Goblin Ambush

Goblin Ambush, March 2018 A tale by Sir Williams We knew the goblins were coming, we just didn’t know when. My men and I were on the outskirts of town when it happened. I caught the motion out of the corner of my eyes, turning I heard someone shout, “They are coming! The goblins are coming!” Drawing my sword I yelled, “To arms, to arms! We are under attack!” I readied myself.  I could see the …

Warning from King Phillip

The Watch just delivered this blood-stained letter from the nearby kingdom of Brickham Heath: Though communications betwixt our kingdoms have been sparse in recent generations, the ancient alliance between our peoples during the Wars of the Vigils has come again to my memory. In times such as these, I remember the tales my father once told me of our forefathers that were slain together. As my own subjects have been brought low by the growing …

New Pages on TorchLightLARP.com

To start down the path of wrapping your mind around Steampunk Western, check out the new pages entitled, well… “Steampunk Western”, and “Steampunk Western Pictures”. This may happen as early as the March LARP, so you may want to start assembling your costume.  But, you’ll actually get to vote on which LARP(s) will be Steampunk Western — more on that later.

Happy Birthday & Merry Christmas!

Thank you for helping us celebrate Sweet Rayne’s sweet sixteen.  There was wonderful food and snacks (seriously — there were cream cheese filled chocolate chip cookies dipped in chocolate!!), and games, and crafts, and carols at the spinet, and the coolest dancing in which I’ve ever participated (even better than a tribal dance!), and intimate conversations, and uproarious conversations with sixty of the most wonderful people on the planet.  Together we blessed the house, the …
