Nerd FAIL

Edit: It's the largest anime convention held on the East Coast, I think the second largest in the country after the big expo in Cali.

Edit 2: On a related note, anyone who didn't get a chance to pick up a weapon at Dexcon should know that Secret Shop will be selling off their remaining Calimacil inventory at Otakon. I won't be there, but Reona should be able to help you out.

"Ok we can attack... but if we miss, we'll hit the villagers."
"I'm willing to take that chance!"

Things I am no longer allowed to do in an RPG :
31. The backup trap handler is not whoever has the most HP at the time.
73. Not allowed to name my cudgel Ceremonial Whoopass Stick.
74. My thief's battle cry is not "Run And Live"

I wouldn't say it's that much of a nerd fail. Not all anime fans are larpers, and not all larpers are anime fans. I know of plenty of anime fans (otaku's or hikimori's) who I would never wanna see in a LARP. Nothing personal, but some of those rabid fanboys (and/or fangirls) have some major malfunctions. $:-\$ As well as vice-versa for some LARPers I know.

Otakon is 1 of the largest of anime conventions, along with the NY Anime Festival, I-Con (which is more gaming, but has plenty of anime), Anime Boston, NY Comic-Con, etc...
