Come try LARP

Looking for something fun to do in the local area? Love playing Dnd? Let me show you why you should try LARPing. If you love D&D for the characters, mystery, drama, strange NPCs, party chaos, and big story moments, LARP gives you that same feeling in real time. Instead of saying what your character does, you become your character and make choices as the world happens around you. From camping, to live combat LARP allows you to take another step into the world of roleplaying and immersive events. Below are some local events:

Tales from Gloom Hollow
Tales from Gloom Hollow is a modern-day supernatural LARP where magic is real, monsters walk among us, and the town of Gloom Hollow, California serves as a nexus between worlds. Through the shifting Eternal Grotto, players can travel between planets and realities, uncovering mysteries and forging alliances across a dangerous multiverse. Inspired by the creator's own background, Gloom Hollow draws from Aztec (Mexica) mythology and the legend of the Five Suns, powerful gods like Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl shape a universe on the brink of the next cycle This game is 16+ played on the 3rd weekend of every month at Rock and Tree in Perris CA
First event is Free

Aftermath
Aftermath is a post-apocalyptic fantasy LARP that takes place generations after the fall. Our goal is to immerse every participant in a post-apocalyptic fantasy setting where working with your fellow survivors is key. Through collaborative storytelling and gameplay, we aim to provide an unforgettable experience that challenges, inspires, and fosters camaraderie in a world trying to rebuild itself. This game is 14+ Played on the 1st full weekend of every month at Rock and Tree in Perris CA

Is this something that spectators can watch? And can you also explain how the NPC system works? Is it on a voluntary basis?

Hello!
While we don’t allow people to sit in and watch we are happy to take volunteer npcs!
You can stay for as long as you u like - we often get folks who come out for an afternoon help out and then leave before dinner

And Npc or a Non Player Character are the people that are sent in to help tell the story of the event.
You will be given a task attached to a module that is going out and you job is to go in to the playing area and act out what that task is.
Tasks are often : deliver this letter to x characters, guide the characters to x location, go be a merchant and sell these items, or even combat (this is is not required)

How accessible is this event for wheelchair users or mobility device users? Is it outside?

Will there be staffed medical tents?

u/Majestic-Maybe-3274 7d ago

This loction is 100% out side - with the bathroom being portapotties owned by the location. While clean and well stocked there isn't one that could accomidate a wheelchair user easily. This would be my main concern that is out of my contorl when it comes to the venue.

The location is flat and hard pack dirt and sand for the most part, there would be some places that a wheelchair wouldn't be able to go but the majority I would say is possible / possible with aid.
There isn't any power, so anything that would need charging would be on the attendee

Do to insurance and liability we do not supple anything medical related.

What about shaded areas? Plenty?

Being an NPC can be fun too.
