A New Spin On Role Playing Games

Roy laughed, "You'd be surprised, it's usually a lot of fun, and most of the private groups like to join in, so maybe it would be a way to work your way into one of those groups."
"I guess I could at least come check it out, and if I don't like it, I can always just bail," I reasoned.
So, I showed up to check out the next time they LARPed, and it was about as stupid as it sounds. Everyone showed up in old robes, pointy hats, cardboard armor that had been painted gray and they all had cardboard swords and axes. They all seemed to have a pretty good time, though after a while it was hard to tell who the good guys were and who the bad guys were. It seemed to degenerate into total chaos toward the end. Afterwards, one of the guys who organized the things, Greg talked with me about it. He told me that had a couple different scenarios they would play out in a session. Today's was known as "Battlefield", but they also had actual missions they'd play, too. There was one called "Buried Treasure", where one team hid a treasure, then gave the other team a map, and they had to find it. There was also "Capture" which was basically capture the flag, but done in swords and sorcerers' style, instead of with paintballs. By far, the favorite was "Rescue", where the bad guys would "capture" a girl, or a maiden, as the case might be, and the good guys would have to find her and battle the bad guys to rescue her.
The only problem was, no one wanted to play the maiden, since they all wanted to be in the game. Greg explained to me, "So, we rotate the duty around, so no one person has to do it every time. I just want to warn you, if you're interested in playing, you'll probably get the duty as maiden, since it always falls to the newbies first."
Outwardly, I hoped I looked calm and normal, because inwardly, I was turning cartwheels. You see, hiding who I am as a geek has never been hard, I've been doing it for years, because I'm also a closet cross dresser. So, to have the chance to dress and be out and about doing it was a thrill. My only major concern was that I usually get pretty turned on when I dress, so I'd have to figure out some way to hide that. I briefly wondered if it would be weird if I volunteered to be the maiden EVERY TIME?!
