New Games in 2024

A Thoroughly Respectable LARP

In British Society of 1815 there are many young ladies and gentlemen who are seeking to be married, or parents who are seeking to see them so. The Regency demands these manners and social advancements among those of a certain degree of class and elegance. The A Thoroughly Respectable LARP is meant to deal with navigating the restrictive social class system of Jane Austen, intermingled with the difficulties of a military social life.
This is a one-off event open to all, though some of the story threads and characters will be connected to the previous online form of the game that took place during various lockdowns.

And Now My Watch Begins

And Now My Watch Begins is an upcoming one-shot event written by James Dance, Sean Baxendale and The Award-Winning writing duo of Kitty Dobson & Pascal Siddons.. The game is presented by Feast Your Eyes, set in the world of George R.R. Martin’s ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’. This is an unofficial fan event, not connected with HBO, but inspired by the aesthetics created by their design teams.
The game is set late in the year 284AC, shortly after the conclusion of Robert’s Rebellion. Players play as established members of the Night’s Watch, or fresh conscripts. The timeline of the game enables players to play as Targaryen loyalists sent to the wall, or those who have joined the Night’s Watch rather than serve King Robert, as well as more conventional recruits: the desperate and wretched, the criminals of the Seven Kingdoms and those few who still have faith in the order.

Against the Verdant

On 17th April 2024, The Fey decided enough was enough and mounted their final war.
As the Wild Hunt brought desolation to the descendants of Camelot, the Battle was lost in less than a day.
Avalon crumbled and the last resting place of King Arthur was swallowed by the Wild Woods. His fate now rests on the last spell cast by his faithful mentor, Merlin.
6 months later, the survivors of the modern world fight alongside the once human born changelings addled by the Green Realm and the dead that Merlin’s spell awoke. With the world getting wilder, and more lost to the overgrowing forests of the Fey, it is time for humanity’s second wind, or last gasp.
Against the Verdant is a small, pre-apocalyptic LARP in which the modern world is in desperate conflict with the ruthless Fey Wilds. If peace is not reached, what will become of the human (and not so human) race?

Divided We Fall

When the world ended, humanity was presented with a choice: stand together as one or stand alone, each person for themselves. We chose greed, violence and loss. We chose to tear ourselves apart.
The year is 2044 and nothing has been right for a very long time. Society collapsed when a mutated strain of the cordyceps fungus found a way to infect human tissue and turned living bodies into little more than breeding grounds. Infected hosts became silent and withdrawn, then suddenly and inexplicably violent.
Before anyone was able to mobilise a search for a cure, billions across the globe were already dead or infected. Governments crumbled, communications infrastructure fell apart and the power stations went offline. The world became quiet and dark, and only small pockets of survivors remained. Of the roughly sixty-six million inhabitants of England, Scotland and Wales at its peak, perhaps one million now remain.
In this shattered world, death is only ever a single decision away. We made our decision and divided we fell.

Eldritch Isle

Eldritch Isle is looking to be a series of loosely tied together one-shot horror larps that take place over a multitude of time periods, the action of players, their choice, more importantly their deaths will echo back and forth in time.

The first instalment of this series, Eldritch Isle: Dark Waltz, unfolds in the year 1929, just on the cusp of a new decade and in the aftermath of the stock market crash. It’s a peculiar era marked by a blend of optimism and permissiveness. As a player, you will take on the role of one among a diverse group of individuals, each possessing unique skills and varying levels of experience. All have been mysteriously compelled to converge on the enigmatic Saint Pierre Island.
Widely known as a forgotten French isle off the west coast of the Americas, Saint Pierre is essentially under the ownership of the eccentric and reclusive Vanderbilt family. Once prosperous from the whale oil industry, their wealth has dwindled due to its recent collapse.

Shattered Sanctuary

“You Are Not Alone” – I always thought and daydreamed how wonderful it would be to find out that there was something more to the world beyond what we see and hear everyday.
I used to look at the grey cities, unhappy people and listen to the news of a world that seemed worse everyday.
I longed to see unearthly delight in the world, to see the clouds part and something magical shine through. To hear a voice from the ether telling me of beauty and wonder from places I only saw in my dreams.
Then it happened. I saw and felt a presence from a place that shouldn’t exist. I looked upon incredible sights and felt awestruck. It was real and I could hear a song beckoning me there.
Of course I realised too late that “You Are Not Alone” was not an invitation. It was a warning. They want us. We fascinate them. We amuse them. There’s only one place I can go now. I hope it’s safe….”
Shattered Sanctuary is a new one-shot larp , running 7 – 10 March 2025, near Gloucester, in the UK. It’s being organized by Larps on Location, and is designed and organized by Woody Bevan and Laura Wood.
Shattered Sanctuary is an atmospheric larp about what happens to people when supernatural wonders and horrors seek them out, and there’s very few places left to run and hide.

The Dragon’s Hunt

“As the Lord of Winterfell burns alive and his son chokes to death, the King laughs. He does not stop laughing until his face is purple and his nails have clawed bloody stripes into his chest. King Aerys, Second of his name, dies upon the Iron Throne. Prince Rhaegar travels north to his coronation – and brings Lyanna Stark. After being crowned, he takes her as his second wife in the Valyrian tradition at the Great Sept of Baelor.”
Following the success of ANMWB last month, we’ve got two ASOIAF-themed offerings for you. The first being The Dragon’s Hunt written by Ren Stuart, an alternate series of events where King Rhaegar was able to call a council and avoid the first bloom of Robert’s Rebellion. Players take on the roles of the powerful named characters of George RR Martin’s epic, as the Seven Kingdoms vie for power and allegiance in this brave new Westeros.
Expect politicking, ball-gowning and fierce negotiating at Rhaegar’s hunting grounds, far from armies and banners. Just the great and the good, showing their colours and keeping their cards close to their chests.
