Have you ever secretly wanted to play make believe, but you thought you were too old to do so? Well lament no longer! Aaron talks about the health benefits of LARPing, or Live Action Role Playing. It turns out, it’s not all orcs, foam swords, and lightening bolts. We talk about our first LARPing experiences, his LARP centered charity, and the M.I.L.E.S. system, which stands for Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System. If our calculations are correct, about 90% of the population has already engaged in a LARP of some kind or another.
*BONUS* See if you can correctly identify the Back to the Future reference. I am especially proud of this one.
