It Varies

What Makes Your Events Friendly to New Players?

Many reasons really. Beyond the complete envelope of science fiction, horror, and fantasy we pride ourselves on welcoming all people everywhere and giving them a safe space to play and escape from the real world. We also are very SAGA ( Sexual and Gender Acceptance) orientated. The world is a scary place, better to face fake fears to gain the courage to face the ones in the real world.

How Frequently do you run events

Once a month; and no players don’t need to attend every event. We tend to not do game in from December to February, due to winter months here in Canada.

What are the facilities like?

In the middle of a rules update and site relocation, once we find a workable site, we will be running games again.

Tell us anything else you would like to about Your Game World, and How Your Events Work

A boffer LARP that includes elements of horror, science fiction and fantasy as meat to a post apocalyptic skeletal frame work, it is set in an alternate reality timeline, everything changed in 1947. Roswell is more than just a conspiracy theorist’s wet-dream, it is a nightmare come to life, and the war of the worlds is no longer a great story that Orson Welles terrified the world with. It is a war-time mentality, “every man for themself” meets “we have to work together or none of us will survive.” There are built-in mechanics that create discourse amoungst the various Factions, which can, on occasion erupt into violence.

At the moment, we run day events, and have NPC shifts called Rift watches, where everyone gets a chance to experience the world from “behind the curtain”.
