= Main Campaign =
== Linears ==
A linear is a type of adventure where the encounters are laid out along a set route which the characters follow. Encounters are variable in nature - some are intended to be fights, others will have some kind of puzzle for the Player Characters to solve, and some will involve diplomacy. The characters will usually have an end goal of some kind, ranging from taking down an evil cult to looting the tomb of a dead god. Usually an NPC "character ref" accompanies them as a member of the character party to ensure they don't stray off course by accident or design.

We run linears once per fortnight on Saturdays during term-time, most often on [http://www.camlarp.co.uk/Locations_We_Use#Linears Grantchester Meadows], but sometimes in other locations. These usually start at 1pm and last 2-3 hours. Occasionally we run {{gloss|Night Bash|night bashes}} starting at a later time.

== Interactives ==
An interactive is a session of the game held indoors at [http://www.camlarp.co.uk/Locations_We_Use whatever room the Society has booked that week]. Interactives are held on Friday evenings, usually at 7.00pm. In interactives, your character stays in the room and socialises with the other player characters (PCs). Events come to you, in the form of non-player characters (NPCs or "monsters") sent in by refs to provide opportunities to get involved in plot. You can expect many varied encounters throughout the evening and also plenty of opportunity for the PCs to interact and work together to solve problems.

= Others =

==One-Shots==
Sometimes we run one-off larps distinct from our main game - these will tend to be self-contained and have minimal need for knowledge beforehand, so they're a great way to try out larp if you don't want the commitment of a longer-running game, as well as to explore a wider variety of larp styles.

== Weapons Practices ==
On weeks without linears we will often run a weapons practice instead. These are an opportunity to improve your combat skills and are also really good fun. Don't worry if you don't have any larp weapons of your own - the society has plenty in the armoury which it will lend out.

== Kit Makes ==
We occasionally have kit makes - these will have patterns and experienced people on hand so are great for if you want to make your own kit but aren't sure how to go about it.

Bink: /* Newnham College */

This page lists detailed descriptions of how to get to some of our commonly used locations. If you need any more information, please email [mailto:larp-exec@srcf.net larp-exec@srcf.net] or post on our [https://www.facebook.com/groups/cambridgett/ Facebook] page.

For access info, see our [[Access_Statement|Access Statement]].

==Interactives==
===Newnham College===
This year we're using the Barbara White room in [https://maps.app.goo.gl/c82dZasfqymaCjPC8 Newnham college] (CB3 9DF), in the [https://maps.app.goo.gl/xPEQgPWXzngENhTt6 Old Hall], for some interactives.

Parking on Sidgewick Avenue is free after 5pm. Parking is also readily available on Newnham Walk.

[[Image:NewnhamBarbaraWhite.png|300px]]

Some other interactives are in Sidgwick Hall, which is a short distance to the right of the Porter's Lodge.

[[Image:SidgwickHall.png|300px]]

===Magdalene College===
Magdalene College is on the [https://goo.gl/maps/zNCcBshoMRtNy6Si8 corner of Magdalene Street and Northampton Street] (CB3 0AG). Nearest parking is the [https://goo.gl/maps/QQYn9PXczNDvgmpr9 Castle Street car park] (CB3 0AH), which is free after 7pm.
We're in the Buckingham Room, which is on the west side of Magdalene Street. People can probably be found out the front letting people in until 7pm. Otherwise asking at the Porter's Lodge to let you in to visit the Cambridge Larp Society at the Buckingham Room should work.

[[File:Buckingham Room.png|300px]]

===St John's College===
The Boy's Smith and Castlereagh rooms at St John's college are best accessed by the back entrance. Go to Northampton Street and look for a [https://goo.gl/maps/dWjHTLSLNoY2Jdk67 small side street] (CB3 0AD) that will take you in to The Fisher Building of St John's.

The blue path on the left is wheelchair-accessible but requires contacting the porters via an intercom, while the red path on the right involves steps but no intercom. If you don't feel comfortable navigating on your own, message the Discord or send an email to the execs (larp-exec@srcf.net). Someone will be sent to show you the way.

[[File:BoysSmithMap.jpg]]

Nearest parking is the [https://goo.gl/maps/QQYn9PXczNDvgmpr9 Castle Street car park] (CB3 0AH), which is free after 7pm.

===Unitarian Church Hall===
The Unitarian Church Hall is located off Victoria Street, which is an offshoot of Emmanuel Road. Approaching from the Emmanuel Road end, walk a short distance down the street until you see a black iron gate on your right. Enter through here and the door to the hall is on your left, up a couple of steps.

Parking is available along Victoria Street, or on nearby streets.

Postcode: CB1 1JW

Maps:

*[https://goo.gl/maps/MclTo Google]

===Wesley Methodist Church===
The Wesley is located on the large roundabout at the south end of Victoria Avenue. If there's no one at the main entrance, try ringing at the back door on the west side.

Parking can be difficult at this venue, sometimes available on King Street, but it's often very full. The nearest guaranteed parking is the Grafton West car park a short way along Maid's Causeway (exit out of the back for a shorter walk to the Wesley).

Postcode: CB1 1LG

==Linears==
===Logan's Meadow===
One of our linear locations is Logan's Meadow, near the Equiano Bridge: https://maps.app.goo.gl/GeQN2q4UckcXS3FD7

The most reliable access is via the Equiano Bridge on the east side, which has a wheelchair ramp and steps leading down to the Meadow. There is also access on the west side through the forest (https://maps.app.goo.gl/RG42ZYY1RFpQBqWW7), but this is prone to flooding and is often usable.

The nearest parking is on St Andrew's Road north of the river, and on Riverside and Stanley Road south of the river.

Beware that navigation may give you an incorrect route when coming from the west. These are the recommended walking routes, avoiding the woods. 
[[Image:LogansWalk.png|300px]]

===Midsummer Common===
We sometimes hold linears on the eastern end of Midsummer Common, near the Elizabeth Way bridge: https://goo.gl/maps/KAJXuDxi5E8NUmWi8

The nearest parking is on Walnut Tree Avenue, and Riverside car park (CB5 8HQ), which are currently £1 per 30 minutes.

Nearest free parking is around 10 minutes walk down the river at Stanley Road.

===Grantchester Meadows - North End===
Grantchester Meadows refers to the stretch of fields running along the River Cam in the vicinity of Newnham Village. We meet at the car park at the north-east end. Getting there can be a little confusing; as a result, we often run walking parties meeting outside Queens College.

From Queens, head west along Silver St until you reach the crossroads with Sidgwick Ave and Queens Rd. Turn left along Queens Rd and follow the road round to the roundabout. Head straight over the roundabout and down Barton Rd. At the next set of lights, where Barton Rd heads off sharply right, continue straight on onto Grantchester St (past the Co-Op on your left; incidentally, a good place to pick up lunch.) Head down Grantchester St until you reach Eltisley Ave on your right (there should be some shops on the far corner of the turning). Head down Eltisley Ave. Follow on, turning a gentle right to get onto Grantchester Meadows (the road). Continue along until you reach the car park, next to the beginnings of some open fields.

Parking available in the car park.

Postcode: CB3 9JQ (for Eltisley Ave; follow walking directions after this point, but this should get you in the right area)

*[https://goo.gl/maps/TZoCNJY5hQJ2 Google]

===Grantchester Meadows - Tearoom End===
Sometimes we run linears from the far end with respect to Cambridge. These are conveniently located next to The Orchard tearooms. If we're running from this end, we will post more specific directions with general linear info.

Events We Run

2025-10-13T11:39:04Z

Bink: /* This Year */

[[File:CUTT_meadows.jpg|400px|left|Photo by Tom Garnett]]
= Main Campaign =
== Linears ==
A linear is a type of adventure where the encounters are laid out along a set route which the characters follow. Encounters are variable in nature - some are intended to be fights, others will have some kind of puzzle for the Player Characters to solve, and some will involve diplomacy. The characters will usually have an end goal of some kind, ranging from taking down an evil cult to looting the tomb of a dead god. Usually an NPC "character ref" accompanies them as a member of the character party to ensure they don't stray off course by accident or design.

We run linears once per fortnight on Saturdays during term-time, most often on [http://www.camlarp.co.uk/Locations_We_Use#Linears Grantchester Meadows], but sometimes in other locations. These usually start at 1pm and last 2-3 hours. Occasionally we run {{gloss|Night Bash|night bashes}} starting at a later time.

== Interactives ==
An interactive is a session of the game held indoors at [http://www.camlarp.co.uk/Locations_We_Use whatever room the Society has booked that week]. Interactives are held on Friday evenings, usually at 7.00pm. In interactives, your character stays in the room and socialises with the other player characters (PCs). Events come to you, in the form of non-player characters (NPCs or "monsters") sent in by refs to provide opportunities to get involved in plot. You can expect many varied encounters throughout the evening and also plenty of opportunity for the PCs to interact and work together to solve problems.

= Others =

==One-Shots==
Sometimes we run one-off larps distinct from our main game - these will tend to be self-contained and have minimal need for knowledge beforehand, so they're a great way to try out larp if you don't want the commitment of a longer-running game, as well as to explore a wider variety of larp styles.

== Weapons Practices ==
On weeks without linears we will often run a weapons practice instead. These are an opportunity to improve your combat skills and are also really good fun. Don't worry if you don't have any larp weapons of your own - the society has plenty in the armoury which it will lend out.

== Kit Makes ==
We occasionally have kit makes - these will have patterns and experienced people on hand so are great for if you want to make your own kit but aren't sure how to go about it.

Society History

2025-10-11T10:16:41Z

Bink: /* Lovelace, Tesla and Killer Robots */

== Cambridge University Treasure Trap ==
Treasure Trap was one of the first LARP games in the UK, it began at Peckforton Castle, Cheshire, in 1981. The success of the game led to the creation of various spin-off societies, including Labyrinthe, Durham Treasure Trap (DUTT), and the (now extinct) Birmingham Treasure Trap.

[[File:CUTT_sword.jpg|400px|left|Photo by Tom Garnett]]
In 2002 Cambridge Treasure Trap was set up by two graduate students - Jennifer Curtis and Toni Badnall - who had enjoyed LARPing at DUTT during their undergraduate study at Durham and wanted to continue playing when they reached Cambridge.

The game of Cambridge Treasure Trap was in Grantabrugge, a loose analogue of medieval Cambridge. The game was inspired by fantasy media like Dungeons and Dragons, Dragonlance, and the Discworld Novels, but it also developed gradually through player action over its decade-long run. Players could play characters of various Races, such as elves, dwarves, or humans, and could be affiliated with city institutions, the colourful colleges of Magic, or any of the thirteen available religions.

== Cambridge LARP Society ==
In 2014, the society decided to wrap up CUTT in favour of limited-run systems written by the active player base. At the same time the society's name was changed to Cambridge Larp Society to reflect that the game was no longer Treasure Trap.

[[File:Explorer_manifested.jpg|right|400px|Photo by Kay Chard]]
=== No Flag No Country ===
CLS’s first game post-Treasure Trap was No Flag No Country (NFNC), a 2-year run pulp fantasy exploration and investigation game written by Ivan Slipper and James Blackshaw. NFNC ran between October 2014 and June 2016.

NFNC was set on the newly-discovered island of Mat Sellah. Each of the characters could be one of three races (standard Human, tattooed and pointy-eared Alfar, or scaly Ozgur) and hold a strong allegiance to one of the four churches, one of the three countries of the nearby continent, or one of two other investigative factions. The characters arrived on Mat Sellah to investigate and take advantage of the appearance of a magical Portal which surged with power from the Beyond, the place where both Gods and the demonic entities called Strangers lived. The game ended with the characters, having inadvertently used up most of the Portal’s power for their research, using its final gasp to allow The Explorer, one of the Gods, to manifest in the world.

More information about No Flag No Country can be found on [http://nfnc.camlarp.co.uk/Main_Page its website].

[[File:Arginet-IC-v2 small.jpg|left|383px]]

=== Breaking Worlds ===
CLS’s third game was Breaking Worlds, a 2-year run apocalyptic fantasy game written by Nye Redman-White and Rosemary Warner. Breaking Worlds (BW) ran from October 2016 to May 2018.

BW was set in the island realm of Arginet, which until a year before the start of the game had been a stable and peaceful place. However, cracks had started appearing in the fabric of reality in a metaphysical outburst known simply as the Breaking, bringing with them strange people and dangerous creatures. In this tumultuous time, the characters of the game came together to explore, exploit, and defend against the tumultuous spirit world and the mysterious threat from beyond.

The game ended with the characters defeating the power-hungry other-world scientists who caused the disaster and uniting 5 diverse worlds to cooperate and restore the fabric of reality.

More information about Breaking Worlds can be found on [http://bw.camlarp.co.uk/Breaking_Worlds its website].

=== The Citadel ===
Our fourth game was The Citadel, a one year run post-apocalyptic science-fantasy game written by Robb Smith, Ivan Slipper and Pia Salter. Centuries after the Decline, an ancient citadel of advanced technology reopens, offering the local tribes of the Outlook an opportunity to learn the secrets within.

After learning of the Citadel's sinister past and purpose, and overcoming many challenges, the characters defeated the super-advanced AIs to gain dominion over the Citadel's core. After heated debate they chose to destroy it, so that the Citadel could never again be used to manipulate and dominate humanity.

More information about The Citadel can be found on [http://citadel.camlarp.co.uk/ its website].

=== Obscura ===
Our game for 2019-2020 was Obscura, a one year run fantasy game written by Jon Cooper. Centuries ago the world was a dark place, dominated by monstrous creatures and powerful magic, until a group of adventurers performed the Sealing, cutting off the magical realm from the mortal. Magic faded and science grew to fill the gap. Now the Sealing is starting to unravel and magic is returning, are the dark times destined to return, or can something be done to stop it?

Sadly the Obscura campaign was not completed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

More information about Obscura can be found on [http://obscura.camlarp.co.uk/ its website].

=== Dark Moon ===
Our game for 2021-2022 was Dark Moon, a one year run urban shadow fantasy game of vampires, were-creatures and changelings struggling to live in the modern world they keep having to save, written by Kes Ward and Jim Blackshaw.

More information about Dark Moon can be found on [https://sites.google.com/view/clsdarkmoon/ its website].

=== Falling Sky ===
Our game for 2022-2023 was Falling Sky, a one year run fantasy game of sky piracy in a broken world, written by Alex Stuart. Twenty years ago the Architects of Ascension stole the powers of a dead god and used them to break the world, causing it to be consumed by the Great Storm above, or fall in to the Hells below. The survivors of humanity eke out an existence in sky ships between them, raiding the pieces of the World-That-Was as they fall from the storm in to hell.

After defeating the Architects and their now-ascended leader, the godlike Apex, the Seekers created a new Unity Forge and remade the world, becoming its new gods.

More information about Falling Sky can be found on [https://fallingsky.camlarp.co.uk its website].

=== Unusual Haunts ===
The game for 2023-2024 was Unusual Haunts, a one year fantasy game of survival, exploration and community in a dangerous world of mist and legend, written by Seffie Davison. With food running out, the intrepid inhabitants of the village of Penwick Gorge were forced to venture over The Bridge to the unknown beyond the mists, finding wonders and dangers beyond their imagining.

After learning of the true nature of the universe and integrating several other worlds in to their own, they shepherded the spirit of the village to a new stage of existence, making Penwick the centre of a new, wider world.

More information about Unusual Haunts can be found on [https://uh.camlarp.co.uk its website].

=== Norse Angels ===
The game for 2024-2025 was Norse Angels, a one year norse high fantasy game of godlings facing Ragnarok, written by Sarah Bewick and Bea Johnson. The characters are godlings, created by the gods to overcome the challenges of Ragnarok in their name, but rumour has it Loki has snuck some of his own into their ranks to sow chaos...

After shepherding the world through Ragnarok, and the death of many gods and monsters, the new pantheon of some old gods and some new arose to take stewardship of a new age.

More information about Norse Angels can be found on [https://norseangels.camlarp.co.uk its website].

=== Lovelace, Tesla and Killer Robots ===
The game for 2025-2026 is Lovelace, Tesla and Killer Robots, a victoriana game of intrepid resistance against a mighty machine empire, written by Jon Cooper.

More information about Lovelace, Tesla and Killer Robots can be found on [https://lovelace.camlarp.co.uk its website].

Frequently Asked Questions

2025-10-01T21:02:52Z

Bink:

== What is Role-playing? ==
Role-playing is the act of playing the part of someone (or something) in a situation different from your real life. Specifically, in role-playing games players take on the roles of characters and describe, either verbally or through acting, how those characters behave. Role-playing games have been around for millenia, and encompass everything from children’s games of make believe, to tabletop games such as Dungeons and Dragons, to murder mystery games. Settings for roleplaying games are equally diverse, including complex fantastical worlds, dystopian futures, snapshots of modern society, and even entirely abstract realities.

Many role-playing games take place at a table, with the characters existing on paper, or as models on a board, or even without any paper at all, with players simply sitting around and talking. These games are commonly referred to as "tabletop" role-playing games.

[[File:CUTT_smoke.jpg|left|450px|Photo by Tom Garnett]]
== What is LARP? ==
LARP (Live Action Role-Playing, also written as larp) is a type of role-playing where you take on the mantle of your character physically and perform their actions in real life. This has some advantages and some disadvantages over traditional tabletop role-playing. Swinging heroically from a chandelier while fighting a horde of angry goblins might work in your imagination, but actually doing it is another matter. On the other hand, what you do in LARP is a lot more immersive than most tabletop games. LARP takes elements from improvised theatre, tabletop roleplaying and genre fiction, and meshes them together to provide a uniquely immersive experience to players.

LARP games vary in length from a few minutes to over a week, from one-shots to long campaigns (which may last for years and run events at more or less regular intervals), and their settings vary even more. There is scope within LARP to play combat scenes with safe foam weapons, solve intriguing mysteries, rack your brain on complex puzzles, fight political battles, seek revenge, obtain glory, make friends, build relationships, save (or destroy) the world, and so on. What you choose to do depends on the setting and on what you as a player are looking for. Some LARP are more focused on action, with players working together collaboratively towards a shared goals, others are more focused on the individual experience and put an emphasis on immersion and drama. The amount of background rules can vary between settings from very complex to almost no rules at all - not all LARPs have characters with stats and skills that players need remembering.

== What events do you run? == 
We run a long-term, regular LARP game (called a “campaign”, usually lasting one or two years), as well as occasional one-shot LARPs, and other events like socials, weapons practices, kit making sessions, and discussion groups.

The main campaign game for this academic year is {{current_system|extended}}. It has online interactives on Fridays (7-10pm), in-person linears on alternate Saturdays (around 1-4pm), with times and locations published on our website front page.

Other events, including one-shots, will be advertised throughout the year, so keep an eye out for those. For more details on what happens at the different types of event we run, please look under [http://www.camlarp.co.uk/Events_We_Run Events We Run].

== How much does it cost? ==
Membership to the society costs 5 pounds, and lasts for a year; this can be paid at the Annual General Meeting in May. 

After you have settled in, you may wish to acquire some costume, props or weapons for yourself. We run a free-cycle at the start of the year and many veterans can offer advice on how to build your own costume cheaply (we also run kit-making sessions). Additionally, you can always borrow from our extensive [[Armoury|armoury]] for as long as you wish.

== Can I play? ==
Although it is a University Society, CLS is not just for students attending the University of Cambridge! We are happy to meet anybody who wants to take part or just get in touch to learn more, although you must be over 16 to play. It is not necessary to live in Cambridge to attend - we have players who commute to events from much further afield.

CLS aims to be fully inclusive, so if you are worried that you might have difficulty taking part please get in touch and we will work out how we could help you play. We welcome players with disabilities, and our games are designed with the intention of allowing a wide range of different ways to have fun - for instance, there are plenty of ways to engage without ever taking part in physical combat. For more info on accessibility, see our [[Access_Statement|Access Statement]].

== What if I’m nervous about roleplaying in front of other people? ==
It can certainly feel daunting roleplaying for the first time when you don’t know what to expect, but you’ll discover that it’s a lot less scary than you thought once you get started! Don't forget that even though you are in character during events, so is everybody else - CLS is run for the benefit of the people taking part, not for an audience, and people are focused on playing their own characters and enjoying the game together, rather than judging anyone else’s roleplay.

Many people also find that LARP is actually a great way to build confidence. Through role-play one can encounter challenging situations in a safe environment, from which it is always possible to back out. Participants can relax and socialise, explore their creative side, learn new skills (for example pick up an instrument to learn or discover a flair for composing ballads), exercise while having fun, and develop social skills. Ultimately, the aim is to have an enjoyable experience!

[[File:Daria_and_Avric.jpg|left|300px|Photo by Kay Chard]]
== How do I start? ==
For most events we run, you are free to just turn up! If we do run anything where we need to know in advance who’s coming, details will be available on the event’s advertisement.

If you are interested in coming to a session of the main game, feel free to [http://www.camlarp.co.uk/Contact_Us email the refs] so that we know to expect you and what sort of thing you might like to do, if you already know (we are also happy to see you unexpectedly, but we may be less prepared!). You don't have to commit to playing a character to turn up, we are happy to welcome you just to talk to you about the game and show you how it works, or you could be part of our [[Crewing|crew]] for the night.

Crewing (or “monstering”) means that the refs will give you a series of different short roles to play, such as political campaigners, mad scientists, assassins, public figures, or terrifying monsters (or even fluffy ones!). There are a range of different roles to suit different people, and you’re not obligated to play any you don’t want to, or aren’t able to. We recommend crewing as a fun way to try out LARP if you are unsure. Of course, if you do want to start playing a character right away you are very welcome, and we can also provide help with writing a character sheet and finding costume that you might need. If you want to chat with someone in advance, try our [http://www.camlarp.co.uk/Contact_Us Contact Us] page for details on where we all hang out.

You may wish to sign-up to our [https://lists.srcf.net/mailman/listinfo/larp-members mailing list] to keep up to date with news from the society.

== I haven't got any costume - what should I wear? ==
You don't need to wear anything specific to just show up to find out what we do in person. However, if you are planning to play or crew ("monster") at an event it’s best if you arrive dressed in loose, comfortable but plain clothing. Different events will have different costume requirements (which will be advertised on the event pages beforehand), but plain clothes are fine for everything. Dark plain trousers and a dark plain top (such as a plain t-shirt, or any kind of t-shirt turned inside out) are best, as you can then borrow costume from our Armoury to wear over the top. If you are coming to a Saturday Linear, you should also wear good shoes or boots as the ground may be slippery.

People generally arrive a bit earlier to put on their costume before the event, and there is usually places which can be used as changing facilities.

[[File:Aspirant.jpg|right|400px|Photo by Kay Chard]]
== What do I need to know before I turn up? ==
In order to take part in events, you need to read the [[Safety]] section of the website, which explains how to act if someone starts shouting confusing instructions at you and how to stay safe. The refs (or a safety officer) will also take you through this when you first arrive, as well as answering any questions you may have. You might also want to read our [http://www.camlarp.co.uk/New_Players/A_Guide_To_Roleplaying Guide To Roleplaying] if you have never LARPed before and are not sure what to do.

If you are bringing any weapons of your own these will need to be checked before you can use them.

== I'm ready! How do I start a character? ==
Once you are ready to create a character you will find everything you need in the [{{current system wiki}} {{current system}} site]. The pages there will explain the setting and the rules. Good luck! We look forward to seeing you at an event soon - and remember that you can [http://www.camlarp.co.uk/Contact_Us email the refs] if you have any questions.

==What if I cannot commit to coming to every event?==
You can come to as many events as you wish to, and stay for as long or as little as you want (eg there is no requirement to attend for the whole of the three hours on a Friday night Interactive and some people leave earlier).

If you are planning to take part in the main long game, and cannot make it every week, or cannot attend linears, do not let this discourage you from signing-up anyway. Many players attend only occasionally, and this should not hinder your character’s development.

If you don’t want to commit to playing the regular game but are still interested in trying out LARP, check out the website for updates on the occasional one-shots we run or come to have fun with our crew for the main game!

== What does this specific word mean? ==
Sometimes people use jargon that can be confusing if you’re new to larp - we have a [[Glossary|glossary here]] with some common terms, and if there’s anything missing from that don’t be afraid to ask!

Frequently Asked Questions

2025-10-01T21:02:35Z

Bink:

== What is Role-playing? ==
Role-playing is the act of playing the part of someone (or something) in a situation different from your real life. Specifically, in role-playing games players take on the roles of characters and describe, either verbally or through acting, how those characters behave. Role-playing games have been around for millenia, and encompass everything from children’s games of make believe, to tabletop games such as Dungeons and Dragons, to murder mystery games. Settings for roleplaying games are equally diverse, including complex fantastical worlds, dystopian futures, snapshots of modern society, and even entirely abstract realities.

Many role-playing games take place at a table, with the characters existing on paper, or as models on a board, or even without any paper at all, with players simply sitting around and talking. These games are commonly referred to as "tabletop" role-playing games.

[[File:CUTT_smoke.jpg|left|450px|Photo by Tom Garnett]]
== What is LARP? ==
LARP (Live Action Role-Playing, also written as larp) is a type of role-playing where you take on the mantle of your character physically and perform their actions in real life. This has some advantages and some disadvantages over traditional tabletop role-playing. Swinging heroically from a chandelier while fighting a horde of angry goblins might work in your imagination, but actually doing it is another matter. On the other hand, what you do in LARP is a lot more immersive than most tabletop games. LARP takes elements from improvised theatre, tabletop roleplaying and genre fiction, and meshes them together to provide a uniquely immersive experience to players.

LARP games vary in length from a few minutes to over a week, from one-shots to long campaigns (which may last for years and run events at more or less regular intervals), and their settings vary even more. There is scope within LARP to play combat scenes with safe foam weapons, solve intriguing mysteries, rack your brain on complex puzzles, fight political battles, seek revenge, obtain glory, make friends, build relationships, save (or destroy) the world, and so on.

Safety

2025-09-29T12:51:02Z

Bink: /* Don’t hit non-contact players */

When taking part in any LARP, there are always rules to learn, but you shouldn’t worry too much if you don’t know them all. '''Safety is the big exception.'''

The safety rules are extremely important, and all players must know and adhere to them. People should only take part in LARP if they play safely.

With that in mind, please read and become familliar with these guidelines before starting to play.
== General safety ==
====Your own safety ====
:Nobody else is responsible for stopping you from doing something silly. If you jump in the river, or throw yourself to the ground in an elaborate but leg-breaking fashion, then it’s your own fault. If you are injured or tired or feel unwell, you should remove yourself from play and let a ref know. Use common sense. If you have a condition that other players should know about, then inform the refs before entering play, so they can inform everyone before play starts to keep you safe.
====The safety of people around you====
:If you see something unsafe happening, or feel that someone is acting in an unsafe manner, then you should do what you can to make sure they know about it. There are a number of ways to go about this:
=====STOP THE GAME=====
::STOP THE GAME is an out of character “call” that any player can use to alert all players to a dangerous situation. If somebody shouts STOP THE GAME you should immediately drop out of character, and stop moving. Repeat the call to people who may not have noticed it. You should use the STOP THE GAME call if you feel unsafe for any reason, if a genuine injury occurs, or for other situations where you need to stop play. We also use STOP THE GAME in CLS for lost glasses, which is why it’s important to stop moving if you hear the call.
=====Informing the player responsible=====
::If appropriate, raise the attention of other players if they are in danger (such as if they are about to fall in the river) or if they are acting unsafely. If somebody is hitting too hard, you can either inform a ref or call TOO HARD.
=====Informing a referee=====
::For non-immediate issues, inform a referee. If you have a problem with a specific referee, you can inform a different referee or you can inform a member of the exec.
=====Informing the exec=====
::If you would rather speak to the exec about a safety issue, that’s fine too.
====Listening to additional safety briefs====
:There is usually a brief on safety for any new location we use to play (such as scout camps, forests and the like) - if you arrive late, ask a ref if there’s anything you should be aware of. (For example, we often use coloured glowsticks to mark out hazards in the dark.)

== Weapon safety ==
====ONLY FIGHT WITH SUITABLE WEAPON PROPS====
:It is vitally important that you only fight with weapon and shield props that have been specifically built for LARP combat and that have been checked by an experienced weapons tester. '''Never''' hit people with any other item or prop.
====Don’t hit non-contact players====
:Some players can’t be hit for OOC reasons. Be very careful to respect this, and use the [https://lovelace.camlarp.co.uk/non-contact non-contact rules] if you do wish to attack them IC.

====Never stab with non-stab-safe weapons====
:Larp weapons tend to have fibreglass or carbon fibre cores. Stabbing with them can cause the core to slip along the weapon and make it unsafe. It’s also not nice to do it to people. This also applies to stabbing inanimate objects - resting a sword on the ground then leaning on it could also make it unsafe, so try to avoid this.
:In CLS, stabbing is only allowed with two-handed compressible-tip polearms that have been specifically designed for that purpose. It is your responsibility as a player to ensure that any polearm you pick up is “stab safe” before using it to stab with. Both your hands must remain on and in control of the polearm at all times. Running the haft through your leading hand (also known as “snooker cueing”) to increase the reach is not acceptable.
====Polearm safety====
:If you wish to use a polearm, you must undertake a polearm competency check by the safety officer.
====Pull your blows ====
:When striking with any larp weapon, try to land as light a blow as possible. If you are hitting someone too hard, they will tell you. If you feel that someone is hitting you too hard, you should tell them. Be especially mindful of this in the cold, where the foam in the weapons tends to become a little harder. Be especially mindful of this at night, because you can’t see people in the dark. Be especially careful when throwing weapons, and practice beforehand to get a feel for their speed in the air.
====Be especially careful with head attacks====
:Hitting someone hard in the head is completely out of order. Do not do it. As a general consideration, only attack someone on the head when it is the only viable target (a large shield is the most common reason for this), and even then you should exercise cautious judgement.
====Check your weapons regularly====
:Damaged weapons can become unsafe to use, so inspect them for damage from time to time. If the society safety officer tells you a weapon is unsafe, it is unsafe regardless of previous rulings.
====There is no grappling or shield bashing or physical fighting in our game====
:Do not manhandle other people - it’s not polite and we don’t allow it. You may if you wish make a personal arrangement with another player to engage in more physical combat, but you must arrange this with each and every individual you wish to grapple with, and it is well worth checking on a per game basis that they are still fine with it - someone who is fine to grapple one week may have an injury the next. Similarly, just because one person is comfortable grappling with another does not mean either would be comfortable grappling with you. You should stop and ask before engaging in any physical interactions (such as picking someone up) unless you have arranged otherwise beforehand with them and know they will be comfortable with the situation.
====Don’t throw cored weapons====
:There are specially designed larp weapons that do not contain cores that are designed for throwing. Don’t throw other weapons.

====Don’t fight hand-to-hand with throwing weapons====
:The person you are fighting will not know your weapon is uncored, and if you parry with the uncored weapon, they won’t be expecting your weapon to bend.
====Bow safety====
:We use bows and crossbows in our game. If you wish to use a bow or a crossbow, you must first undertake a bow competency check with the society safety officer or somebody delegated by them. This will include how to check your arrows for the damage they will inevitably sustain. After an encounter you should check all arrows for damage, any that have been damaged should not be used. When firing judge your distance sensibly: if you shoot someone at point blank range the arrow will rebound straight into you - pointy bit first!
====Arrow safety for all players====
:Arrows/bolts cannot be blocked by anything except a shield or a person. You cannot parry them with weapons or catch them out of the air, as this poses unacceptable risk that the arrow will spin and start travelling pointy end first.
:When fighting, it is good practice to break from fighting for a second and try to throw any arrows out of the way or move the fight away from a fallen arrow. It is also good practice not to hit people doing this. There are two excellent reasons for this:
:*Arrows are expensive - if you break them the archer will get upset.
:*Broken arrows are a world of sharp, and if you land on one you will get upset as it impales you.

== Physical and emotional wellbeing ==
Participants in all of our games must follow the Society's [[Equality and diversity]] policy, which contains several topics that should never be raised.

If a situation arises that makes you uncomfortable out-of-character, you do not need to continue roleplaying it if you do not want to. If this occurs, drop OOC and get a ref, and they will help resolve the situation OOC without further roleplaying. It is absolutely fine to call STOP THE GAME in this situation.

If there is a specific issue that is likely to upset you and you are OK telling the refs about it, we’re happy to discuss how we can avoid that situation occurring in the game. If you’d prefer to speak to the Exec, that’s fine too.

== Advice ==
A list of some time honoured Cambridge Larp advice passed down through the ages

*Don’t fall in the river (on Granchester Meadow or Logan's Meadow)
*If it is cold, remember to dress warmly.
*Remember to bring drinking water, especially if it is hot.
*Always wear appropriate footwear, especially if it is muddy.
*Don’t lie on the floor behind people. If you are lying down in the middle of a melee and feel unsafe, quickly move yourself to be out of the way. Refs will also help move you, if they think things are looking unsafe

== Cambridge University Treasure Trap ==
Treasure Trap was one of the first LARP games in the UK, it began at Peckforton Castle, Cheshire, in 1981. The success of the game led to the creation of various spin-off societies, including Labyrinthe, Durham Treasure Trap (DUTT), and the (now extinct) Birmingham Treasure Trap.

[[File:CUTT_sword.jpg|400px|left|Photo by Tom Garnett]]
In 2002 Cambridge Treasure Trap was set up by two graduate students - Jennifer Curtis and Toni Badnall - who had enjoyed LARPing at DUTT during their undergraduate study at Durham and wanted to continue playing when they reached Cambridge.

The game of Cambridge Treasure Trap was in Grantabrugge, a loose analogue of medieval Cambridge. The game was inspired by fantasy media like Dungeons and Dragons, Dragonlance, and the Discworld Novels, but it also developed gradually through player action over its decade-long run. Players could play characters of various Races, such as elves, dwarves, or humans, and could be affiliated with city institutions, the colourful colleges of Magic, or any of the thirteen available religions.

== Cambridge LARP Society ==
In 2014, the society decided to wrap up CUTT in favour of limited-run systems written by the active player base. At the same time the society's name was changed to Cambridge Larp Society to reflect that the game was no longer Treasure Trap.

[[File:Explorer_manifested.jpg|right|400px|Photo by Kay Chard]]
=== No Flag No Country ===
CLS’s first game post-Treasure Trap was No Flag No Country (NFNC), a 2-year run pulp fantasy exploration and investigation game written by Ivan Slipper and James Blackshaw. NFNC ran between October 2014 and June 2016.

NFNC was set on the newly-discovered island of Mat Sellah. Each of the characters could be one of three races (standard Human, tattooed and pointy-eared Alfar, or scaly Ozgur) and hold a strong allegiance to one of the four churches, one of the three countries of the nearby continent, or one of two other investigative factions. The characters arrived on Mat Sellah to investigate and take advantage of the appearance of a magical Portal which surged with power from the Beyond, the place where both Gods and the demonic entities called Strangers lived. The game ended with the characters, having inadvertently used up most of the Portal’s power for their research, using its final gasp to allow The Explorer, one of the Gods, to manifest in the world.

More information about No Flag No Country can be found on [http://nfnc.camlarp.co.uk/Main_Page its website].

[[File:Arginet-IC-v2 small.jpg|left|383px]]

=== Breaking Worlds ===
CLS’s third game was Breaking Worlds, a 2-year run apocalyptic fantasy game written by Nye Redman-White and Rosemary Warner. Breaking Worlds (BW) ran from October 2016 to May 2018.

BW was set in the island realm of Arginet, which until a year before the start of the game had been a stable and peaceful place. However, cracks had started appearing in the fabric of reality in a metaphysical outburst known simply as the Breaking, bringing with them strange people and dangerous creatures. In this tumultuous time, the characters of the game came together to explore, exploit, and defend against the tumultuous spirit world and the mysterious threat from beyond.

The game ended with the characters defeating the power-hungry other-world scientists who caused the disaster and uniting 5 diverse worlds to cooperate and restore the fabric of reality.

More information about Breaking Worlds can be found on [http://bw.camlarp.co.uk/Breaking_Worlds its website].

=== The Citadel ===
Our fourth game was The Citadel, a one year run post-apocalyptic science-fantasy game written by Robb Smith, Ivan Slipper and Pia Salter. Centuries after the Decline, an ancient citadel of advanced technology reopens, offering the local tribes of the Outlook an opportunity to learn the secrets within.

After learning of the Citadel's sinister past and purpose, and overcoming many challenges, the characters defeated the super-advanced AIs to gain dominion over the Citadel's core. After heated debate they chose to destroy it, so that the Citadel could never again be used to manipulate and dominate humanity.

More information about The Citadel can be found on [http://citadel.camlarp.co.uk/ its website].

=== Obscura ===
Our game for 2019-2020 was Obscura, a one year run fantasy game written by Jon Cooper. Centuries ago the world was a dark place, dominated by monstrous creatures and powerful magic, until a group of adventurers performed the Sealing, cutting off the magical realm from the mortal. Magic faded and science grew to fill the gap. Now the Sealing is starting to unravel and magic is returning, are the dark times destined to return, or can something be done to stop it?

Sadly the Obscura campaign was not completed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

More information about Obscura can be found on [http://obscura.camlarp.co.uk/ its website].

=== Dark Moon ===
Our game for 2021-2022 was Dark Moon, a one year run urban shadow fantasy game of vampires, were-creatures and changelings struggling to live in the modern world they keep having to save, written by Kes Ward and Jim Blackshaw.

More information about Dark Moon can be found on [https://sites.google.com/view/clsdarkmoon/ its website].

=== Falling Sky ===
Our game for 2022-2023 was Falling Sky, a one year run fantasy game of sky piracy in a broken world, written by Alex Stuart. Twenty years ago the Architects of Ascension stole the powers of a dead god and used them to break the world, causing it to be consumed by the Great Storm above, or fall in to the Hells below. The survivors of humanity eke out an existence in sky ships between them, raiding the pieces of the World-That-Was as they fall from the storm in to hell.

After defeating the Architects and their now-ascended leader, the godlike Apex, the Seekers created a new Unity Forge and remade the world, becoming its new gods.

More information about Falling Sky can be found on [https://fallingsky.camlarp.co.uk its website].

=== Unusual Haunts ===
The game for 2023-2024 was Unusual Haunts, a one year fantasy game of survival, exploration and community in a dangerous world of mist and legend, written by Seffie Davison. With food running out, the intrepid inhabitants of the village of Penwick Gorge were forced to venture over The Bridge to the unknown beyond the mists, finding wonders and dangers beyond their imagining.

After learning of the true nature of the universe and integrating several other worlds in to their own, they shepherded the spirit of the village to a new stage of existence, making Penwick the centre of a new, wider world.

More information about Unusual Haunts can be found on [https://uh.camlarp.co.uk its website].

=== Norse Angels ===
The game for 2024-2025 was Norse Angels, a one year norse high fantasy game of godlings facing Ragnarok, written by Sarah Bewick and Bea Johnson. The characters are godlings, created by the gods to overcome the challenges of Ragnarok in their name, but rumour has it Loki has snuck some of his own into their ranks to sow chaos...

After shepherding the world through Ragnarok, and the death of many gods and monsters, the new pantheon of some old gods and some new arose to take stewardship of a new age.

More information about Norse Angels can be found on [https://norseangels.camlarp.co.uk its website].

=== Lovelace, Tesla and Killer Robots ===
The game for 2025-2026 is Lovelace, Tesla and Killer Robots, a victoriana game of intrepid resistance against a mighty machine empire.

More information about Lovelace, Tesla and Killer Robots can be found on [https://lovelace.camlarp.co.uk its website].

Twenty years ago the Architects of Ascension stole the powers of a dead god and used them to break the world, causing it to be consumed by the Great Storm above, or fall in to the Hells below. The survivors of humanity eke out an existence in sky ships between them, raiding the pieces of the World-That-Was as they fall from the storm in to hell.

After defeating the Architects and their now-ascended leader, the godlike Apex, the Seekers created a new Unity Forge and remade the world, becoming its new gods.

More information about Falling Sky can be found on [https://fallingsky.camlarp.co.uk its website].

=== Unusual Haunts ===
The game for 2023-2024 was Unusual Haunts, a one year fantasy game of survival, exploration and community in a dangerous world of mist and legend, written by Seffie Davison. With food running out, the intrepid inhabitants of the village of Penwick Gorge were forced to venture over The Bridge to the unknown beyond the mists, finding wonders and dangers beyond their imagining.

After learning of the true nature of the universe and integrating several other worlds in to their own, they shepherded the spirit of the village to a new stage of existence, making Penwick the centre of a new, wider world.

More information about Unusual Haunts can be found on [https://uh.camlarp.co.uk its website].

=== Norse Angels ===
The game for 2024-2025 is Norse Angels, a one year norse high fantasy game of godlings facing Ragnarok, written by Sarah Bewick and Bea Johnson. The characters are godlings, created by the gods to overcome the challenges of Ragnarok in their name, but rumour has it Loki has snuck some of his own into their ranks to sow chaos...

After shepherding the world through Ragnarok, and the death of many gods and monsters, the new pantheon of some old gods and some new arose to take stewardship of a new age.

Bink: /* 1) Treasurer's Report */

== 1) Treasurer's Report ==

Society's current holdings are at:

Cash assets: £621 + change 
Bank balance: £696.47

A more complete report to be issued and circulated at an Extraordinary General Meeting in the future (see details later in minutes).

== 2) President's Report ==

Problem with student membership, and associated affiliation with the university. Affiliation's main benefit is Public Liability Insurance [details of which TBC]; non-student socs can still advertise at Fresher's Fair. De-affiliating with intention of reaffiliation later awkward, as re-affiliation requires half student membership of the society overall. As submissions to university not required until end of year, options are either to deaffiliate, or to wait until the new term and try to get new student members to be elected.

=== Arising motion ===

'''Should the Society attempt to remain affiliated with Cambridge University for the coming year, or de-affiliate?'''

This was voted on under the understanding that:
* Due to a year without recruitment, there were not sufficient student members in the Society to meet the University-mandated number of students in Exec positions with existing members (with previous student members since having graduated, or about to). It was suggested that we could recruit students in the upcoming Michaelmas term who could then join the exec as a way around this problem.
* Re-affiliation in future would require 50% of the Society to be students of the University.

'''Result:''' The society will de-affiliate from the University

== 4) Appointment of Committee ==

President - Raven Howard 
Treasurer - Jon Cooper 
Secretary - Chris Knowles 

== 5) Discussion of Game Format for next year ==

While the Society had previously voted on a Game for the 20/21 academic year, and the lead ref from that team was happy to run for the 21/22 year, following discussion of the Society's finances, and the implications that those and the pandemic might have on our ability and desire to run games indoors, the exec requested that the vote for the Game Format for the next year include a pitch on how the game might be run, as well as the game to be run, eg to include a specification of the frequency of events and where they may be held. As the potential Referees for the 21/22 year had not built that in to their pitches at this time, it was requested that they do so for an Extraordinary General Meeting to be held later this year, where there would also be changes to the Society's Constitution presented that would allow for a change of format (eg rewording 'The Society will run regular adventure and interactive events within The Game.').

== 6) Appointment of next year's Referee Team ==

Deferred until Extraordinary General Meeting.

== 7) Extraordinary General Meeting plan ==

The following are proposed points for an Extraordinary General Meeting before the start of the next academic term. As usual, further motions can be raised in advance or at the meeting. As per the Constitution, there will be at least 2 weeks notice of this meeting.

*Full 20/21 Treasurer's Report
*System Pitch
**To include how often the system would intend to run, and the general type of venue in each case. The Exec would then be responsible for choice of specific venue. We welcome the same underlying system being submitted multiple times with different event frequencies/locations so that they may be voted on separately.
*Report on Public Liability Insurance, to determine whether the Society should seek to purchase some now that we are no longer affiliated with the University
*Changes to the Society Constitution arising from deaffiliation

Society History

2025-05-19T09:10:34Z

Bink: /* Norse Angels */

== Cambridge University Treasure Trap ==
Treasure Trap was one of the first LARP games in the UK, it began at Peckforton Castle, Cheshire, in 1981. The success of the game led to the creation of various spin-off societies, including Labyrinthe, Durham Treasure Trap (DUTT), and the (now extinct) Birmingham Treasure Trap.

[[File:CUTT_sword.jpg|400px|left|Photo by Tom Garnett]]
In 2002 Cambridge Treasure Trap was set up by two graduate students - Jennifer Curtis and Toni Badnall - who had enjoyed LARPing at DUTT during their undergraduate study at Durham and wanted to continue playing when they reached Cambridge.

The game of Cambridge Treasure Trap was in Grantabrugge, a loose analogue of medieval Cambridge. The game was inspired by fantasy media like Dungeons and Dragons, Dragonlance, and the Discworld Novels, but it also developed gradually through player action over its decade-long run. Players could play characters of various Races, such as elves, dwarves, or humans, and could be affiliated with city institutions, the colourful colleges of Magic, or any of the thirteen available religions.

== Cambridge LARP Society ==
In 2014, the society decided to wrap up CUTT in favour of limited-run systems written by the active player base. At the same time the society's name was changed to Cambridge Larp Society to reflect that the game was no longer Treasure Trap.

[[File:Explorer_manifested.jpg|right|400px|Photo by Kay Chard]]
=== No Flag No Country ===
CLS’s first game post-Treasure Trap was No Flag No Country (NFNC), a 2-year run pulp fantasy exploration and investigation game written by Ivan Slipper and James Blackshaw. NFNC ran between October 2014 and June 2016.

NFNC was set on the newly-discovered island of Mat Sellah. Each of the characters could be one of three races (standard Human, tattooed and pointy-eared Alfar, or scaly Ozgur) and hold a strong allegiance to one of the four churches, one of the three countries of the nearby continent, or one of two other investigative factions. The characters arrived on Mat Sellah to investigate and take advantage of the appearance of a magical Portal which surged with power from the Beyond, the place where both Gods and the demonic entities called Strangers lived. The game ended with the characters, having inadvertently used up most of the Portal’s power for their research, using its final gasp to allow The Explorer, one of the Gods, to manifest in the world.

More information about No Flag No Country can be found on [http://nfnc.camlarp.co.uk/Main_Page its website].

[[File:Arginet-IC-v2 small.jpg|left|383px]]

=== Breaking Worlds ===
CLS’s third game was Breaking Worlds, a 2-year run apocalyptic fantasy game written by Nye Redman-White and Rosemary Warner. Breaking Worlds (BW) ran from October 2016 to May 2018.

BW was set in the island realm of Arginet, which until a year before the start of the game had been a stable and peaceful place. However, cracks had started appearing in the fabric of reality in a metaphysical outburst known simply as the Breaking, bringing with them strange people and dangerous creatures. In this tumultuous time, the characters of the game came together to explore, exploit, and defend against the tumultuous spirit world and the mysterious threat from beyond.

The game ended with the characters defeating the power-hungry other-world scientists who caused the disaster and uniting 5 diverse worlds to cooperate and restore the fabric of reality.

More information about Breaking Worlds can be found on [http://bw.camlarp.co.uk/Breaking_Worlds its website].

=== The Citadel ===
Our fourth game was The Citadel, a one year run post-apocalyptic science-fantasy game written by Robb Smith, Ivan Slipper and Pia Salter. Centuries after the Decline, an ancient citadel of advanced technology reopens, offering the local tribes of the Outlook an opportunity to learn the secrets within.

After learning of the Citadel's sinister past and purpose, and overcoming many challenges, the characters defeated the super-advanced AIs to gain dominion over the Citadel's core. After heated debate they chose to destroy it, so that the Citadel could never again be used to manipulate and dominate humanity.

More information about The Citadel can be found on [http://citadel.camlarp.co.uk/ its website].

=== Obscura ===
Our game for 2019-2020 was Obscura, a one year run fantasy game written by Jon Cooper. Centuries ago the world was a dark place, dominated by monstrous creatures and powerful magic, until a group of adventurers performed the Sealing, cutting off the magical realm from the mortal. Magic faded and science grew to fill the gap. Now the Sealing is starting to unravel and magic is returning, are the dark times destined to return, or can something be done to stop it?

Sadly the Obscura campaign was not completed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

More information about Obscura can be found on [http://obscura.camlarp.co.uk/ its website].

=== Dark Moon ===
Our game for 2021-2022 was Dark Moon, a one year run urban shadow fantasy game of vampires, were-creatures and changelings struggling to live in the modern world they keep having to save, written by Kes Ward and Jim Blackshaw.

More information about Dark Moon can be found on [https://sites.google.com/view/clsdarkmoon/ its website].

=== Falling Sky ===
Our game for 2022-2023 was Falling Sky, a one year run fantasy game of sky piracy in a broken world, written by Alex Stuart. Twenty years ago the Architects of Ascension stole the powers of a dead god and used them to break the world, causing it to be consumed by the Great Storm above, or fall in to the Hells below. The survivors of humanity eke out an existence in sky ships between them, raiding the pieces of the World-That-Was as they fall from the storm in to hell.

=== Unusual Haunts ===
The game for 2023-2024 was Unusual Haunts, a one year fantasy game of survival, exploration and community in a dangerous world of mist and legend, written by Felix Davison. With food running out, the intrepid inhabitants of the village of Penwick Gorge were forced to venture over The Bridge to the unknown beyond the mists, finding wonders and dangers beyond their imagining.

The game for 2024-2025 is Norse Angels, a one year norse high fantasy game of godlings facing Ragnarok, written by Sarah Bewick and Bea Johnson. The characters are godlings, created by the gods to overcome the challenges of Ragnarok in their name, but rumour has it Loki has snuck some of his own into their ranks to sow chaos...
