It was kinda a mix of several LARPS such as Amtgard and SCA. They had padded weapons but instead of the padding being like 2 to 4 inches thick, like in Amtgard, it was only about 1 or 2 centimeters thick...so the weapons hurt a hell of alot more.

Got grazed in the face by one guy's weapon..grazed my bottom lip, went up my top lip and caught the very edge of the right side of my nose and sent my glasses flying....

So i ended up with a bloodied bottom lip, but I still had a hell of alot of fun and definately didn't get it as bad as the guy that accidentily gave himself a gash on his head with his own shield.

We'll definately go play with them again sometime
