Bands of heavily armed guerrilla troops will soon be sweeping through several counties in rural North Carolina in their regular campaign against the forces of a fictional country known as “Pineland.”

Locals sign up to play indigenous forces while rotating Army troops act as the opposing military of the “Pineland Republic.”

The 1.1 million-acre pineland encompasses most of South Jersey and has been rumored to house a folkloric "Jersey Devil" for more than 250 years, according to the Pinelands Preservation Alliance.

New York City was a perfect fit for Weatherspoon, a point guard from Pineland, Texas.

The writer recently returned to the screenwriting game and adapted his 2003 GQ article about the over-the-top war games in North Carolina into a mini-series called “Pineland” that is now being shopped around.
