CANCELED DUE TO RAIN! Palo Alto Weekly LARP

CANCELED DUE TO RAIN! 1/24/18

Though it may seem clear now, a storm with soaking rain will be hitting the bay area by early afternoon tomorrow.
While we often play in the rain, the forecast is for “heavy rain” through most of the second session and into clean up.
We could probably manage, but it would not be very pleasant and much of our gear would be compromised.  So we are
canceling tomorrow.  Good news is, it looks sunny for next week!  See you all then.  Forecast for tomorrow is below FYI.

FANWAR LARP Sign Up Form 2017-18 (Palo Alto Winter)

Live Action Role Playing is a tremendous teaching tool and capable of dynamic, physically driven learning that transcends the usual boundaries of standard education. Due to the interactive, dramatic, hands on methods used in LARP, teaching is often effortless and fun. Players explore concepts from history, linguistics, political studies, geography, psychology, literature, mythology, engineering, science, mathematics, fine arts, team building, and much, much more in a single session and often don’t even realize they are learning due to the fact that they are the active participant in the process, not the passive receiver.
This event takes place in two parts, weekly, in Palo Alto at Mitchell Park.  This class provides an after school activity that is social, physical, and mentally challenging in a time when kids more and more are finding sedentary, electronic alternatives to real human interactions. Both sessions involve players making and role playing as characters in a shared imaginary world that spans the Bay Area and has hundreds of players continuously involved in collaborating on the process of storytelling and adventure. These events also tie into the weekend events and other leagues which have been a tradition in the area for the past nine years. Players must learn to battle with safe larp weaponry, solve intricate story elements, role play as a wide variety of monsters and creatures of the world, and manage their resources carefully. LARP is helping transform the lives of children all across the Bay Area and beyond.
