Having done almost exactly "killer" on a college campus (and having had conversation with police officers about it), there are ways to do it. I wouldn't recommend high school, though.

As a person who LARPS extensively (DON'T JUDGE ME!), I can say that already existing rule sets of rule-based LARPS (as opposed to actiopn-based LARPS) tend to bog down in combat already. GURPS, with all it's modifiers and options, would make a TERRIBLE LARP. That, and dice are a ****** way to resolve things in LARP.

Larp rules should be simple. One-off abilities, Chops, Automatic Powers, are the way to go.

Given the current news and hullabaloo about guns currently going on, right now I wouldn't reccomend it at all.

Thanks guys, we LARP in Monterrey, Mexico ... I know KILLER but I feel need a little more for a large group of old larpers

Deadlands with the hex cards on the other hand might be cool

Castle Falkenstein is great for LARPS
It uses a deck of cards. You can have a long, on going plot OR one-shots. Magic can be tailored to an area (This area has more Emotional Mana, this area more Physical, frex).

And you can dress in steampunk attire. How cool is that?

Y'know, I'd love to LARP in several of SJG's worlds.

Yrth for one. The Cabal for another.

I'm sure the Gloranthan based LARPs have helped to maintain enthusiasm for that world and they've been repeated across the world (UK, US, Australia and Germany).

A good set of LARPs written for SJG's settings would be a boost as well as fun!
