ROLE-PLAYING
There's even a set of LARP rules
called LARP-AQ! This lets you take your role-playing out into the
field and do it for real. If you're a LARPer, you may be thinking that you
can't reconcile a full-fledged rules system with a LARP, which must be
simple and quick. You're right. I realized that there was no feasible was
to do it. So I did it anyway.
And there's a bonus to LARP-AQ!:
the pared-down character-creation for it (sort of like the Quick
Character system completely whittled down to its very basics) doubles as a
fast and furious way for GMs to generate NPCs. (Of course—many things do double duty in AQ!.) There's less to learn, and greater
benefits. Learn one character-creation system, and you can do it all.

What's this?
I never
discussed LARPs with anyone in my years of polling, have had limited
experience participating in LARPs, and never received one email asking
about it. But if AQ! were to be truly unique, complete, and
universal, it needed to have LARP rules. The LARP rules actually stemmed from my desire to come up with fast NPC
generation, which works well for the basics you need for LARP characters.
