The White City LARP Wiki

The White City is a Fantasy Live-Action Role-Playing game (aka “fantasy LARP” or “FLiRP”) run in Shotover Country Park in Oxford (UK) on Saturday afternoons under the auspices of OURPGSoc (the Oxford University RolePlaying Games Society) and open to all - the first two games are free!

We meet on Saturday mornings at 10am at the Magic Cafe on Magdalen Steet.

It's fairly generic high combat Sword & Sorcery fare in the usual linear LARP mould, but with a slightly non-standard feel to it. We aim to be welcoming to casual players and students on a tight budget, so running around having fun is more important to us than anything else. Hopefully everything you need to know about the game will be answered on one of the pages below.

This wiki is divided into several sections and contains everything you need to know:

NPC and Setting Information - For GMs to put information on people, places, artefacts and plot elements that have occured on their larps. Also includes Summaries of past LARPs.

Character Information - For players to upload details of their characters, including stats, background, significant actions and strange oddities.

System - For information on game rules, character creation, and character advancement.

Real World Information - For information on meeting places, mailing list, contact details, safety rules etc.

Advertisements appear around the White City for a group of reasonably experienced adventurers to undertake a quest on behalf of the White City and the Temple of Ashes to get rid of a dangerous necromancer.

This will be a low-mid to mid level adventure, dependent on potential players. It's particularly appropriate to anyone affiliated with the Burned Lords (go figure) but anyone willing to be employed by the city will be considered. There will be opportunities to earn levels of Ash magic and maybe levels of chain. It may also be combined with Gavin's quest for redemption and so probably most appropriate to players who would be willing to work with him (as I understand it after this week he isn't recognisable as a wanted man, so I don't envisage this as a huge restriction).
