FOOD/DRINK: No food, except what players bring to sell for $ or gold in the market. So bring snacks.
WHAT: This is an indoor town mission, set in the FanWar Game world of Roekron. Players, parents, and
friends are invited to attend in costume (if you wish) as their characters, or villagers (props and weaponry
will be provided as usual). Participants will be involved in an ongoing adventure in a market, buying,
selling, trading, dancing, singing, playing at sport, or debating in their respective roles. Upon arrival,
participants will be given a collection of gold to spend at the festival to ensure a lively and active market!
All Quest/character leagues are invited (but the setting will be in Svodlun in the Roekron game world of Christophers LARP.
For Tony Quest Players: Tony’s world is set in a world called Teriock. If you play Tony, but not Chris, you don’t have a Roekron based character to play at the festival. Here are your options:(1) If you play advanced with Tony in Berkeley – play a baddy for cost of $15. You will be NPCs roles the GM needs (and will still have an opportunity to purchase real world items).
(2) Play a Merchant from Teriock. You will play a merchant connected with your character who is doing business on your behalf. You will make gold, but not gain a level. You
will have the opportunity to run your own booth as well.
(3) Travel a Character. Your character will not be playable during the travel which usually takes 1 week to arrive and 1 week to return. You do NOT receive the entry gold, as it
is assumed this was the cost you paid for your ships travel. You also may be subject to at sea encounters
or sinking.
VENDORS: If you would like to be a vendor, and sell or trade homemade items at the festival, you will need to
bring a few key things. You will need a folding table with a tablecloth, or a blanket to set on the floor to
display your wares. You may also wish to bring a chair. You will need some place to store your money from
purchases as well as a way to make change for people who buy your items. You will also need price tags.
These can be hand made and should display either a dollar value (indicated by the $ sign) or a gold value
(indicated by a g.p.) or both (you can sell something for $1 dollar AND 1 g.p. if you like). The goal is to
provide a fun and memorable event, and for everyone to benefit in the process.
Possible items for vendors to sell are as follows:
Food (cookies, chocolate, treats, fruit, baked goods, kabobs, popcorn, etc. but keep in mind it should be
served in a way that fits the fantasy setting)
Drinks (water, apple cider, hot chocolate, juice, soda, etc. again, keep in mind it should be served in a
way that fits the fantasy setting).
Character Costume Pieces: Belts, rings, amulets, shirts, boots, cloaks, bags, etc.
LARP Weaponry (daggers, arrows, swords, axes, bows, shields, armor, wands, staves, etc.) Make sure
your items pass safety checks. Anything sold that does not pass safety will have to be refunded.
Looking forward to a wonderful new series of LARP events. See you all there!Christopher Melville
