I prefer fantasy live roleplay to re-enactment, although I've done a bit of that too.
There's something fun about smugly folding your arms and saying a couple of words, and watching the person playing the monster have to crumple as if someone had just dipped their fingers inside their skull and stirred. (Which, in character, is almost exactly what happened.)
Hmmm...think I'd rather get dressed up and hit something, tho' I'll admit I don't really 'get' re-enactment because it's all a matter of speculation anyway and some people get awfully steamed up about the 'right' way to have a battle.
Oh I do that as well- people don't expect the assasin to use a bastard sword. But there's something very satisfying about thumping someone with what amounts to a padded stick.
