About Me

I ran a Nerf club from 2018 to 2020 which inspired me to start researching and developing different game modes. Currently I play with/ help admin a local club in Maryland.

 

The more I researched the various rules that people were using the more I felt like making this website. My hope is that this will become a good resource for the Nerf community.  I will say that I initially received a lot of inspiration from the game modes that Ben from Rochester Parkour created but also dived into many rule sets from clubs throughout the United States.

​

Personally, I really like games that have some kind of theme and have objectives other than shooting the other players. There are quite a few game mechanisms available and it's interesting to see the variety of ways in which they can be combined. In addition, I enjoy the diverse field setups people are using since Nerf can be played almost anywhere.

​

Oddly enough I didn't grow up with Nerf blasters, I guess my parents never wanted to buy them for me, but I absolutely love playing with them now. I've always been interested in shooting sports. When I was really young it started with blanket forts and sock balls. Eventually, I moved to inexpensive airsoft guns and then to paintball once I turned 16. Paintball was a lot of fun but there are a lot of things I found I didn't like about it. For instance, the cost of paintball is so much more than Nerf. Back in the 2000's, I typically spent around $50 ($10 field fee, $35 for ammo, $5 for air) every time I went paintballing which severally limited my ability to play regularly. In addition, I typically found that most paintball games ended up being team deathmatch with rarely any other type of objective. Hence my move to Nerf.
