There are some really fun/complex/interesting characters coming to this next LARP! Thank you for the character info I have received, and for the ones you’ll be sending by tomorrow, so we can weave you into the story. Be sure to include your personal objectives.
As for the evening — there are elements that not even the planning committee knows about!!! Portions of this evening will be remembered for a looooong time… 🙂
As for the Loveland Castle trip — we will dress in our Steampunk costumes.
And in case you’ve been locked in a cage for the past year, here’s the setting for Friday evening:
It is the spring of 1840. Queen Victoria is ruler of England. England controls India. Martin Van Buren is President of the United States. And FaltIron, is in the middle of it all.
FaltIron is a city with a heritage from the medieval days. They are a proud people and many believe they are the cradle of civilization — the breeding stock which formed Britain, and later the United States. FaltIron is located 200 miles from London, England, 200 miles from El Paso, Texas, and 200 miles from Mumbai, India. It is a cross-roads of Cultures, Fashion, Technologies, and Ideas.
This historic town was once called Falton, but it recently embraced the new era of Steam, Steel, and Technology by changing its name from Falton to FaltIron! While we embrace technology, don’t be misled. Electricity is in its infancy. For example, the equivalent of a 9 volt battery would be about the size of a shoe box. The common power source for everything is Steam.
So put on your goggles, your brass, your vest, and your favorite weapon, and join us in the next installment of TorchLight Steampunk LARP!
With a smile on his face,
Davey Rockett
