SLARPA

I have more news about BarryCon.

There are events pages up for the three games involved.

The Bainbridge Society will be the Friday night game:

There will also be areas for these games on the forums.

Unfortunately, as of this writing, the dates on the events are wrong. We have needed to move them to November 27 and 28 instead of November 20 and 21, as unfortunately we were unable to get the booking that we wanted on the weekend of the 20th. That being said, we are now confirmed with the basement of Winston’s for the Friday and Saturday night games.

The pricing plan is $20 for the weekend (which includes a SLARPA membership), or $10 for a single game (which does not include a membership).

I hope to see you all out.

SLARPA is happy to be sponsoring another LARP convention this fall.  “Barrycon”, which is the working name for this event, will be held November 20-21 with three games.  Check back regularly for more information.

The executive for 2009/2010 are:

Andrew Postnikoff, President
Josh Chomyshen, Vice President
Kyle Yaworski, Treasurer
Des Bartlet, Secretary
Spike Postnikoff, Alternate/Additional Executive

SLARPcon 2010 will most likely be June 11-13.

There will be additional one-shots held at other points throughout the year. Check back regularly for more information.

Thank you all for coming out for SLARPcon 2009.

The SLARPA AGM will be July 12 at 2 in Arts 105.  Come out and tell us how you think things went this year, and what we should be considering for next year.  Also, the executive for next year will be determined at that time, so if you want a say, that is where to have it.

Even if you can’t/don’t want to show up at the AGM, we still want to know what you thought of what we did.  Get in contact with us in whatever way you normally do, and look in the forum for a questionnaire of things I think will be useful to know for the next executive.

Check the forums for more information on the individual games.

Cost is free for members, other $15 at the door (get in touch with the executive before the event if you want a membership)

After some deliberation, we have decided that the Sunday afternoon event will be John Allison’s game, “Return to the Market”.

The line up for SLARPcon 2009 (June 12-14) will be as follows:

Friday Night (7pm-midnight)

A Night at the Roadhouse

A modern day monster hunter game based on Supernatural, run by Gordon Jensen, using simplified old MET rules.

Saturday Afternoon (Noon-5pm)

The Blood Royal

Hyborean style fantasy in the Godforged setting, run by Mike McCall, using the Exemplar system.

Saturday Night (7pm-midnight)

The Methuselah Club- Millennium’s End

A game of immortals, run by Wade Lahoda, using a rule system made for this game.

Sunday afternoon (11am-later)

To be determined: there will be an event, but whether it is something casual and social or another game is up to the members. See the forums for details.

Submissions for SLARPcon ‘09 are starting to come in. The executive has set a deadline for submissions as March 31. Decision as to what games will be run will be decided shortly thereafter.

Go to the forums to comment on the games as they come in.

The SLARPA Winter Event was a great success. Thanks go out to everyone involved! Check out the link to find out what you missed out on Feel free to add your own thoughts, in particular comment on what you liked and didn’t like. We definitely want another Winter Event in 2010!

It’s time to get your game ideas in for SLARPcon ‘09! We’re aiming for three games (Friday night, Saturday afternoon, Saturday evening). Weather permitting, Sunday noon will likely be a BBQ in the University park area. Remember, the sooner you get your ideas in, the more likely you are to get the timeslot you want! Last year’s games had some big turnouts, so keep that in mind! Ask your friends or on the forums to help you out.

Get your ideas in on the forums, or contact one of the executive directly for more information.

The Winter Event will be February 7 in the MUMPS lounge in the Medical Sciences building.

We have the venue from Noon.

The LARP, “Lostday in Limehouse”, which is set in the Unhallowed Metropolis setting starts at 7:00 sharp; be there earlier to get your character information before the rules explanation.
