For larpers: we have a flagship, “Crisis Point”, being written by a fantastic team. We will also have the usual small larps, between 17 and 24 places per session. You can read about the larps on the games page, here:

kapcon.org.nz/?q=games24

You can sign up for the round one and two games now, and signup for costumed games in the later rounds will be opened just as soon as we’ve finalised that part of the timetable.

Yeah, I ended up changing the link URL after writing that. D’oh!

Fixed to avoid confusion

As usual, KapCon is running a number of small larps this year 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 (Saturday evening, 5pm - 8pm):

  • A Royal Celebration (19 spaces)

Round 5 (Sunday morning, 10am - 1pm):

  • Watch the Skies (8 spaces)
  • The Universe (Which Others Call The Library) (8 spaces)

Round 6 (Sunday afternoon, 2pm - 5pm):

  • New Voices in Art (15 spaces)
  • The Universe (Which Others Call The Library) (8 spaces)

Game blurbs can be found on the KapCon webpage here: kapcon.org.nz/?q=games24

To ensure everyone has a fair shot, we will be running a mini “shark week”. Initial registrations will be taken by email between Thursday 4 December and midnight Monday 8 December, after which games will be allocated. Where a game is oversubscribed, the decision will be random. In rounds where there are multiple options, 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 email kapcon@gmail.com. I’ll let you know next week which game you’ve been allocated to.

There is another game likely for round 7, and I’ll open registrations for that when I receive a blurb.

Note that there are a host of fantastic tabletops as well, so don’t worry about “missing out”. There will be something good to play regardless.

And of course, there is still space in “Crisis Point”. If you’d like to register for that, fill out the form here

We’ve got spaces in some of the larps, which we’d like to fill. If you’ve been holding off to give other people a chance, wait no longer. To claim a space, email kapcon@gmail.com:
