This event will be located in Camp Kettle Run in Medford, NJ. Right across the bridge from Philadelphia into New Jersey. Very convenient for anyone who wants to try live action roleplaying in Pennsylvania, Delaware, or New York.
Notable things about the October (or “Octis” as we call it in-game) LARP event:
Octis is the month of Cool Winds. At the peak of the harvest, commoners work by the light of the autumn moon to bring in the majority of their crops. Tree leaves have changed, painting the landscape of the northern part of the realm into brilliant red, yellow, and orange colors.
Evermoore fell during the month of Octis, and the destruction of Evermoore has tainted this time of the year by rending the veil between the past and the present. Octis is a month of fear for those living near the locations of major battles during the Age of Death. The world here remains tainted and care must be taken whenever the sun goes down during this month.
After the destruction of Evermoore, goblins began lighting carved pumpkins to keep away the vengeful spirits of those slain during the siege of Evermoore. The tradition spread throughout the realm, and many cultures carve faces into pumpkins during the month of Octis to keep away the restless spirits
During this time of year, amid swirls of white ectoplasm, apparitions appear giving people glimpses of the past. These apparitions have no substance and cannot be interacted with, instead they flow just like a play for anyone who stares long enough in their direction.
Sometimes necrotic energies can give rise to the spontaneous animation of corpses so all bodies must be carefully embalmed during this season. Errant energies flowing over the sites of ancient battlefield will sometimes give rise to the soldiers buried there.
