CANCELED DUE TO FLOODING – Sebastopol Junior League – Indoor Meeting Available

Hello All Sebastopol LARP Families,

This week of storms has saturated the area and tonight and into tomorrow (Thursday), another massive atmospheric river
event will hit and flooding of the lagoona and other areas is certain.   Thus we must, again, cancel LARP for Thursday and
hope for less extreme weather next week.
A small group of us are planning to meet at Coffee Catz (or East West Cafe, if Coffee Catz is flooded), to run missions and
role play encounters for the day.  We will be at one of these two places from 12-5:30 as usual, and any of you are
welcome to join us for that period of time to join in the missions and quests that will be done table top style, using my
Fanwar table top combat system.  If you feel its safe enough to make your way to where we are, please do.  But by all
means, if the journey involves crossing large amounts of water, stay safe, and avoid the rivers.

All my best,

Christopher

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 Sebastopol at Willard Libby Park. The first session is from 12:00pm-2:30pm and trains players in the game, as well as continues an ongoing story the players themselves are involved in creating. The second session from 3:00pm-5:30pm continues this story and expands upon it, challenging players to follow through on their projects and connect to those of others. 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 fifteen 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.
