I must say that the appeal of Jessica Alba as a succubus half-vampire sorceress is nigh limitless.

Numbers 6 and 7 of the advantages are blatant lies. RPGers don't have girlfriends.

OR, if they do have a girlfriend she is most likely their fiancee.

So what's the difference between a living RPG and a LARP?

Living RPG's are tabletop games that have persistent storylines across many tabletop games.

LARP's are where you take a more physical role in roleplaying your character, and can or can not be persistent across many LARP's.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)
