St. Wolfgang’s Vampire Hunters is a live action roleplaying
game (larp) where the players take the roles of the members of a secret order
within the Catholic Church dedicated the fighting the undead threat in 13th century Europe. St. Wolfgang’s is an immersive
larp, where all participants are in costume and remain in character for the
duration of the event. Combat is represented with hit points and latex boffer
weapons. Magic is represented through roleplayed ritual and in-character calls.
Player
characters (PCs) play one character for the entire weekend, unless that
character dies in which case the player may make a new character and enter play
once more, or they can join the crew. The crew, also called NPCs, play an
assortment of characters and monsters throughout the weekend under the
direction of the Game Masters (GM). In St.
Wolfgang’s, the crew generally play vampires and other evil creatures, but not
always.
St. Wolfgang’s runs weekend events which last from the Friday
evening until early Sunday afternoon, with aim of creating an immersive weekend
long adventure in a fictional reality. The events are run at Auckland scout camps.
The next game of St. Wolfgang's Vampire Hunters is scheduled for September 26th-28th 2008. Please see the Events page for more details.
