underground street fights held in Vancouver. Many have gathered to pit
themselves in a grand melee to the death. One person will stand victorious
at the end and be rewarded (read: prizes) for their destruction of their foes.
Please show up to design your runner (or come with one prepared) and pit
him/her against the others.

World of Darkness: The White Room
Sun 4:00pm - Mon 12:00am – RPG (West River I/II & East River II – Red Lion)
Your group is a local detective agency that dabbles in the supernatural.
A room appears to you inside your agency, a room that you’ve never seen
before, that goes to nowhere, and seems to be impossible, due to it leading
where there ought to be a separate room. After studying the room, the
group learns basically nothing. They all go to their respective homes, and go
to sleep for the night. Then the room calls them. At precisely 6:05 am, they
all awaken, only to find themselves in the room. They now have to figure a
way out of it, alive.
World of Darkness: The Zoo
Sat 4:00pm - Sat 9:00pm – RPG (West River I/II & East River II – Red
Lion)
There’s something in the woods. People can’t seem to decide what it is. Is
it Bigfoot? Is it an escaped ape from the zoo? No one knows, but people are
going missing, and no one knows who will be next. The goal is to stop the
people from going missing, and to find out where the people that have gone
missing are.
LARP Gaming
What is LARP?
LARP, or Live Action Role-Playing takes role-playing games to the next
level. Instead of sitting around your table, rolling dice, you dress as your
character, act as your character, speak as your character. Think of it as a mesh
of role-playing games and drama (theatre, TV, movies, anime, etc.). For the
games below, you don’t need to know how to act. If you get the general
idea of “playing pretend” you have all you need to know. All the rules will be
explained to the players at the beginning of games, and a Storyteller (that’s
the person in charge) will always be available if you have any questions.
Costumes are highly encouraged (we’ll be dressed up, so should you!).
Are You A Werewolf?
Sat 9:00pm - Sun 12:00am – LARP (Quayside/Portside – Red Lion)
Sun 9:00pm - Mon 12:00am – LARP (Quayside/Portside – Red Lion)
A fun, theatre-styled game for all ages! You’re trying to find the werewolves
before they take out the village.
Assassins
Sun 11:00am - Sun 2:00pm – LARP (Quayside/Portside – Red Lion)
Mon 12:00pm - Mon 4:00pm – LARP (Quayside/Portside – Red Lion)
You are the Assassin! This is a very fun, extremely interactive game. This
is, however, not your typical LARP. In this game, you are given a target to
“assassinate” as well as a designation marking you as a target. At the wrapup
for the game, it’s time to tally up your “kills” and find the winner.
Boffer Event
Sun 11:00am - Sun 2:00pm – LARP (Riverdeck – Red Lion)
Mon 11:00am - Mon 2:00pm – LARP (Riverdeck – Red Lion)
Need to blow off some steam, or burn some energy? Test your skill in grand
melee as well as your tactics in a small group scenario. Combat will be safe
and structured. One-on-one, small group, and last man standing scenarios
will be played out. Padded weapons will be provided; no outside weapons
will be allowed. Waivers will be required to participate, and those under
18 years must have a parent or guardian sign the waiver. (This event is
scheduled outdoors and may be canceled in the event of rain.)
Boffer Tourney
Sun 4:30pm - Sun 7:30pm – LARP (Riverdeck – Red Lion)
Want to prove you’re the best? We’ll provide the weapons, and you provide
the skill in a series of one-on-one battles. Waivers will be required to
participate, and those under 18 years must have a parent or guardian sign
the waiver. (This event is scheduled outdoors and may be canceled in the
event of rain.)
Cosplay Crossover: The Floating Vagabond
Sun 4:00pm - Sun 8:00pm – LARP (Quayside/Portside – Red Lion)
You’re already dressed up in costume as your favorite character? Then come
and play them in this silly, fun live action role-playing game, along with
other characters from all over time and space. Granted, that happens a lot
at The Floating Vagabond, the odd little bar in the middle of space with
the special time/space portal built in. Meet new people, have a drink, and
maybe try to find your way home (or just hang out and enjoy!).
