Hey, folks. A friend of ours will be hosting a Star Wars LARP event at the Glaze’s property in a few weeks and I’m helping spread the word. See below to find out what Jacob Van V has in store!
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…
The Grand Republic has fallen. Machinations from within have eroded the Republic from its very foundations in the senate; the Jedi Order lies in ruins, branded as traitors as Emperor Sheev Palpatine claims his new throne atop its ashes; clone squadrons clad as fearsome Stormtroopers march through the galaxy to stamp out dissent and rebellion. A new Sith Lord has risen in service to this new Galactic Empire. Darth Vader stalks the galaxy for Jedi, slaughtering any and all that stand in his way. Communities harbouring Jedi fugitives are burned to ash and the desiccated corpses of their erstwhile inhabitants lie in the broken streets to warn any who might defy their new overlords.
A mere year has passed since you escaped the Great Jedi Purge. Maybe you fled the Jedi Temple as it burned, clone squadrons guarding the halls and murdering all they found. Maybe your master sacrificed themselves as their clones turned against them to give you time to escape the firing squads. Or perhaps you were simply on remote enough a planet that news of the Jedi’s demise reached you before the perpetrators of the slaughter. However you survived, survived you have – but a Padawan standing alone is insignificant next to the power of the Empire.
Standing alone, that is.
You’ve heard of a resistance growing on Kashyyk. Only rumors, of course, but persistant enough to make you consider coming out of hiding. An alliance of rebels determined to stand before the might of your oppressors and bring them down.
You don’t know if you’re the last Jedi, or if others have survived. You don’t know if this ‘rebel alliance’ has any chance of standing before Palpatine’s war machine. But you do know that if ever there was a time to stand, it is now. You’ll free the galaxy… or you’ll die trying.
Of course, the rumors also speak of Vader. Some say that he didn’t exterminate all the Jedi he came across – rather, he brought them to the Dark Side of the Force. Supposedly, he has formed a squadron of dark acolytes to assist him in his hunt for the last remnants of the Jedi Order… but those rumors couldn’t possibly be true, could they?
And this Inquisitiorius couldn’t possibly be hiding amongst the rebels… could they?
Safe travels to Kashyyk, Padawan. We’ll see you very soon.Time/Date: 1400H (2:00 PM) – 2100H (9:00 PM) on 26 September at Sweet Rayne (Glaze’s home)
What to bring: Yourself, a costume, maybe some food, and either a lightsaber or $5 (seriously, lightsabers are stupid hard to find. If you need one on the cheap, email Jacob at [email protected] to let him know you’re interested in one of the $5 ones; he can get it to you on the day of LARP.) If you are interested in attending PLEASE RSVP to [email protected] to help with planning for numbers.
Stay tuned for another post regarding rules and mechanics of the game.
Adventure awaits and may the force be with you!
