ZombieLARP: Thirty Minutes to Midnight coming this September

Zombies on my mind all week

NZLARPS has a generator (650w max) in the gear library.

Should I assume crew are costuming themselves?

Correct. Both crew and players are costuming themselves. You’ll also need to bring sturdy shoes and a torch.

Grrrr…Arrgh.

That was cool. Do more. Closer to town and with more everything. Thumbs up for a strong pilot.

Awesome props. Just really amazing. I loved all of it!

Thoroughly enjoyed myself. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen that many new faces at a larp. Loved the set up, the innovation, the safety-conciousness (really important when you consider it was dark, zombies, lots of new people, and there was a river!)

Really fantastic event. Looking forward to the next one.

So is the premise that you’re a human for half an hour of it and a zombie for the rest?

That’s right :slight_smile: It enables us to run the LARP with a) Lots of zombies to fight in each round, and b) No dedicated crew required to play zombies. That way, everyone gets a turn at playing a human character.

It looked like a giant amount of fun. I shall definitely play next time as well as doing makeup.

Doing the makeup was great too though. “Arise my minions, arise! Muaaahahahahaha”

Apparently, playing the game felt a bit like this…[attachment=0]ZombieHorde1.jpg[/attachment]

FPS view – perfect :open_mouth:

I had a silly idea about zombies, a video camera and a chainsaw.

And Craig made it come true <— check it out :smiley:

He’s very good like that!

So what kind of achievements did y’all stagger home with?

Ummm … “Achievement: Member of the team who forgot to trigger the GMs trap”, and “Achievement: Killed with a chainsaw” ?

Seriously though … that was one awesome saturday night. Exiting the facility, we saw before us a bleak, rainswept expanse of mud and grass. Guttural moans and bobbing lights drifted eerily through the driving rain, and dimly could be seen shambling figures stumbling aimlessly through the dark …

Quote of the Evening: (Grunt, to the first Zombie they encountered) "Sir, are you alright?"
Backup quote of the evening: (Zombie, to Grunt) “Graaaargh!”

Congrats to the GMs, the Zombification crew, and those involved in the technological assets for the evening … the GlaDoS imitation was excellent, and very disturbing! And nice work with the “Neurotoxin Surprise ™” … that inspired quite a bit of panic …

Oh yeah … I almost forgot …

I think my vote for Best Weapon can be summed up with three words.

[b]LARP.

Safe.

Have seen the pictures and gone damn, sux I couldn’t attend. So when is the next one?

I believe I loaned my umbrella to the GMs (large black & white) to use for sheltering camera equipment …

However in my haste to go home and have a hot shower, I appear to have left it behind. Could whoever has it perhaps contact me via PM? That would be muchly appreciated. Thanks.

I forgot to ask - how did people find using Nerf guns at ZombieLARP?

Just saw the video of the chainsaw in action.

AWESOME!!!

Beautiful work Derek. Great film Craig.
