It'll be Murder!

Next Up:

Tapas de Larpas Dos
(Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, May 24th, 2008, 1pm til whenever)

Last year's inaugural event was a Great Success, so we plan on giving it another go this year.

Monkeys, Monkeys, Monkeys--A fun 2 hour LARP where you get to play the monkeys of a unique social experiment. Curious George can be found along with other favorites such as Code Monkey, Space Monkey, Rafiki, the linking armed, Barrel of Monkeys and many many more! This role playing intensive game is for those who want to role play with a sense of humor. Come engage personal primate plotlines, mysteries and intrigue! Run by the author.

Super Villain Academy--Doesn't the title say it all? This will be a playtest prior to running at this year's GenCon--beat the rush! Run by the author.

The Larp-o-Matic--by the Powers of Randomization, Fate, Destiny and the Odd Magic Eight Ball.
An experimental Fête Fatale production with nods to Mike Young.

Queen of Spades--Another one by Shifting Forest Storyworks. M. Islington is a powerful and ruthless criminal with almost as many enemies as criminal connections. A group of these enemies wake to find themselves trapped on a boat in the middle of nowhere with each other, a suspicious letter, and even M. Islington.  Nobody knows how they got there or what will become of them when morning comes. As the night goes on, murder will be committed and secrets revealed. Everybody has a motive and a past they thought they'd left behind.

Registration? Sorry, we're full.

Casting: GMs will send out casting forms for such games as need 'em once we're full. 

Logistics: The location is Whately Manor as usual. It will start Saturday afternoon at 1pm and go until we're done with games. Something in the nature of ordering-in-of-food will take place at a logical point, so bring some cash. The games themselves are free.

Hasta el sabado!

 

 

 

Upcoming Events:

Nasty Rumour #1:

Keep the weekend of October 11th-12th, 2008 clear--there are strong rumours and lots of not-so-idle talk of a British Invasion!!!

Nasty Rumour #2: 

Now, there are those among you who, when we said that Meddling Kids was the last Whately we promised to do, conveniently missed the key word in that statement, "promised." You were convinced our addiction to sawdust and styrofoam beebles was such that we could never go more than a year without a fix. You were wrong. But then, when we took only a single year off before announcing Tomorrow Is Not Enough, you said, "See, we knew you couldn't stay away--we knew it wouldn't be the last Whately." Well, again, we never said it would be. We just said that we are no longer promising to run them every year. But those of you who are expecting us to jump right back off the wagon and do another one this year will be disappointed again. There will definitely not be one in 2008. And 2009 isn't looking too good either. 

But take heart: It is said that on the darkest of nights in foggy Inverness, when the streets are deserted and winds howl through the village hall towers like Big Al himself looking for a dame and a gin, if you listen very carefully you can hear the whispers of the beginnings of a Plan. It is said this plan is black. It is said this plan is cold. It is said this plan involves good souls driven mad by the horrific doom facing the human race, their screams drifting vainly into the depths of space. It is said that this plan involves slime. Lots and lots of slime. And the odd Winnebago. It is said this plan is called The Curse of Whately's Moonbase, and that it may well be launched in 2010!

Watch this space for news. Rumour also has it that planning and construction crews are already forming, so if you are interested in helping out please shoot us a note here.
