Awesome display of costuming and prop building to keep the character concept within the WH40k universe and believable. I wonder if the weapons and tanks are only props that exhist in the background for atmosphere, or is there some game mechanic in their use. I could never understand how larps do ranged combat. KR has a system with bows that really makes it viable to play an archer, where some games I've played in the past, its so dumbed down its not practical. I wonder if the rules in use take advantage of people dedicated enough to make bolter props and assault cannons. I've heard of the rubber band or nerf guns that some larps employ with futuristic larps, but those use very toy-like reps. This larp looks like they've taken that to epic proportions lol.

If anything, I'd imagine it to be more like a paintball or aerosoft scenerio battle rather than an actual larp.

The Monastery

Aside from the player-funded new floor, counter top and backsplash, the building remained clean and neatly maintained so OOG items remained hidden for the event. The increased amount of good props and lighting in the building remained appropriate for the setting, making it very conducive to good role playing.

Honorable Mention: The Bloody Stump deserves a shout for the job their crew did this month. During the night, it seemed as if they had they had a hundred tea light candles lit throughout the place, covering almost every surface in flickering light. The common area was setup nicely with great props and no OOG items in sight. As a destination in Travance, it pretty much begs for you to sit there to share a drink and a story...and probably a bar fight or two.
