1933. Romania. Gazing at the ravens circling the castle's dark spires, you wonder if this will be the place of your undoing. Enter the shadow-haunted world of Midnight Syndicate's latest album.
Description:
1933. Romania. A carriage meets you at the docks. The driver barely utters a word. Villagers quickly disappear from view as you pass. A train whistles in the distance, and you hear the mournful howl of a wolf. Suddenly, all the comforts of civilization seem very far away. Your destination finally appears through the trees, and you look forward to resting by the fire after a long journey. But as you gaze at the ravens circling the castle's dark spires, you wonder if this will be the place of your undoing.... Enter the shadow-haunted world of Midnight Syndicate in this event inspired by their new album, a tribute to classic Universal and Hammer Horror films. Costumes encouraged but not required. For more info, visit our Web site. We keep our player-to-GM ratio low, so you can concentrate on playing, not waiting. New LARPers will find our GMs helpful and encouraging.

It's 1963. Rain obscures your vision as you stumble through the English countryside. Suddenly a castle appears out of the darkness... Join us for an evening of campy frights.
Description:
It’s 1963. Rain obscures your vision as you stumble through the English countryside. Your car, a misfortune of economical engineering, is left far behind. Suddenly, a van splashes you as it races by, too fast to flag down. Lightning splits the sky, and you would swear you saw the glint of... rhinestones? Meanwhile, many miles away, something crawls to the surface of a dark Scottish loch… You press on, hoping to find shelter, for what could be worse than being caught in the wilderness on a dark and stormy night? Suddenly a lantern appears out of the darkness, then a gate, a tower... a castle. Is it safe? Someone thinks so, for there seem to be other travelers arriving at the door. Join us for an evening of campy frights inspired by the music of Midnight Syndicate and the films of Hammer Productions. Costumes encouraged but not required. For advance casting, please visit our website.
