Battle of the Alchemists

After the delights of the demonstration by the King’s Falconer, where everyone got to fly a Harris Hawk to the glove they were wearing(!!!), the mystery began to unfold… Bad things were afoot.  The land was sick and Stryder was missing.  One lady shared her grievous story of her dog being turned to bones.  Another told of her garden drying up and turning to dust before her very eyes.

When Time Stopped In Fairy Village

Everything about this weekend’s Larp was exactly what we could hope for: perfect weather, tremendous attendance, a fun story, a formidable villain, delicious food, and all of the other delights we’ve come to know and love. However, Friday night there was a moment that stopped time and brought the essence of the event into beautiful clarity. I was the only one who noticed. No one else noticed because the moment occurred in my head as …

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest…

…and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man. What happened to little Joey Hurkle who was found dead today, apparently from Old Age?  This however warrants more than just a posting on the bulletin board in the obituary section; this warrants an investigation.   Why?  Joey was only eight years old! Perhaps we have rested too long.  A strange “pestilence” seems to be in our land.  We don’t have …

What happened?!?

Ever have so much happening that when it was over, you wonder what happened?  That was the August Falton Festival. There was much revelry as the clans of olde returned to Falton to celebrate liberation.  Represented were the Wolves, Ducks, Boars, and Eagles.  Forts were established, fires were started, flags were stolen, resources acquired, fires extinguished, and opponents were skewered.  May we of Falton never lose our “edge” as a fierce land of honorable warriors. …
