Hi Graham,

I didn't get to DropZone this year. I've heard about some of the WoW
compatible tag systems. I'm very impressed with most of the ones I've
seen (I bought a compatible sensor myself a few years ago).

I agree with your statement about the hobby. It tends to be kept
alive by small committed groups. It is a shame that Worlds of Wonder
isn't still going because they would probably have a message board
system and the LARP community could get in touch with new players
there. At the moment things are very word of mouth.

I didn't realise that a 20 hit sensor is out. You say "we" but who
are "you". In other words where should anyone wanting a 20 hit sensor
go to find out more information? Have you got a website? If you have
you might want to post a link to the page for your sensor.

Thanks for the information on your Southampton games. I don't know if
I can make it down there, but I am definitely interested to know
more. What are the food and accommodation at your games like? (Is it
tents and bring your own food?) Can you post the two dates when you
have them, please.

By the way, welcome to the VE Yahoo! Group.

text out of anything you are replying to so that your post is as
short as possible. This helps reduce the amount that people on dial-
up need to download.
