Welcome to Alliance Calgary Live Action Role-Playing
Our group is creating a new LARP for Calgary and area. We use the Alliance Rulebook as our base and will have a few "'Local Chapter Only" rules in place as well. If you want to talk with us there is always our Facebook or on our forums!
February's Event!
Our first evening event. This is an introductory event for all the players to gather in garb and learn introduce their characters to others. It is set where all good adventures start, A TAVERN!
Welcome to the Merry Minstrel! Games of skill and chance are at every table. Some nefarious characters will test your skills at dice, cards, dagger throwing and more! More information can be found here

Memberships
The first thing we will need is to get memberships as soon as possible. These memberships allow us to build props and weapons 
and reserver our Weekend events well in advance to insure we have everything needed to make the events as great as possible.

Work Days coming up
We have been running several "Work Days" for the LARP and we will continue to run these as often as possible. As you can imagine there is a lot of things that need to be built, sewn and painted to bring the LARP to life! You can find out what Work Days and Workshops we are running here.

Our Website.
We are working hard to constantly update this site with the latest infromation that we have access to. We are adding to the site constantly to help players get the information they need to get involved in the LARP!
All the Information you will need
Lots of things from what you need to participate, things you will want to bring for your first weekend event as well as all the background information you need to create a fantastic character (PC). Browse through the site, take a look around! If you have any questions just head to the Contact Us page and we will do our best to reply to you quickly!
Jargon
There are a lot of things you may run into on the site and for our ease of getting the information out here are some common terms that will be spread out throughout the website (and many of the documents)
- PC- Player Character- the persona you take on during events
- NPC- Non-player Character. This is our Monsters and personas that players assume to challenge the players and give them information they require (such as the King is an NPC)
- IG- In Game. When you are at an event you are always considered to be In Game and must play your character appropriately and not break character.
- OOG- Out-of Game. Sometimes you go OOG for things like cooking your food or sleeping. Monsters will be OOG if they have to pass through the IG area on their way to set up a module. You need to show you are OOG by wearing a WHITE headband. You should never be OOG in an IG area.
- Ops- Operations Manager, the owner of the Chapter
- GM- General Manager of Alliance Calgary
- PLOT- the person(s) in charge of writing the story and adventures for all of our events
- GS or Goblin Stamps- These are "rewards" and "thank yous" given to players and NPCs for volunteering, donations etc. They are collected and spent to improve your PC and purchase IG benefits.
- Logistics (LOG)- Logistics is where all the people that actually run the event are located. These people print out character cards, monster cards, item "tags" etc. These are the people at the weekend that run the show.
- Physrep- A physical representation of any IG item. Saying you swing your sword is much different that actually wielding the physrep.
- LCO- Local Chapter Only. These are items/abilities/rewards that will only work in Calgary.
Alliance Rulebook v1.1
As we use the Alliance LARP rulebook there are 2 ways to get your hands on this. All players are expected to have a copy of this book with them for events.
- Purchase a copy of the book from Alliance Calgary. It is soft covered. $22.00 CDN
- Purchase a PDF online from Alliance. It is only $5.99USD. Please note that you need to have a printed copy with you for events. You are not premitted to bring any electronics IG.
