Ascendancy LRP
Ascendancy LRP is a Live Role Playing system set on several continents. Each continent has its own unique flavour, which means there are a huge variety of types of characters that can be played within the system, from fey from Faerie or ninja masters from the Five Thunders to pirates from Archipelago or religious zealots from Salem, and everything in between.
Ascendancy LRP is set in a period spanning from the stone age to a period roughly equivalent to the early 1800s.
Our events are 24 hour time in, non-linear fest style events, with player-driven multi-layered plot lines. We are very keen to include personal plot which revolves around individual characters alongside the major plot which everyone can get involved in. This, along with the friendly attitude of players and crew alike and the fact that even the most basic starting character is "hard" enough to be useful, means it is very easy to get involved from day one

BathLARP
The Kingdom of Exiles is more settled than it once was, but the borders are still under threat from all sides and there are always less savoury types who need to be dealt with that come from within. To deal with these problems there are the patrols; small groups of individuals from all walks of life who band together to save lives, find glory, and collect some really weird stories of what they've encountered...
BathLARP is a High Fantasy, high combat, battleboard linear system that runs practically every Sunday of the year in Bath. Due to ties to the University club they run out a new campaign for new members starting in October and finishing in June; they also run three residential events per year, plus any number of tavern nights. The style is mixed - games can be anything from horror to humour to high adventure and everything in between.

Chaosgate
The town of Chaos Gate was built around the ancient relic of the same name, many attempts were made to dispel, barricade and destroy the infernal gateway but nothing worked and at random intervals creatures from beyond still appeared and laid waste to the surrounding lands.
An adventuring party nearby became ambushed by a necromancer and his retinue, the resulting combat drew the attention of a nearby green skin patrol which also became involved, this became a three fold combat situation which erupted into bloodshed, to make matters worse… The chaos gate opened, hordes of unspeakable tentacled and clawed monstrosities poured through and hearing the battle slithered and charged into the fray. The three previous groups weary from fighting saw the charging creatures and hastily agreed to unite as one and stay off the hell spawn beasts, eventually slaying the fiends and chasing off the rest. At this moment, a powerful sorceress arrived at the tail end of the fighting. After long talks, the rabble made a pact that they would put aside their differences and defend the realm by guarding the gate…
Many years later…
The town of chaos gate stands, it’s one golden rule- regardless of your race, alignment, or religion, as long as you are seen to be guarding the gate and defending the realm, you will always be welcome here with a roof over you head with no cost except your sword arm when it is needed. This of course has interesting consequences as many nefarious characters and creatures may roam the land causing trouble but escape hounding out by abiding by the golden rule… However once outside of the town borders… Well that’s another story...

Darken Vale
Darken Vale is a fantasy genre Live Action Roleplay (LARP) system. It is set in a world that will seem familiar to enthusiasts of fantasy literature, movies and roleplay games. It draws inspiration from all of these sources and strives to be as inclusive as it can in allowing new players to create and play characters drawing inspiration from their favourite book, film or game.
In this way, Darken Vale’s simple and flexible system aims to be able to say ‘yes’ to a player in most instances, so that they can feel rewarded for creative character design, roleplaying and group interaction. Of course, there have to be clear and unbending examples of where ‘no’ has to be stated within the rules. Darken Vale prides itself on its serious commitment and clear guidelines concerning system safe play, player health and safety and group safeguarding issues.
Within the simple but flexible rules system, players can experience LARP gaming which is easy to learn and enjoy. Players of all ages participate in the events, and all levels of LARP gaming experience (or none whatsoever) are catered for and welcomed!
Rules detailing how combat, spellcasting and player professions are governed provide the ‘crunch’ of the rules set. Attributes and abilities for player race and class provide differentiation and flavour. After that, it is down to the individual player to come up with their unique, compelling and personal ‘Player Character’ (PC), who they will act out and ‘roleplay’ during a Darken Vale event.
Player Characters interact with Non Player Characters (NPC), supporting cast members and ‘extras’ who are the antagonists of the game and help move the plot along, provide combat opponents or interesting people to talk to.
Using these tools, the Elders, or Darken Vale’s plot creators and rules arbitrators, will weave stories where the PCs are the protagonists, the heroes of the piece. Centre stage, top of the bill, they must make decisions, talk and fight their way through tasks and challenges, and ultimately, stay alive. As these characters grow and earn Experience (XPs), they will increase in power, skill and ability, and ultimately become more powerful.

Fields of Illusion
"As the nights draw in, the weather getting colder, the howls of the wolves, the cries of the animals becoming longer and nearer, there are rumours and scout reports of half eating bodies, all different races and animals and of the parts that remain, some have an extreme lack of blood.
Some say it could just be the lack of food in the harsh weather, others think there is more of a sinister hand at work. Druids and Soothsayers speak of an ancient rite coming to pass, coming into fullness after the next 6 phases of the moon.
The land needs new heroes to step forward and heals its wounds after the recent blight. It has claimed many of its old guard and heroes. The populace and the land suffered greatly and the talk of this new camp, which seemed to appear from nowhere, has done much in aiding this process. Maybe our hope for salvation lies within their ranks and can raise us from the ashes once more."
Fields of Illusion is a high fantasy Live Action Roleplay Game based in Winkleigh, Devon. Within our Realm, players can choose their own path, be it knight, elf, orc or almost any creature you can imagine. With our custom rule set, you can enjoy the freedoms of a world that has never been explored, attend adventures to the surrounding lands outside of the camp, or you can stay within the 'safety' of the camp boundary.

Five Kingdoms
‘Five Kingdoms’ is a game of high-fantasy, magic and the unimaginable horrors of a fallen God. Everything you could imagine from a fantasy game; from magical races, to evil necromancers, from dragons and goblins to stolen treasure hoards.
Five Kingdoms is a fest style game, with a main over-arching storying line, that of securing a lost artefact in order to save the known world and its inhabitants. Like most ‘Eye-Larp’ games, this game has grown organically, with multiple strands of narrative emanating from character actions.
Our world is a vast expanse of varying climates, from ash-deserts and festering swamp-land, to lush forests, jungles and frozen mountain ranges. Amidst these lands, we find pockets of civilisation, each as wondrous as the next – offering countless adventures, artefacts and adversaries.
Like all first games, everyone will be finding their feet, both as players and as characters – as we journey across the lands of the known-world we will find all manner of friend, foe and foray into the unknown. So grab your shield and your spell book and embrace this fully immersive story, where you will create as much of the world and occupants as you want – smite the undead, save the village and slay the dragon – as with all our games; you get out what you put in. I look forwards to sharing the road with you.

Forest Argent
The Forest Argent takes its inspiration from such things as “The Forest Argent” of Arthurian tale; quite directly from the forest in “The Magician’s Nephew” or the strange Fey forests where turning the wrong corner can lead you to somewhere completely different…
For some of the races involved they remember a time when the Forest Argent was available before in a limited way, it was hundreds, or thousands of years ago.
The Forest is incredibly difficult to get to if you are TRYING but certain people seem to fall into it with depressing frequency, why these people are chosen is a mystery. Maybe they are just lucky….
Space and time in the Forest Argent is rather fluid, days and years can pass differently between the worlds attached to it and travel does not always take the same amount of time.
The only people who actively live in the Forest Argent are the Crusaders, but there are also rumours of monsters. Strange beasts that meander through the Forest with strange purposes and unknowable agendas

Four Pillars LARP
In a land divided by politics and blood, peace rests on a knifes edge…
The land of Ásaterra, once a powerful empire, was divided by civil war nearly a hundred years ago. Now the land has been divided between the four warring factions, who rule Ásaterra through the High Council, which contains one representative of each faction. However, although there is a semblance of peace and cooperation in order to maintain a united front against any neighbouring countries ready to swoop down at any show of weakness, old wounds run deep and there is still deep distrust between several of the factions.
You have been chosen to represent your faction as part of a reconnaissance group. Your task; to maintain relations with other factions whilst secretly carrying out your own faction’s mission.
