So after its success at Chimera 2013 (it won best original game), I would like to rerun my one-off Robin Hood and the Golden Arrow sometime this year before the lovely summer weather goes completely. I know that the next few months are a bit crazy larp wise, but I am looking at the last weekend of March (29th or 30th) as a possible date. It would be run Western Springs park on the Saturday or Sunday afternoon, but before I confirm officially running it I wanted to gauge interest.
Here’s the game blurb:
“Hear ye, hear ye! In honour of a royal visit from his highness Prince John, the Sherriff of Nottingham ‘as announced an archery contest where any citizen, high or low, may try his luck to win the prize of a golden arrow!”
England, 1190. King Richard has gone off to crusade in the holy land, leaving his lands in the hands of his younger brother, Prince John, an evil tyrant. The land is a dangerous place, the towns ruled by the likes of the loathsome Sheriff of Nottingham, the forests crawl with bandits. It’s risky to leave your homes at all, but the chance at winning the golden arrow is too good to pass up (and an opportunity to rub elbows with royalty wouldn’t go amiss).
Rumour has it the infamous outlaw Robin Hood might be crashing the party too. Come and join in the festivities, they’re bound to be a lark (if you like espionage, kidnapping, true love, cross-dressing, the occasional assassination and such shennagins).
It is run like a theatreform game, however the combat is live using larpsafe weapons, and the game centres around an actually archery contest (bow and arrows provided). Costume is Medievalesque (dark-ages for the more historically inclined)
The cost would be minimal, just enough to cover some refreshments and props.
Anyone interested?
EDIT:
Ok its official I will be running the game on the Saturday 29th of March, 1pm at Western Springs, details to follow about exactly where in the park.
I’m running it as a fundraiser for NZLARPS so the cost will be $10 per person, some drinks will provided.

First in first served. Something to keep in mind is that the gender ratio is 8 females and 11 males, although I am willing to allow cross dressing/changing gender if I can’t get enough of either.

EDIT 2.0
Due to popularity I am running a second session in the morning from 10 - 1pm, details above still stand.
