Alma Mater LARP
It is the year of our Lord, 1536.
The convent of Whitwood Abbey, dedicated to the Nurturing Mother (Alma Mater), has stood on this spot for nearly three hundred years. For you, the religious sisters who dwell within, it provides a protection; a vocation; a routine - and above all a strict Rule of life.
The great mother Church provided well-born ladies, like you, a shelter outside of the cultural norms of marriage and motherhood. In return, you provide spiritual connection by reciting the psalms, and by following the ancient laws of stability and obedience.
From time to time, your obedience would be assessed by visiting Church officials; but your Abbey has never been found wanting.
But times are changing. The King, Henry viii, battled to end his first marriage for years. The dispute between the King and the Church allowed powerful men into the government - men whose goal is Protestant reform. The new Queen has brought this closer.
You are now - whether you will or no - part of a new church, the Church of England.
There is no certainty. There is no stability. There is to be an inspection.

Beyond Ragnarok
Midgard, the ancestral home of Humanity has been isolated from the Higher Realms of Alfheim, Asgard, Svartaflheim and Vanaheim for over 200 years since the events of Ragnarok took an unexpected turn.
Hel and her forces of Niflheim, known as the Feigr, overwhelmed the forces of Asgard by defying prophecy and bringing destruction to all in her path. Gods, Valkyries, Einherjar, Humans and Jotunborn (bestial creatures not loyal to Hel) fled across the Bifrost to the relative safety of the Higher Realms. Heimdal, wounded from his battle with Loki stayed behind and destroyed the Bifrost, cutting off Midgard from the Higher Realms and ensuring the safety of all who resided there.
Since then the Aesir, Vanir, Alfar and Svartalfar have lived together with the Human and Jotunborn refugees, and societies upon these worlds have changed and adapted to their new normality.
Now, for reasons unknown, the Bifrost has reformed, reestablishing the connection between the Higher Realms and Midgard.
You, as a representative from your home world, have been chosen to travel down to Midgard, to find out what happened, and reclaim the ancestral home of Humanity. You will camp together with other members of your nation, which will reflect the culture of your home world. You will face many challenges, battling monsters and the forces of Hel who now rule over Midgard. And most importantly, YOU WILL LEARN TO USE MAGIC, PREVIOUSLY ONLY THE REMIT OF THE GODS (rulebook magic skills).
You can play as an Alfar, Human, Jotunborn or Svart, depending on your Home World choice, and your intentions may be honourable, or they may not. Want to be a religious zealot, an assassin, a proud warrior, or a dedicated smith - go for it! The game is mostly PvE, but PvP is also permitted, so if you want to to climb the political ladder by nefarious means, you can!

Blood Red Roses
Originally set as The Wars of the Roses (1455– 1487) the game has since developed in to its own original setting. Many fashions, styles and attitudes in the game are still taken from this period. The world is a mid-low, dark fantasy parody of our own set in the ‘League State’ of Algundy under Arch-Duke Harold. Algundy is a land recently rent by civil war. Beset by evil, both mortal and otherwise, this is a land of violence and humanity.
Magic is shunned and feared, it is evil with it’s practitioners hunted down by The Church of the ‘Grey Lady.’.
Alchemists advance the use of terrifying new weapons using a new black powder. The Lost (undead) walk the land in many terrible and horrific forms. The Evil moves in from the east it’s magical tentacles reaching into the hearts of men and women the League over. Into this world we invite you to bring a hero or villain of your own creation.

Corpus Christie LRP
Corpus Christie LRP is in development. The current plan is that we will run the first event in November 2019, for a maximum of 20 players. We can’t make it any larger without losing the Agatha Christie country weekend feel. It will be set in a lovely house in the country, circa 1923, where the Princess Irina Volynsky, an exiled Russian aristocrat, has invited a number of her nearest and dearest friends, families and enemies. She is a woman with a number of deceased husbands, a lot of enemies, and a lot of money, and a collection of mysterious artefacts from around the world. What could go wrong?
The game will be a mix of classic Christie whodunit, combined with unsettling horror, madness and probably your imminent demise.
The cost will be £200 for the weekend, which includes food and accommodation. You’ll have to share rooms, but it’s small rooms, not dorms and we hope to make the food tasty.

The Dark Door
Since 1993 The Dark Door has been running horror based live role-playing events set within the Cthulhu Mythos.
Set in the 1920's, players take on the role of investigators of the macabre collectively pitting their wits (and nerve) against the dark forces at play. Our aim is to scare and entertain participants while they uncover arcane secrets and do battle with a pantheon of powerful beings from beyond the stars! During play you will interact in character with other players and "non-player" characters, some trustworthy and some not so. Clues will be found, mysterious secrets uncovered and beasts summoned. Many will surely die, though the dead often prove to be somewhat animated!

Dumnonni Chronicles
Dumnonni chronicles is a live role-play group that bases its games on Celtic / dark ages mythology tradition and fashion but stylised and enlarged to create a heroic but realistic feel.In Dumnonni the look and feel is re-enactment meets fantasy and we like to think that our players spend some time and thought on ensuring that there kit and costume fit well with the setting.
We think that good costume and good role playing go hand in hand to create both believability and atmosphere. Our games endeavour to be accessible to players that enjoy many different aspects of the game. We like to think that we can guide a plot where both thought and action are equally important and so caters to a broad range of desires.
The period that we draw inspiration from is 200 BC to 900 AD allowing a large scope of social and cultural background .There is also a mythological slant to our games that broadens this further.
We run "low fantasy” games were although the fantastic is accepted it is handled in a rational way. Our aim is to run a good story with a feel of authenticity to the era with fantastic and even comedic elements…Just like all the most well read and entertaining accounts of the time.

The Good, The Bad and the Dead
The year is 1849 and the new world of the Americas is slowly being tamed. America in which the game is set is a place both familiar and very different. Much like the traditional wild west the gun is king and the gunfighter a legend, Indian tribes still live free beyond the frontier and a man or woman can carve out a reputation and a fortune from the dusty trails.
As a Regulator, you are a gun for hire making a living on the new frontier. Play as a gunslinger or prospector, doctor or preacher your character could be called upon to deal with local bandito attacks to finding a lost Spanish gold shipment.
The game is open to players over the age of 18 and is currently by invite or recommendation of existing players only. We will be running events for around 20-25 players with a strong persistent character driven story focus
