Just imagine:
You feel like going out to the local game store to check out new merchandise and have an evening to yourself. You pull out a small badge with what looks like a persona card inside of it. You stick it to your belt loop, shirt...etc. and head out. When you arrive you are greeted by the employee at the counter and you walk around the store.
Then you see it, another player with a badge on that looks a lot like yours, only it has a different looking persona. You walk up "in character" and say: "I am Kevin Dash, of her majesty's royal army." The other person says: "Name's Josiah, from Crow's foot ,Arkansas....and I want your head boy." Then you cut to a duel fought out back by these to "immortals".
Using Highlander cards and a nifty little system I cooked up, you could "play" out the duel and handle combat resolution much like the card game. It is pretty fast paced, but basically... when you take the other guys head, you take his "homemade persona" card for his immortal and show it to the Gamemaster later in the week to prove your kill. With several players running around in the same town, things could get interesting. And duels would not be limited to game stores... if you're man (or geek) enough, you could have fights all over the city and go into different towns with other games and take on other players...
So that is my LARP vision...
