Far from the Keep of Mystwood, deep within Carpathia, there is a place no one goes. There are no roads to it. No trails. No hunters’ paths or old cart tracks. It sits beyond thick brush and brambles, hidden so well that most folk have never wondered what lies there at all. It is a nowhere place. But it is not empty.

Something ancient has wrapped that land in a veil of magic. At the outer edge, the enchantment is subtle enough to be mistaken for the natural power of trees, stones, beasts, and earth. Anyone who wanders too near soon finds themselves lost in fog, only to stumble back to where they began.

I (Truax) finished the Quick Start Guide for the Swordhaven Live Action Roleplaying Game. Clocking in at a slim 23 pages including lore and pre gen exemplar characters, it's designed to get someone playing with a minimum of effort. NPCing requires even less.

Swordhaven is a game that is not easily described, though it is broadly a retro science fiction game. You could think of it as Star Trek the Original Series but you have Ring Gates instead of Transporters and no one has even HEARD of the prime directive. Meddle with fascinating and terrifying cultures. Enjoy close encounters with a huge variety of alien creatures, each with their own ecology. Befriend or battle bipeds from the Godlike to barely sapient. Puzzles! Treasure! Spinblades! War!

If you're interested in Larping, check it out. Next event just over a week away on August 16th and 17th.

Hey Everyone! Please note that Set Up day this year has been moved from Saturday April 26 to Sunday April 27, mostly so some of us can sneak off to Silent Night on Saturday. Set up day is a big deal with a busy season and Swordhaven the next weekend. Hope to see you there!

Thank you to everyone who came out to the work day today! There was work, pizza, and gamebucks abound. Most of town is hunkered down for the winter and the new stage is built and in place.
