Those suits look amazing! I think they did a great job. Every time I see these things I'm really impressed by the skill of the cosplayers. Great work indeed!
With that robed chick's miserable face it looks like the Brotherhood of Steel gatecrashed a bunch of fantasy LARPers. Now THAT would be something worth seeing.
Then I recognised that the is robe from the Children of the Cathedral in Fallout 1. God that game was amazing.

Very nice. I've been keeping up with other groups like this over on No Mutants Allowed. There's also a really awesome group LARPing some S.T.A.L.K.E.R. stories over in Ukraine. Seriously, I think they're my favorite so far.
Postapocalyptic games are quite popular in central and eastern Europe.
In Poland we have two big postapo LARPs - Tornado (3-4 days of main game, last year about 150 participants), and Old Town (~3 days, last year about 250 participants). Nothing relevant to general population, but still it's growing quite fast even though one needs too invest way more time and effort than for skiing or skating...
These guys with "power armour" costumes went all out, but in fact postapo is quite an easy topic for LARPs. Tear some clothes, saw them over, add some dirt and duct tape and than maybe some "armour" from tires or sheet metal and viola. Plus it has very big advantage on fantasy LARPs... it doesn't look that gay ;). It's not trying to take players to the time when men wore skirts - but to the time when only badasses survived the fall ;). Also Airsoft allows for way better recreation of fire fights than shouthing "lighningbolt" as a recration of magic.

I am just now getting around to playing Fallout 3 with my undivided attention, and I must say...these are some hardcore people.
And I thought that some of the LARPers that I know in the UK were crazy, but that lot have taken it to a whole new level.
LARPing is interesting, but not for me. I think its cool that gamers have this much passion, to create the something like this.
Show you gaming love, in whatever way appeals to you (within reason).

Let me explain all this a little. I'm one of "Game Masters" of that LARP

No. Players are just players. "Albion" is an informal community of "Game Masters" (or, simply, organizers). And it was a single game last for 2 days, without any continuation.

I don't know much about F3 but our game time supposed to be 15 years after F2.
> Familiar locations such as New Reno and Mariposa have been recreated in an old military base.
That's true. As well as Sierra Army Depot and couple of locations invented by ourselves.
> Great work, you crazy Russians!
Thanks :-)

*tosses Nerf darts* Mini nuke, mini nuke, mini nuke!
Actually, that's probably the only LARP session I'd consider joining.

Judging from pictures it's airsoft and pyrotechnics for firefigts. So no need for make-belive projectiles.
(Well, at least we use ASG and pyro at Tornado.)

Also, game was named "Fallout: Nothing Human", comes from Russian wide-known phrase (my rough translation) "Nothing human is strange for us".
You know, I used to think LARP was pretty extreme in terms of nerdiness (pot calling kettle black, but still), but after seeing Role Models it seems pretty fun. I would totally get in on this, if I but lived a lot closer.
Can someone please Photoshop a VATS display over the header image? I'm too busy to do that at the moment. Besides, you know you want to.
Those suits are really nice, I remmember some people had done this for stalker too '' http://www.reuters.com/news/pictures/rpSlideshows?articleId=USRTXD594#a=2 '' go chek it out its nice too
@Jp4Real:
No, people are different - we're pretty far from Stavropol. Though we have local S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-based games as well, yes.
