ABOUT FANWAR
Fantasy Warplay is a form of Live Action Role Playing developed
over many years of playing and testing out safe and effective
ways to simulate sword play. It grew out of playing in the woods
of Mendocino County, CA in association with the Melville
Montessori School and was influenced largely by Arduin,
Magic the Gathering
and dramatic play. While Fantasy Warplay developed completely
on it's own it owes much in it's most recent developmets to
NERO (New England Roleplaying Organization) who inspired
us to take the game to a level we had formerly only dreamed
of. You will see many rules and procedures that have been adopted
straight from NERO, as NERO is one of the best Live Action Role
Playing groups around and there methods are tried and true.
To NERO, and especially NERO-West, we want to thank you,
and to all of you who are new to the game, please come in, have
a seat by the fire and discover our world. To learn about the
game and how it is played, start with the New
Players Page and then check out the Players
