Modern day
This page is for games where the setting is set in the modern day. This will include modern fantasy games, modern horror, zombie survival, alternate history etc
Altered Reality
"Altered Reality" is a modern contemporary larp set in a world where technology has failed, starvation and disease is rife and inhuman creatures stalk the land. After two plagues which robbed Britain of law, order and essential resources, it is up to the various player groups to work together or fight each other in order to survive, or even begin to rebuild a new society.
The annual events are self-catered camping, focusing on character development and role-playing opportunities. A skill tree system allows for individual character progression and we want players to help direct the plot and game development through their own actions and decisions.

Forsaken LRP
A year has passed since the first corpse twitched and then rose from a mortician’s table in a central London hospital. Twelve months since the screams of the pathologist were silenced as his throat was torn to shreds. Three hundred and sixty five days since the pathologist’s mutilated cold carcass steadied itself before taking a scalpel to a ward nurse.
That is one rumour among the millions of accounts from around the world of how the end began.
Overnight the world was in disarray, no country was spared the horror of the walking dead murdering the living. Civilisation didn’t take long to break down, paranoid and selfish, the living turned on each other in the blink of an eye.
In the early days as the living fought the possessed dead some claim to have seen Angels clad in gold and white fighting side by side with those making final stands at sites of worship around the world. According to the rumours they battled for days trying to protect those sheltering within, blood soaked wings stretched out wide.
Religious leaders called it the end of days, proclaimed that the voices spewing vile promises were those of the dead or minions of the Devil himself. If this is The Rapture many were left disappointed, the gates of Heaven did not open, the faithful and those without sin did not rise. No matter faith or standing all suffered the same fate as the hordes descended upon them, bolstering their ranks as the newly deceased rose whispering the same vile decree.
Scientists blamed a viral agent coupled with a mass hysteria. In truth none were able to survive long enough to confirm theories. For those who survived the first few weeks the puzzle of who or what was controlling the murderous dead became irrelevant.
Only one fact remains, the Earth has been forsaken.
There was no mercy shown as the rotting hordes decimated civilisation. Humanity, once the masters of their domain, have been reduced to small bands of desperate survivors hiding in fear from the walking dead.
The rotting dead now stalk the living, whispering the same foul words of damnation and torment. The litany may provide clues to what foul darkness now controls the animated dead but so far nobody has managed to piece it together.
As the New Year begins the living lay scattered and broken in small groups, families and friends. Those with no will to live having lost all of their loved ones have started complain of voices in their heads and are acting very strangely. The brave who have the will to live now scavenge in the ruins for food, supplies and an answer to ridding the world of the possessed dead.
With the possessed dead hunting the living, merely surviving is not an option, a solution must be found before the last of civilisations bounty ceases to exist.

Insomnia LRP
Insomnia LRP is a horror-survival game designed to be as immersive as possible. Therefore, it is not suitable for those under 18 years of age, due to elements of a disturbing nature and the stress which can be put upon the player from lack of sustenance, hydration or sleep. You will typically begin with only the clothes on your back and any medication required, making the game ideal for new players who do not have much kit (yes, LARP kit can get pricey). Plot will not be revealed before the game and you will go into the game blind for the most part, with only a starting brief to explain how you got to where you are. Weapons, food, and water are all to be obtained during the game. Our events focus on elements of horror, survival, atmosphere, suspense and the occasional bit of gore where relevant.
Every Insomnia LRP event is bespoke and to date there is no overlying campaign. Additionally, players are either themselves or are given specific archetypes to play by the game team, depending on the scenario, which allows for players to roleplay effectively together.
Our events are fully immersive, which means that is there is no out-of-character time once the game has started until the end of the event. Disturbing occurrences are likely and can happen at any time, day or night. Our short events last for a period of 24 hours and our standard events last for 48 hours. The rule system is light and pretty self-explanatory, most of it coming down to common sense.

Kent Isles of Darkness
Kent Vampire the Requiem & Changeling the Lost is an ongoing monthly parlour Larp set in the World of Darkness. Running the first Sunday of every month out of the University of Kent, we welcome those with little to no experience of larping, as well as those who have experienced the modern urban fantasy and supernatural horror of the World of Darkness before and lived to tell the tale.
We are entering the final year of this Chronicle and plan a new Chronicle in September 2020. This is the perfect time to try out the society and game style for the chance to begin at the beginning in 2020 with refreshed story and characters. Our focus is on collaborative storytelling and a chance to live out your character’s experience in this dark mirror world hidden behind the one we know.
Changeling - With the power of the Seasons crumbling and the True Fae venturing closer into the Hedge than ever before, driven from their fortresses, factories, and dance halls by an unknowable force, the Free Lost are required to make increasingly uncertain bargains and contracts with those they used to call enemy in order to keep at bay the madness at their Hollow door, and within themselves.
The very concept of human imagination might be at stake but there are mysteries to be solved, new friends to be freed, and picnics to be eaten before this prophesied last stand at Camlann. Will the strongest story of Britannia prove true, or will the cycle begin once again?
Requiem - Into the increasingly faithless 21st Century, the Kindred of Kent have birthed a miracle, the resurrected Black Saint Agnes. With the Monarchy in exile and the political machinations of elders largely ignored by neonates who just want to enjoy their Unlife, Kent’s Carthian Council has been a stable influence for years. This miraculous tip in the scales of power could spell absolute disaster for the status quo and not everybody relishes the idea of being saved.
Vampiric nature is in flux. Is in answer to be found in Science, or in Faith?
Dates: First Sunday (on the first full weekend) of every month at University of Kent, Canterbury. Cost: £1 per game, or £12 to fully join the Society for the year

Lost - Blackburn IOD Changeling
In the world of Changeling the lost you were once human, but that was a long time ago. Before the fae and Arcadia took you. Now the world around you has changed, you yourself have changed. You can't go back to their place, you WON'T, if you play your cards right. You now dwell in The Hedge, a strange boundary between worlds, and the one place you can truly hide.
Welcome Changeling.

Norwich Sabbat
Norwich Sabbat is a Vampire the Masquerade game played using the Laws of the Night revised rules, non-contact with challenges resolved using rock-paper-scissors.
Players play the roles of vampires in the Norwich sect of the Sabbat, fending off the Camarilla and various supernatural horrors while striving to prevent Gehenna (and Cthulhu). Emphasis is on pack play; there is usually at least one combat encounter a night, but non-combat builds are also viable if you prefer a more investigative style of play
