We have been working really hard in the off season to get ready for next steps! Here are just a few of the amazing things you have to look forward to as we launch into 2021!!!
2021 Alliance Denver LARP Schedule
Until we are allowed to gather in person again because of COVID-19, Alliance Denver LARP (ADL) events are going to be hosted virtually online. Below is the current event schedule we have planned to run for 2021;
February 20
March TBD
April 3
May 8
September 11
October 9
November 6
Look for individual announcements for each of these scheduled events over the course of this year. Also, keep an eye out here for invitations to additional events we have planned where we will be hosting much smaller, plot supported, virtual role-play evenings during the year that your plot team will be hosting in the newly created role-play channels on our Discord server.
Discord RP Channels
The channels are currently created and available for the PCs to use. They will be moderated, but are NOT going to be plot supported. They are being made available for the community to roleplay with each other in game, as well as the greater Alliance community to interact in game with ADL. There will be plot supported events on these channels that we will host between events, but those will be scheduled and announced ahead of time, so look for those posts in the coming months! Here are the in-game channels that currently exist;
Refugee Camp Outside Velia
“Tents as far as the eye can see stretch out across the fields just beyond the walls of the capital city of Velia. This is the temporary new home for the displaced Acarthians while their Gileanian hosts prepare for a more permanent solution to their plight.”
This is the tent city that currently houses the influx of Acarthians. It is sprawled out across the open fields that exist outside and surrounding the Realm’s capital city of Velia. It isn’t the most glamorous existence, but it is what was available while the powers that be of Nydabeth formulate a plan to arrange for a more permanent home to its newest residents.
The Guard Post Tavern
“What began as a simple guard station at the center of the refugee camp has now grown into the largest tented structure within the Acarthian's new temporary home. The Guard Post, as it is fondly referred to now, has become something of a social hub. A place to gather for drink, fellowship, and hearthfire.”
Its humble beginnings were as a literal guard post at one of the crossroads toward the center of the assembled tents. Over time, it grew into the social hub it is today providing food, drink, and a place for fellowship to the Acarthians. There are no permanent structures in the tent city but this remains one of the largest and most important gathering points for the Acarthians.
The Queen’s Gambit Tavern
“A large tavern located just within the southern walled gate of the capital city of Velia. It is the closest brick and mortar tavern to the refugee camp.”
Named for her Royal Majesty Ajana Caderian, First Queen of Nydabeth, Aunt to The Trine, the current rulers of Nydabeth. She is known for being responsible for most of the growth, organization, and prosperity that Nydabeth currently enjoys. Additionally, she was an avid chess player, viewing the game as a microcosm for life, which accounts for both the name and décor of the tavern. Ajana Caderian is responsible for pulling the disorganized, fractured settlements of Nydabeth into a unified and prosperous realm. The Queen’s Gambit Tavern is a tribute to her legacy.
ADL 2021 Plot Team
We have so many amazing things planned for the upcoming LARP season! I’m happy to announce the current crew that are going to help us provide you with that experience;
Cory Williamsen
Jennifer Beach
Dan Begnoche
Derek Reed
Sierra Gatrell
Emily Petting
Will Broderick
We are looking to grow our team to continue to provide you with enough plot support, during and between events. Please look for a post soon with description of the job and a call for aid!
Player’s Guide
We are putting the finishing polish on two really important and informative guides to both Gileania, which is the shard in which we will be hosting your player characters, and also to the Barony of Blackmoor, the dialed in portion of the Realm of Nydabeth which we will be focused on as we launch the new campaign. Teaser posts will begin to show via social media later this month and the documents as a whole will become available to the players via the website currently still under construction.
Virtual XP and Treasure
At present, and as currently written, the National Bylaws prevent me from being able to award XP for attending a virtual event. However, they do not govern MY distribution of Goblin Stamps. SO, as a giant thank you for attending a virtual ADL event, I will be awarding each attendee 30 Goblin Stamps.... that can then be applied toward XP. I've communicated my intent to National and even received their approval to do so. They loved the idea actually!
There has been a proposal, voted on and passed, that will allow us to begin to award treasure, per our standard treasure policy, at our virtual events! The treasure gained virtually will be tracked via a spreadsheet and awarded at our first live game. Your treasure will be made available to you and can be virtually spent via an IBGA submission.
