Nero Anon Larp

Ok well now as the saying goes, we shall move on to the my second larp I had the pleasure of attending. Nero Anon. Nero Anon is a Nero based larp, Which means among other things that it has a wonderful interconnected network accross north america. But now on with the review!


The good
Interconnected through north America means you can keep your same pc and play at lots of different larps and get xp for them all the way through
VERY VERY highly structored game. I mean this is the only larp i have EVER attended where that activly and often pay HEALERS its a truely amazing group experance.
Good site, This larp also utilities a scouts camp ground so the place is well kept and maintained.


The interesting

Nero is NOT a heavy role play larp, I had wonder questions like "are you a PC or NPC?" "where is the mod at?" "are you bleeding out?" "We are doing the mod at 2 PM "
Laws are actual followed *gasp* and enforced by the pc populace.
Game is treated alot like a boffer fight club
Near 100% "US vs THEM" mentality PVP is fairly uncommon

The not so hot

Much like Epoch this game is pretty heavy on the cash front. Annual membership, Meal plan and events can add up.
0 and I mean GOD DAM 0 RP skills are in this larp, no production no appraisal, no NOTHING
Highly restricted on what you can be. If you get something awsome they won't let you pc it for long.
Expiry dates. Everything has em, Alchemy, Weapons, Armour, Magic books, Rituals EVERYTHING has a finite date of when it goes "poof" This makes obtaining vast stores of goods extremely hard to do.

The Verdict

Nero Anon is a fun larp too play in if you don't enjoy the RP aspect as much but LOVE the combat aspect With there international network you can build a pc extreemly quickly. While I prefer more of a heavy rp larp, Many will find this larp enjoyable. a 7 out of 10.
