DreamLands LARP
The DreamLands is a larp in which player characters come to life inside their dreams. Literally - they wake up when their player character's source body sleeps in some other world, and as a manifestation of a dreamer they get checked into The Last Resort, a friendly facility that is an anchor point inside a giant dream, drawing dreamers to it.
Not all of the DreamLands is so pleasant and stable. There are dangers: gaps in space and time to be explored; anachronistic artefacts of different dimensions to be learned from; echos of the past, nightmares, and other mysterious forces seek to disrupt the peace and destroy the dreamers. Even the Resort itself might have some secrets.
What are DreamLands? And why are all its denizens so certain that the dreamers' 'real world' is ending?
The DreamLands is brought to you by CobblePathGames Ltd. In this LARP, player characters come to life inside their dreams. Literally - they wake up when their player character's source body sleeps in some other world, and as a manifestation of a dreamer they get checked into The Last Resort, a friendly facility that is an anchor point inside a giant dream, drawing dreamers to it.
Not all of the DreamLands is so pleasant, nor stable. There are dangers. Gaps in space and time to be explored. Anachronistic artifacts of different dimensions to be learned from. Echos of the past, nightmares, and other mysterious forces seek to disrupt the peace and destroy the dreamers. Even the Resort itself might have some secrets.
Welcome, Dreamer. We wish you a pleasant stay

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.

Nine Candles LARP
Nine days ago, the world went dark.
Four days ago, THEY came
Nine Candles is a live roleplaying game based on the popular tragic horror tabletop game Ten Candles. It will be run over a day and a half during the weekend of 28th-30th March 2025, at Pardshaw Quaker Centre in the northwest Lake District, UK. You will take on the roles of modern-day people who, by fortune or by fate, have made their way to Pardshaw after the sun went out and THEY began to infest the darkness that swept over the world.
This game will have 18 player spaces, and we are planning to re-run it. The refteam is Kes Ward, Thomas "Weasel" Tyler, Mish Liddle, Cameron Alsop and Avery Wright.
Ticket cost for the weekend with catering and a crashmat sleeping space will be £50 full price or £20 concession. Concessions will be available for students, people whose primary source of income is state benefits (or who have no/very little income due to ineligibility for such benefits), and Quakers aged 18-35. Pardshaw Quaker Centre are also raising funds to improve the accessibility of their site - if you feel financially able to do so, we ask that you make a contribution to them directly of whatever amount feels right to you. We will be organising offsite sleeping in the Travelodges in Workington or Cockermouth for players who request it, and expect this to cost about £30-50 extra to sleep in a proper bed for the weekend
