LARP on the History Channel

LARP has a long running tradition of looking bad in larger scale forms of media. On the other hand, there's been plenty of local editorial pieces that have been very kind, providing informational content on games without making the players look like weirdos.

There's an opportunity going around the internet, regarding a show that the History Channel will be making. It's a show about LARPs, probably covering different groups around the country.

People are afraid, and rightly so.

You see, the casting director is the same person who did casting for Wife Swap. And anyone who has watched Wife Swap should know that they don't have a habit of painting the participants in a good light.

However, the same group has also done casting for shows like Pawn Stars or Missouri Truck Stop, which aren't too bad. And the show is going to be done by the History Channel.

I personally think that we should do our best to put a good foot forward and try and participate, while asking them what they intend for the program (without being too pushy).

If anyone is interested in contacting the casting director, send an email to LARP.Ohio@gmail.com and I'll give the contact info.
