Far away worlds have suddenly converged into a strange new land, and at its center is a powerful source of energy and magic: The Wellspring. But The Grey—a Void where no life can survive—is quickly creeping into the edges of inhabitable land, and the civilizations surrounding the Wellspring are locked in a brutal war for control and survival. Player characters must come together during a time of great uncertainty to discover the secrets of the Wellspring, and forge a future.
Wellspring is a Live-Action Roleplaying Game with boffer combat, in a high-stakes, high-fantasy setting with elements of both magic and magitech. Players will share in a complete story over the course of 3 years and 12 weekend games. New players are welcome to join in at any time, and staff will provide opportunities to bring new players up to speed.
We strive to create a game that is accessible for new players and content-rich for seasoned LARPers. While combat is a major element of the game, there are also many non-combat or low-combat roles such as gatherers, crafters, ritual casters, and social or political influencers. Kindness is expected from all staff and players, and there is zero tolerance for harassment.
