I've LARPed a little with some friends from college. I've also done something similar with some Renaissance festival knights who were practicing at a park near my house. Like table topping, it's something I only like doing every once in a while so I tend to only play one-shot characters.

If you have a great group, it can be lots of fun. Otherwise, only one or two characters get good moments while everyone else just kind of hangs out waiting for stuff to happen. Since most games last three hours or more, this can be boring.

My best game involved me playing a succubus agent trying to charm as much information as possible from the opposition during a conference between mages and vampires. I'm not a very flirtatious person by nature, but I felt save with my group. Everyone was wearing a sticker indicating how comfortable they were with physical contact. We also had hand signals to stop play if you wanted a break or make suggestions.

I am kind of bemused at how low LARPing is on the geek hierarchy. I won't deny that some people I've played with are way more into it than I am. It's like D&D people who talk about their characters way too much. However, most of the people I've met have been fun to talk to. Like most social activities, finding the right group for you can make all the difference.
