The Houston Live Action Role Playing Meetup (NERO)

We are a fantasy-based, national Live Action Role Play organization. With chapters throughout the US, we are the local Houston group... and we want YOU to come play with us!
If you've ever watched a 'Lord of the Rings' movie and thought "I'd have done this," or "I'd have said something else," then you are our kinda people! We roleplay fantasy characters (elves, dwarves, orks, even gypsies!) while following an intricate and constantly-evolving storyline.
We have a plot-team that presents a theatrical-quality "world" with which the players interact. Don't care to run a PC? Join Plot and play a wide variety of NPCs!
Are you the creative type? Try your hand at making props and costumes! Build traps that the PCs have to actually disarm! A locked treasure chest that has to actually be picked open! *THAT* is live-action role-play!!
Once you play with us, table-top RPGs and computer games fall to 2nd place. Our role-play immerses you in the world...
So what's the next step? Check out our website - WWW.NEROHOUSTON.COM (tell 'em Joe sent ya!) We have events every month, as well as Fighter Practices and Sewing Days! See the website for details and welcome aboard!!

  • "Hey! Thanks for the shout, it reminded me to actually make a profile. XD Funny (about your friend), that is really quite close to me. I just moved in to Clear Lake Shores and I love it so far, it's a great area. :) Unfortunately no, I haven't had a chance to try out LARPing yet, though it has always sort of intrigued me... and intimidated me at the same time. ;) I used to have many friends who played LARPed back in the day. Currently I've just been stuck doing computer gaming. :("

  • "Welcome, Victoria!! (I have some friends who live in Kemah... Admiralty Way... small world!) So, have you ever done any LARPing?"

    "My name is Victoria and I'm an avid gamer :). I used to play games of any type I could get my hands on but more recently it's been computer and console games. I haven't RPed in many years and miss it. I have a great geeky boyfriend and an 8 month old"
