Vampire Larp

What The Hell Is A Camarilla...
...and Why Does It Need Pillars?
The Pillars of the Camarilla, which will be a new addition to FRAG Games day's starting March
26th , is a Live Action Role Play (LARP) game that has been running in Regina for over two years. The
game takes place in the White Wolf company's World of Darkness and has been set in an 'alternate'
Earth. A world very much like our own, where life goes on as normal, but one where everything is
bleaker; crime and poverty is rampant, desperation is the watchword, monsters exist and are pulling
society's strings from the shadows, “cats and dogs...living together!”.
You get the idea.
'Pillars' uses White Wolf''s Mind's Eye Theatre (MET) rule system, which is remarkably easy to
pick up and requires little or no record keeping, allowing for a heavy emphasis on role playing, social
interaction, and political intrigue. The original 'Pillars' game, which runs the first Saturday of every
month at the North East Community Centre, is set in a dark version of Regina, one which is under a
constant state of siege by enemies who are intent on destroying the player's Vampire characters. The
FRAG 'Pillars' game will, at least initially, be much lighter in tone. While it will be set in the same
'universe' as the Regina game, it will take place in that world's version of Saskatoon. Saskatoon does
not face the same external threats that Regina does, however, it is rife with internal dissension and
political maneuverings, creating an atmosphere full of great role-playing opportunities.
The Storytellers, Dan Bengert – who started 'Pillars' two years ago, and David Wood – the new
guy, will be on hand early at the games day, to help new players with pre-generated characters and
experienced players create new characters. Players of any experience will be welcome but due to the
nature of the story-lines, we recommend the game for adults only (some of the characters and scenes
are far too dark for younger players – these are the living dead, after all and no...they're not sparkly).
So please feel welcome to come out and join us for a fun and challenging role-playing
experience. After all, anyone can just roll a Charisma check, it takes a real role-player to actually talk
their way way out of their own execution.

Great to hear this Dan! See you in March!

Re: Vampire Larp

Hi Dan,

I didn't notice this until just now. Am I understanding correctly that this is meant to be an ongoing game? Are you running in the evening? This might be difficult for players if we have two ongoing LARPs at the same venue at the same time, but then again I understand you've been running on the last Saturdays anyway and so there always was a choice to be made. It's too bad to split the player-base though, assuming that there *are* people who would be interested in both (and I don't see why not).

Also, do we have enough space? Are you planning on running every month? We should probably be talking... email if you wish (parmeisan@gmail.com) or you can just reply here.
