, video game gun, movie prop, or replica gun that looks 
just like a real gun would be against our policy.

Are the NERF guns allowed? Our stated policy on weapons seems to ban even NERF 
guns. (This is just from memory, I have not checked the policy recently.)

It would be nice to fill that space with an 'active' LARP.
