Toucher & Rich Go LARPing On Boston Common

BOSTON (CBS) -- LARPing is serious business.

Like, seriousserious business.

To get an idea of just how serious life is for those who partake in live action role playing (LARP, for short, of course), Toucher & Rich sent Nick Gemelli to Boston Common last weekend to talk to some folks at the Dagorhir Battle Games.

To get an idea of what goes on at such an event, here are some pictures.
