New Adventurers

Hail newcomer!
We of Ralinwood are here to welcome and guide you on the new path you are about to tread. There are many new things to learn and a plethora of question to be answered. Here is where we will give you a show of the rules and what you should expect going forward.

First, What is LARP?

LARP stands for Live Action Role Play. It is a game which involves dressing up as a character of your creation and bringing it to life.

The setting of Underworld LARP is a dark fantasy world. You can fight monsters who terrorize your town, make friends with those who overcome hardships with you and pursue your character’s goals in a world where anything is possible. Think of a tabletop RPG or video game where you yourself are the character exploring our interactive story.

The story is run by a team of story tellers we call Shapers–as they ‘shape’ the world you’re playing in. They have help from a team of season NPCs who drive forward the story the Shapers create. We have epic multi-year stories, large year long plots and small one offs that bring our world to life.
