Greetings fellow RPGers. Surprisingly I had 5 different people this week asking about open games (mine are all full and wait-listed), and I noticed only a few groups posting on various sites right now, though many are active in this area. I mentioned the various Facebook RPG & LARP groups (among others), but several of them stated they won't use Facebook (interestingly for different reasons), so thought it would be good to encourage folks to post their groups on the SpokaneRPG.com and local Meetup.com groups..

Meetup RSVP is here: http://www.meetup.com/SCdA-RPG/events/227368571/ I am interested in non-boffer LARPs, but there appears to currently be a complete dearth of any such groups in Spokane. So, based on recommendations from Professor Sarah Lynne Bowman, I am going to try forming a new LARP group. We will be trying out various systems/settings with adventures that last about 1-3 sessions each, over the next several months, until we finally settle on some favorites. I have 5 players already on board (that do not use Meetup). But it wouldn't hurt to have a few more on board for those interested in trying something new. Our first LARP will be "The Hirelings" By Håken Lid and Ole Peder Giæver. Genre: Comic fantasy Time: 3 hours Players: 3-10 players and 2 game masters Workload: Light Playing style: Light hearted The Premise: In a world of perilous adventure and dark dungeons filled with precious riches, one group of aspiring adventurers are having their first day in a new job, and it’s not quite working out as planned. The Hirelings is a role playing game in which you play out the preparations and the aftermath of a failed dungeon crawl. The game is divided into five parts: A pre-game workshop, three acts describing the preparations, the implementation and the aftermath of a dungeon crawl, and finally an epilogue and allotment of experience points. The Hirelings draws heavily upon cliches from fantasy role playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons, video games, comics and fantasy literature. In addition there are also elements from modern life, like job interviews, group therapy, sports and team building. The characters in the game are all novice adventurers, who are preparing to head out on their first real quest. This seemed an appropriate start for a bunch LARP newbies, that are coming from tabletop RPG. We haven't nailed down a date yet, but location is likely my (Hawke's) house in North Spokane (near Whitworth & Five Mile Prairie). As far as frequency we may only start out once per month, and then hopefully ramp up to either every-other week, or weekly, once the holidays are over with. Who would be interested in joining the fun?

Meetup RSVP here: http://www.meetup.com/SCdA-RPG/events/227261647/ Attempting to put together a new group playing werewolf the apocalypse (laws of the wild revised) in the Spokane area. Newbies to LARP are welcomed. Storyteller is willing to run the group if we get at least 5 players, and up to 10 committed to participating. Storyteller Name: Mike Heupel Questions for Storyteller: What ages of participants allowed? Beginning campaign starting information? Any Storyteller "house rules" we should know about in advance? I have ordered a copy of "Mind's Eye Theatre: Laws of the Wild- Revised Rules for Playing Werewolf" for myself. It was only $6.00 used on Amazon. Any other books we should have handy? Storyteller preferred locations? Storyteller preferred days/times? - Prefers Saturday afternoons.   Storyteller preferred frequency of meetings? Weekly? Other?
