10:00 a.m. Game On! Characters come alive! When you arrive, check in with the census takers, form teams, and begin the Warrior Training Competition. At the end of the day, there will be Mob Rootball! As you may know, this “game” was first played between Guilder and Westar in the year of 906. It was used to settle a dispute between King Verimeer of Guilder and Empress Charlena of Westar over the boundary along their southern border. …
A Note from Stryder (Then the real characters have their say below): I am so looking forward to kicking off the 2017 season of LARP! As noted, this first event will be a Falton Festival. How is that different from a regular LARP (whatever regular means)? This will be a series of events, competitions, dances and games. The whole day will be like a combination of the festivals that we have when Quest Shawn Mark sounds …
What have you done for Falton lately? Yesterday, Stryder built “furniture” for the Salty Broth Inn. This is the newest addition to our humble town. Please drop by soon to share a tale, to plan a deed, or to hire some help. What’s said at the Salty Broth Inn, stays at the Salty Broth Inn! If things go right, we’ll even be serving our special, YANHDLI Brew pronounced “Yan-Handle”. It stands for “You Ain’t Never …
60 degrees in January — we should be LARPING!!! Captain John Sterling Beauregard got some new weapons for his birthday, so we dressed for some pictures today and of course enjoyed a little combat. Hopefully Christmas, birthdays, and perhaps a personal hobby have added to your LARP gear. About the census… like I wrote in my comments, last year we made a push to upgrade our costumes, and everyone did a WONDERFUL job! For the …
“As the conquered territories of the Holy Roaman Empire have increased, it has become necessary, for purposes of taxation and military strategy, to conduct a census of the entire Empire. Stations will be established in every major city, including the recently acquired cities of Konstantonoble, Mosscow, Lundun, Gonedoor, and Falton. All peoples in the empire, both indigenous and citizens, are required to travel to the nearest city to be counted upon the 18th of March. …
Since you are asking for LARP gear this Christmas (right!?!), we thought you’d like to know when you’ll get to use all your new goodies, so here’s the plan for next year… We’ll have two of the normal LARP’s, and two “Falton Festivals”. What, you ask, is a Falton Festival? Why it is only the greatest shindig this side of the Misty Mountains! It will share many similarities with the LARP town festivals that we …
The Ohio Renaissance Festival is going on for the next three weekends (Oct 8, 15, 22). Those who enjoy LARP may enjoy this Festival as well. For information, you can visit http://www.renfestival.com/ The Good: The costumes will be inspirational. Some of the shows are very entertaining. The handcrafts and wares for sale are beautiful. It is a fun setting to show off a LARP costume. The Bad: While it is geared toward families, this is attended …
It has been so long, I’m not sure anyone cares… but what happened at the last LARP? The day began with a town meeting in which we heard a speech from our Roaman Imperator, Dimitri. He invited us to enjoy the new improvements Roam had brought to the town. Falton Tower had been reinforced to become a substantial fortification. There was now a coliseum built on the hillside, and flowing water had …
A Blacksmith! A Bank-uet!! The Grim Reaper!!! Tomorrow is going to be an awesome day!!!! Of course, this is rain or shine, heat or cold — only pretend LARPers stop for weather 🙂 (We will have a couple of electric fans running in Falton, and we will have popsicles to help chase away the heat.) BE your character. Help one another BE their character. See previous posts for suggestions for making it “real”. Then, be …
I hope this posts correctly… We have done an excellent job with our weapons. We have done an excellent job with our costumes. Let’s now tackle our role playing. Please scroll down to the posting, “Are you ready to take it up a notch?” to see what I’m talking about. For Saturday, because of the heat, we will make battles and questing shorter, and our festivals longer. As such, this will be an excellent opportunity to …
