Dinner to follow. Beyond the Veil Game 3 - Crystal Shards Rules: This game uses an altered version of the 2.02 Live Effects rules. The modified rules can be found here. Location: Malibu Creek State Park Date: Friday, January 18th to Sunday, January 20th Time: Game begins at 7:00PM on Friday, ends at approximately noon on Sunday PC Game Fee: $50* *This game is cheaper than a normal Live Effects event because food will not be provided by game staff. I highly encourage the players to organize "potluck" style meals. NPC Game Fee: $10. Please contact Plot if you wish to NPC. Preparation: We're camping in January, and that means the game site is going to be extremely cold. Please, please, please bring warm clothing and anything else you might need. I will check and post the seasonal rules for fire at the campsite as we get closer to the game date. Lore: A brave group of adventurers recently managed to fight their way through the Citadel of M on the Plane of Ruin to rescue a strange girl named Asphodel. Sent by the Fey, the adventurers still have not discovered exactly what made Asphodel so significant. After the girl's rescue and defeating the Priest of M, as well as many of his "perfected" minions, the adventurers returned to the relative safety of the Wyrd of Avalon. While Salaris and Siyona escort Asphodel to her home, the group finds something unusual - a stone carried by Asphodel seems to react to something in the distance, not far from the girl's homeland. Intrigued, Siyona and Salaris send out a summons for adventurers who might be interested in investigating whatever magic might be calling to Asphodel's stone. More information will be provided at a later time. You may find some clues on the Live Effects forums or through other means.

When: Feb 16th & 17th @ Strategicon Where: Radisson Hotel Los Angeles Airport, 6225 West Century Blvd., Los Angeles, California 90045 (http://www.strategicon.net/) In the summer of 2047, the world went to hell. Tidal waves flooded, communications networks crashed, bombs fell, and zombies infected all they could bite. Many banded together into rough paramilitary organizations to learn to survive. You must complete an audition mission that tests your skills in several different areas, including accuracy, dexterity, cleverness, and combat prowess. This game is a short boffer larp obstacle course that includes shooting Nerf guns, picking simulated locks, foam sword fighting, and role-playing. The course will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Compete against your friends and see who can get the best score. Saturday and Sunday at 7 PM, prizes will be given for the top scores.

Beyond the Veil Game 3 1/2 - Tournament of the Broken Blade Location: Radisson Hotel Los Angeles Airport 6225 West Century Boulevard Los Angeles, CA 90045 310-670-9000 Date: Friday Feb 15th Where: Radisson Hotel Los Angeles Airport, 6225 West Century Blvd., Los Angeles, California 90045 (http://www.strategicon.net/) Time: Approximately 2:00PM to Midnight PC Game Fee: $20 if you want skill points (simply buy the event here ). You may participate for free without skill points. This counts as a day event - the Veil game will only be running Friday to make room for everyone to attend ApocaLARP the following day. I highly encourage everyone to participate in the ApocaLARP game as well. Lore: While the City of Aayara is still severely damaged from mysterious attacks, the time has come for the yearly Tournament of Blades. The Adventurer's Guild has decided to host a replacement tournament outside of the city to uphold the grand tradition, but without the city's mages and priests to keep the combatants safe, the arena matches could potentially be much more brutal and dangerous... Several organizations seem to have taken an interest in the tournament, and will be entering contestants or teams. Adventurers from around the globe have been invited to participate - and travelers are encouraged to watch or try their hand in battle. Gameplay: This is a "plot light" game that focuses on the tournament. There will be significant role-playing opportunities, but there will be few NPC-run encounters and risk will be minimal (but not nonexistent). This is a recruitment event at the convention, and players are encouraged to show off their coolest costumes. More details on the tournament itself will be announced in the future, but there will be prizes. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Camp Josepho Blurb: A 110-acre camp set in a beautiful, remote canyon, in the Santa Monica Mountains with many hiking trails, Camp Josepho is adjacent to Will Rogers State Park and is accessed via Capri Dr. from Sunset Blvd. There is a resident ranger at the camp all year round. ACCOMMODATIONS: The camp is available for use all 7 days of the week. The maximum capacity in camp is 300 people. Facilities at the camp include 2 large camping areas and 5 smaller campsites (all having portable toilets that are conveniently located), a large parade ground, a barbecue area and an Olympic-size pool with showers and changing rooms. There are archery and rifle ranges which may also be used (qualified supervision is required). A campfire circle with amphitheater is available with a gas- fired campfire. There is a large wooden lodge comprising of a hall that has a large stage, a commercial kitchen, a small conference room, and a billiard room. There are restrooms on the first floor and restrooms with showers on the second floor. NOTES: I am currently reserving the lodge for sleeping. We will also be reserving a limited amount of camping space for up to 4 tents for anyone who would prefer to sleep in a tent outside. There will be specified in-character and out-of-character parts of the lodge. We will not be reserving the rifle range, the archery range, or the swimming pool at this time. Maybe in the future. The road to the campsite will have a gate with a specific code to get in. I will post the code as soon as possible. The road will also be closed at certain hours; I will post more information on the road as soon as possible. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

My list of things I have yet to do is long, and instead of focusing on what is yet undone, I have decided to focus on possibilities. As a result I am building a time machine. Not in the normal sense mind you but one that will halt the Earth's rotation for several hours giving me additional time in my day. It is my hope that this will give me enough time to pack the car before the sudden halt of the planet causes it to collapse in on itself killing life as we know it. But I'll have more time in my day, which is what's really important. right? Right? Important things you should know if you are planning on heading there. 1) Bring Chains for your car It is scheduled to snow in Big Bear on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Plan for the worst. Drive during daylight if possible, and be cautious. 2) It's snowing. plan for it. There will be some combat... all combat takes place outdoors. I am more likely to time combat for when it snows due to the coolness of it. Plan for it. 3) Experience for Feb's game If you paid for the Veil game in Feb. you are welcome to claim the experience for the game regardless if it is credited in the online system. No write-up credit is given for the tournament and experience is granted to only those who paid the $20 online. 4) Carpool There is a limited amount of parking at the site. If we overflow we'll be sending people to the grocery store parking lot. Cram bodies together. 5) Snow Snow is planned. don't know what to do? Get a rental. Alamo Rents 4-Wheel Drive Vehicles. Have chains otherwise. 6) Want to bring up something? Drinks are limited; we aren't buying as much stuff as we did last time. Costs forced us to cut back. Contribute by bringing up a package of soda, or maybe some extra firewood. Have some liquor to share? Awesome we'll be cracking stuff open Sat night most likely. J 7) Reaching Ira If you need to reach Ira the best way is to send him a text message to his cell phone. If you can't do that email iraham at gmail and it will reach him eventually. At this exact moment I'm in conversation with 5 people at once. I can't stand anymore. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If anyone has trouble with the gate, please contact Plot and we should be able to assist you (hopefully). The road closes at approximately 8:00PM each evening. Please arrive at the game site between 5:00PM and 8:00PM if you are coming on Friday, March 21st.

These women have apparently turned their back in pursuit of finding 'effective' means of stopping their father. Of course their intentions are a mystery. Are they friend or foe? Those around them see them as friendly. A return to The Wyrd the players have a chance to meet new friends, re-establish themselves, and justify their recent actions. Of course the day does not stop, and the powers that they have unleashed are still watching them. Finally what really did happen to Excalibur? The sword vanished at the Mansion, and the Collectors know nothing. Mystery after Mystery, but at least one thing is for sure... it's Wild Magic season again at The Wyrd, and the elementals are dancing happily in the forest. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

On the intersection of Campus and Stanford you have two options for parking, either taking a left into the UCI parking structure SSPS = Social Sciences Parking Structure (circle SSPS on the map in square D6), or taking a right onto Stanford and then a left at the stop sign to enter the Jack in the Box's parking lot. Parking in SSPS for the day will cost $7 in cash. You can purchase a ticket on the 2nd floor exit or in Lot 16 on the UCI campus map in square G5, triangle 29 on the map shows where the ticket machine is located. Please note that sadly the machine does not give change. Parking at Jack in the Box or at the University Center is free but is more of a walk to the game site. Date: Saturday, June 14th Time:Noon to 6:00PM. PC Game Fee:$20. NPC Game Fee:$10. If you can't pay the $10, come out and participate anyway. Lore:Since the early days of Mythralis, the creatures known as the Shadow Cursed have controlled much of the continent. With few known weaknesses, these deadly creatures have long struck fear in the hearts of even the greatest adventurers. Even wounding one of the Shadow Cursed is nearly impossible - and killing one is a feat as-yet unheard of. Recently, the adventurer's guild discovered an ancient prison marked with runes of eldrich power. A brave group of veterans entered the tomb - only two escaped alive, and one withered away from his wounds shortly thereafter. Maddened by his experiences, the surviving mage - Kerlis Dreamweaver - told a tale of horror about his experiences below. He claims that his band found a weapon of great power that he believes was forged to slay the Shadow Cursed - but the guardians of the prison decimated his group before the weapon could be retrieved. Now, the guild has sent out a desperate call for aid - if a weapon exists that can slay the Shadow Cursed, perhaps a hero could rid the world of their taint forever... Rules:http://www.onlineeffects.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=763 Notes:This is a "dungeon crawl" style game. There will be some horror elements. The risk level for your character is above average in this event. There will also be above average mental and combat. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

What: Grab your garb and your gear, and join us for a LARP photo shoot. We'll be doing individual character shots, group character shots, and re-enactments of worthy moments that happened without a camera around. Bring your weapons too, because we'll be swinging foam around as well. People are also advised to bring USB drives so we can distribute pictures on the spot. Huntington Beach is cool with us taking pictures, but they don't want us to set up any enclosed structures. However, a van so we can have some place to change in and out of costumes. Dinner is likely to follow. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Claiming that the Seelie Court was responsible, the winter fey of the Unseelie Court sought to give Miniver ?compensation? in the form of 40 acres of land. While Miniver refused this gift, the King of the Unseelie Court marked him with the pendant of nobility against his will, binding the land to Miniver in spite of his wishes. A new home awaits Miniver upon his gift of land ? but the previous occupants may have left something behind After the departure of the Unseelie Court, the residents of the Wyrd intercepted a relic belonging to the mysterious warlord known as Mordred. Using the artifact to attempt to send two wayward friends back to their homes, the adventurers of the Wyrd unknowingly sent their friends elsewhere Much to the amusement of ?Jack? , a creature of the shadows with motives that still remain a mystery. Jack has promised to return with information on the whereabouts of the two missing friends, but he will likely demand a steep price for his aid. And Aayara, the strange woman who he seemed enamored with, has not yet returned In the realm of Mythralis, Shae watches as the first leaf falls from the Tree of Life?s branches. The tree stirs. In the coming days, Miniver may seek out to investigate his new home and there?s even talk that two adventurers will soon be married there. With Mordred, Lot, and Jack still imminent threats, who knows what dangers lurk within the depths of Miniver?s Mansion? A strange man in white robes, with a mustache and glasses comes out of a tent that seems like it belongs, but from another time. I know of the dangers! Behold for I am a seer, I shall reveal unto you the cards! Notes: This game is produced by members of both the Wyrd of Avalon and the Beyond the Veil Plot teams. Events will occur in both realms and NPCs from both of these settings will exist in the game. Saturday evening?s events present an extremely high risk of character death. PCs have the option of temporarily switching to NPC roles during this time if they do not wish to participate in this high risk segment of the game. Accommodations: This game site has a two-story lodge which should be large enough to accommodate everyone. In the event that there is not enough room for all participants, players will be assigned rooms on a first come, first served basis. Players may choose to camp outside if they choose to, however, you may not have access to specific parts of the game site at certain points in the game due to game design. Warning: Saturday evening will include horror elements. This may involve some physical contact with other players or game staff. If you are not comfortable with physical contact, please let us know before or during the game so that you will not experience any discomfort during the event. PC Game Fee:$100 with pre-registration, $120 at the door. The increased price is due to the game site and the duration (this is a 4 day event). NPC Game Fee:$10. Plot Team for this event includes: Fei Leung, Beth Voss, Mowi Reeves, Andrew Rowe, and Ira Ham. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Lore: Aayara, the City of Games, is still being rebuilt after a devastating attack several months ago. The creature responsible for the assault remains a mystery, but many of the townsfolk claim to have seen a massive shadow - or, in some cases, a dragon. More than a dozen small encampments remain outside the city, housing the villagers who lost their homes in the assault. Refugees from smaller settlements that have also been destroyed are trickling into these camps, forming small communities of their own. Once protected by the Adventurer's Guild, these camps have largely been left unguarded for the last six months, while the guild has dedicated their research to tracking down the monsters responsible. With the guild convinced that the town would not be struck by the "shadow creature" again so soon, most of the Paladins of Laos from the city have also departed in search of answers. Noone anticipated an attack from another source. Small groups of zombies and skeletons have been an ever-present problem in the uncivilized lands of Mythralis, but organized groups are practically unheard of. Needless to say, it was something of a shock when a winged maiden descended upon the refugee encampments to warn them of a coming army - an army of the dead. Rules: This system will use the 3.0 Live Effects Rules. Notes: This game will include some horror elements. This may involve some physical contact with other players or game staff.

The opportunity to meet these people in the final throes of mass combat is even more exciting, and we can see what we can do to stop Mordred entirely. Of course the chance of being discovered is great, and even more so the chance of survival was minimal. However the main battle has passed, who is the victor is uncertain. What is more important is that the magics Jace the Red started, were never quite finished. You see Jace the Red didn't mention one thing, he's not very good at portal spells, as a matter of fact he really can't do it at all. Jace realizes this after he made the offer to the Wyrd residents, but not before he left a trace of something magic to create hilarity for the future. *************************************************** *************************************************** *************************************************** Laneque's Chaos Location: Malibu Creek State Park, CA Group Camping Area Date & Time: Friday February 20, 2009 7pm to Sunday February 22, 2009 12 Noon Background: The execution of Perry Teyronma has been scheduled and the executioner is sharpening his axe.

According to rumors, they used the object to banish the legendary monster known as Daesmodin - but they were not alone. The adventurers received aid from a lich who called herself Eryndri and sought to bargain for possession of the Scepter. The dryad known as "Mother" offered herself to Eryndri as a form of insurance in case the adventurers chose to betray the undead. Eryndri departed in the night following the attack, explaining that she needed to meet with her sister to discuss "developments" and that she would be returning to discuss the fate of the scepter - peacefully - soon. She left guardians behind to keep an eye on the camp, and warned the adventurers not to harm her minions, lest they face the wrath of Botheas' undying legion once again. Meanwhile, Botheas' army has slaughtered many of the other refugee camps nearby, leading to an influx of survivors from other refugee camps. Efforts to repair the city of Aayara itself have been hastened to ensure that the refugees will have new homes soon - and thus avoid further bolstering Botheas' army of the damned. Rumors indicate that Botheas' army has also stretched out further south toward Terisgard and the Tree of Life. Paladins of Laos passing through the town have indicated that they are all being recalled to the Tree of Life for training and preparation for a major assault. Rules:We will be using the 3.0 rules with the following additions: -You may phys-rep a bandage to heal a wound twice as quickly as usual. -Potions must be phys-repped and physically "drank". Plot can provide phys reps if you have your item tags. -You must provide phys reps if you wish to tie up a character with rope (or another material). You must have consent to actually tie a person up, otherwise the target should hold the rope in his or her hands. Tying a target up requires a three count. You cannot escape ropes without the "Escape Bonds" maneuver. Other means of escaping bonds are at Plot discretion. The 3.0 Rules can be downloaded here: download/file.php?id=466 Sleeping Rules: If you wish to sleep out-of-game, you must provide a phys rep for your character's body in an in-game location and mark your tent out-of-game. This phys rep can be as simple as a pile of clothes with a tag that says "(x) Character's Body". If you choose to take this approach, please inform Plot of anything you are doing to protect your tent, hut, tree, or whatever you are choosing to sleep in. Plot can provide markers to designate that your actual tent is out-of-game, just ask. You will still be sleeping in PC camp. If you are not comfortable sleeping in PC camp at all for safety or medical reasons, speak to Plot and we can accommodate you, but you still will have to have a body tag and phys rep that remains in-game. Please note that this rule is not so Plot can just murder anyone in their sleep who chooses to go out-of-game at night, we will not be mindlessly slaughtering people, so you should still go out-of-game if you are not comfortable being woken up in-character by someone coming into your tent. Notes: This game will include some horror elements. This may involve some physical contact with other players or game staff. If you are not comfortable with physical contact, please let us know before or during the game so that you will not experience any discomfort during the event. We need PCs more than NPCs for this event. If you're debating which to play, we would prefer PCs. Contact plot at onlineeffects.com if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
