ARCANE is a Live Action RPG having its big opening event on May 1-3rd, in Madison, Connecticut. Here’s what it’s all about:

Immersion focused fantasy larp. We want you to feel like you’re in a real place, so our rules are as invisible as possible. You don’t have to call out damage numbers when you swing, and we emphasize role playing and atmosphere.





Great costumes and props. Both our players and NPCs have really outdone themselves. None of our treasure consists of “tags” - we use real crystals, rune stones, and bones, as opposed to an index card with an item description on it.

Your story begins in a low-fantasy setting where magic and monsters only exist in folklore. Your character wins a lottery and gets to pass through a portal to join a settlement in a place called the Glean Zara.





The Glean is a fantastic place. After coming through the portal, your character will experience magic and monsters for the first time.





Two clans of monsters live nearby: Ratkin, and Demon worshiping barbarians called the Children of Pan. These NPCs are in game 24 hours a day, playing persistent characters. If you want to spy on the enemy clan, assassinate their leader, or try your hand at diplomacy, you can just go out and do it as if they are any other players at the event. They are all playing their own characters and have freedom to play how they’d like, so their reactions to you are organic — not scripted. Every plotline will unfold in a unique, organic way.

You don’t need a character class or game skill to play the game. Anybody can wear armor and swing a weapon. In-game guilds exist which can teach you skills related to fighting, magic, alchemy, religion, and numerous others that will be unlocked as the game progresses.







All class progression is done in-game. Every progression system is unique.



For example, if you want to learn a magic spell, you have to find magical crystals, grind them up into powder, build a specific ritual circle using that powder, then perform a ritual inside of it. This gives you access to that spell once per day. If you find the Arcane Nexus (hidden somewhere on the campsite at the intersection of two ley-lines) you can gain additional castings.

Or if you want to be a rune-warrior, you search for rune stones which can be summoned from a defeated enemy. By discovering secret patterns of runes, you can imbue your weapon with magical attacks.

Or if you want to become an alchemist, you’ll need to track down special herbs which are hidden in the woods. You’ll brew tea using our crazy alchemical apparatus, and then put those potions into vials. New potions may be discovered using empirical experimentation.





Great Community - our players and NPCs are extremely friendly and welcoming. We’ll make you feel like a member of the settlement in no time!
