The Governor's Dinner Party- A Steampunk Larp

Auckland
#1

The Gallic League and The Prussian Empire are on the brink of war. Britannia doesn’t want to be dragged into it, but it is looking almost certain that, one way or another, they are going to have to declare for one side. Tensions are reaching boiling point and battle lines are being drawn.

And, in a small Britannian colony, the Governor has invited you to dinner.

Dave Agnew and Martin Clyde are pleased to present

The Governor’s Dinner Party

A 28 player theatre-form Steampunk LARP, featuring Swashbuckling Airship Pirates, Villainous Anarchists, Dashing Officers, Shadowy Spies, Shrewd Politicians and many more.

It will be held somewhere towards the end of November, at a location that is TBA. Creating the event this early so we can avoid clashes and other such troubles, and to give people as much time as possible to sort out some lovely Steampunk Costumes.

Remember, there are only 28 characters, so get in quick!

If you want to play, email Dave at dragnew@agnew.net.nz. We’ll be sending out a questionnaire in the next month or so.

EDIT:
Now that we finally have a venue, we can start asking you to pay us!

The cost of the game will be $15 per person, and should be paid to

I think you may have overestimated your appeal. I come online and there’s a wait list almost as long as the cast list!

I am looking forward to this something fierce.

I know! If the game goes well, we may have to run it again sometime!

I’m quite excited for it too. Now we just have to do our best to make it live up to expectations.

Okay, I’ve sent out surveys to everyone who’s signed up so far. The sooner we get them back, the sooner we can start casting.
