Beste Larpers Voor 6-7-8- mei ben ik met spoed op zoek naar enkele larpers die he...t leuk vinden om in Walibi voorlichting te geven over larp en mee te doen aan een arena. We gaan er: - Het publiek informeren over larp. - Een gevechtsarena opzetten waarin het publiek kan zwaardvechten zowel tegen elkaar als tegen ons - met 3 monsters shoots doen en af en toe mee vechten in de arena. (De pakken komen vanuit Belgie) De activiteiten vinden vooral plaats van 16.00 tot 22.00 uur. Maar de stand is wel de hele dag bemand. Op het inschrijfformulier kun je aangeven welke activiteiten je leuk lijken en welke niet. Wat bieden wij je: - 3 dagen in Walibi ( http://www.walibi.com/holland/nl-nl/ ) - reiskostenvergoeding en wellicht een klein extraatje - overnachten op de camping nabij incl. 3 maaltijden per dag en een biertje 's avonds - hard werken, maar ook veel gezelligheid - kostuum als je dat niet hebt - wapens om te gebruiken zodat je eigen wapens niet sneuvelen Wat ve

The Witcher 2 builds upon these distinctive strengths within an all-new storyline filled with complex characters, captivating politi

Northlands sourcebook for Pathfinder

The Open Design sourcebook for adventures in the icy north is causing impressionable youths to wear furry hats and quaff from horns. Okay, so maybe it's not having that strong an effect. But we're seeing some great reviews for Northlands : An innovative treatment of the Northlands for Midgard inspired by Norse and Viking myth flavoured with steppe Russian, Finnish and Inuit culture. Being a bit of a Norse snob, this was a joy to read and as usual if you can't use it all, then you can certainly plunder the choice bits of this hoard. - Fame and Fortune Northlands is an excellent example of Open Design at its finest. Whether you like to personally craft your campaign world, or use completely pre-packaged settings, you will find plenty of value in this publication. - Review on the Paizo Store If you ever want to include a viking culture in your game, you need this product. Brilliant, brilliant stuff. My highest possible rating. - Review on the Paizo Store Northlands do
