There are Boffer construction sessions and club boffers to borrow. Nerf is Boffer's winter component. BSFFAs invade the Pearsons building and spend several hours ducking, weaving and firing nerf guns at each other.

Table Top RPGs Role playing games make up a large part social life in BSFFA, although not required. Games range from D&D to White Wolf (Vampire: the Requiem, Changeling: the Lost, etc), as well as lesser known games such as Shadow Nations. Most first semester games save spaces for first-years, especially people who have never been in games before.

LARP Live Action Roleplaying is is a combination of improvisation and storytelling where players act out the actions of their character rather than describing them.
