A Whimsical Tale of Cunning and Derring-Do

Whimsy, colour and costuming can be oh so much fun...
We're currently considering another LARP in a different style to the vampire LARP you can see over on the Current Game Schedule Page in the bar above.  Where The Dark Before Dawn is a game of horrifying intrigue, this game will be playful and adventurous.  Where The Dark Before Dawn is a game using the admittedly complex Vampire: the Requiem rules (with simplified rules on the character sheet, but still), this game will give players only a couple skills or abilities to use.  Where The Dark Before Dawn is a carefully plotted game with cunningly defined connections and antagonisms between the characters, in this game of whimsy the players will draw their character goals from one of six hats.

While much of this game of whimsy is still in the very early developmental stages, I can tell you this.  Each player will be placed in a faction determined by their costuming in this Changeling-esque game with humans in regular streetwear; spring courtiers in vintage (1920s - 1950s); summer courtiers in medieval wear; winter courtiers in gothic or emo clothing; and autumn courtiers in steampunk wear.  Each hat is tied to one faction and each hat will have themed goals on slips of paper within it.

This should make for a suitably fun, chaotic and entertaining game for all involved.
