Games for Chimera 2012

[quote=“IdiotSavant”]I am hoping to run The Dance and the Dawn, which has apparently done the circuit a lot overseas, and is being formally published:

[i]This game tells the tale of six beautiful Ladies who came to the court of the Queen of Ice for a midnight ball, and there danced with seven noble Lords, all in pursuit of the True Love that could heal their hearts.

The players take on the roles of nobles in a gothic fairy-tale realm, convened for a great ritual dance, who have one night to find love and redemption. Six players become the Ladies of Ash, who have come to the midnight ball in hopes of healing their heartbreak; seven become the cold, proud Lords of Ice who are there waiting for them, and who struggle with tragedies of their own; and the other two become the Queen of Ice and the Duke of Ash, the enigmatic figures who have arranged the whole affair. The game is an event that lasts about four hours, which will be taken up with dancing and dueling and courtly intrigue…and, of course, with the eternal hope of romance and joy. [/i]

If it doesn’t show up in time, or if it can’t be cut down to three hours, then I will either rerun Delicious Friends (premiering at Hydra!), or Nobilis: Torn From Glory.[/quote]

Sounds lovely :slight_smile: Keen!

I have been confirmed as running 32AR: Gateway to Hell at Chimera this year. For those who aren’t coming to Wellington for Hydra in April, you’ll be able to get a taste of the 33AR Steampunk campaign at Chimera instead. No clue what round it’ll be running in, but I’m gunning for the Saturday afternoon.

For anyone who isn’t familiar with 32AR: Gateway to Hell, here’s the scenario blurb;

The great experiment of Professor Algernon Charteris has gone awry! Professor Charteris’ attempt to link the lands of Britain and India with portals through the Aether has instead opened a gateway to hell, from which demons pour onto The Isles! All is far from well as a group of survivors, guided by Commander M. D. Branke, huddle in hope of rescue at the emergency rendezvous point. Surely the reinforcements of the Army of Allied Nations will be here soon to pick up Princess Charlotte of Prussia, and all the other survivors who have made it here?

I look forward to seeing a whole bunch of the Auckland LARP crowd at Chimera when I get there, I see some of you far too infrequently!

With any luck I will be running on Friday night, KiL Qust III, Minor Problems, in the forest on Friday night. Adventure is written, and pre-jen characters are all that’s required. If you own a copy of KiL Quest III, you can make your own character, as per the rules, and you will get a free cheat card as well. See you there! 8)

Cool, looking forward to trying this.
