Of particular interest to larpers: the flagship larp, “Shelter from the storm”. There will also be smaller larps running through the normal sessions, and Pax Victoria II, a grand strategy game by Dillon Burke in round two.

This year, as usual, kapCon is running a number of small larps alongside the ordinary tabletop sessions. Because these larps require costuming and casting, we are allowing players to preregister for them.

The larps in question are:

Round 3 (24 spaces total)

  • 2047 (12 - 16)
    Also running: The Script

Round 5 (27 spaces total)

  • Boats Against the Current (9)
  • Heart of Glass (10)
    Also running: Larps on Demand

Round 6 (30 spaces total)

  • The Face of Oblivion (6-8)
  • The Library (12)
    Also running: The Hirelings

Round 7 (16 spaces total)

  • 2047 (12 - 16)

Game blurbs can be found on the kapCon webpage here: kapcon.org.nz/?q=games23

To ensure everyone has a fair shot, we will be running a mini “shark week”. Initial registrations will be taken by email between 7pm Wednesday 4 December and midnight Friday 6 December, after which games will be allocated. Where a game is oversubscribed, the decision will be random. In rounds where there are multiple costumed choices, I am happy to take a first and second preference.

Following the initial signup period, games will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you would like to preregister for one of these slots, please respond to this email. I’ll let you know next week which game you’ve been allocated to.

Note that there are other non-costumed larps running in these sessions, as well as a host of fantastic tabletops, so don’t worry about “missing out”. There will be something good to play regardless.
