Mortal Tears LARP

When you attend a Mortal Tears event, you will discover the following game attributes:

Atmosphere - We believe that a detailed atmosphere is important to creating a strong role-play environment. For this reason at every event you will find a fully decorated tavern complete with brick facades on the walls, electric flame lanterns, a wooden bar with medieval style mugs, pitchers, food and drink and even a tavern wench! You will find fireplaces and a bonfire that can be used to affect other characters. The players also use visually pleasing props to represent their weapons, locks and personal effects. The players contribute to this atmosphere by decorating their own rooms as befits their character. As a general rule, if an item is not represented by a prop, then it does not exist at the game.

Intense Roleplay - All participants of a Mortal Tears event engage in constant immersive roleplay that not only contributes to the atmosphere, but also to the enjoyment of all the other players around them. The players roleplay to such depths that you will find them playing their characters even when they are alone in a room. Additionally, there is no difference between player characters and Storyteller characters. All characters are interacted with by everyone on the same intense roleplay level.

Simple Rules - We believe that rules should facilitate roleplay, not become the focus of a roleplaying event. With this in mind the house rules have been written with a simplicity of thought which makes them clear and simple to learn. Players are expected to become familiar with the rules and use them as they are written, fair for everyone.

Costumes - Costumes are an important part of maintaining the fiction of your character. All costumes should be, at the least, strongly inspired by the early 13th century.

Politics - Politics and social dynamics between characters provide drama in any larp. At Mortal Tears you will find politics inherent to the interactions between vampires, werecreatures, mortals and wraiths. What you will not find is politicking between the players or between the players and the Storytellers. At Mortal Tears we are all friends, new and old players alike, and don't see a need to engage in such negative actions.

WHAT DO WE EXPECT FROM YOU?
Of course with all the above aspects you can expect from us, there are a few things we expect from our players. As a player of Mortal Tears, you are expected to be as passionate about roleplay and atmosphere as we are. You should know our house rules, be familiar with medieval feudal society and, if you choose to play anything other then human, you should be very knowledgeable of your characters Clan or Tribe within the old World of Darkness Dark Ages. You are responsible for bringing your own costume, weapons and props that you need to play the game and also any personal items that you will need as well (such as a sleeping bag and food, some food is provided at the Tavern, see Events). And please bring a wonderful attitude and willingness to try something new, you will have a blast!
