August 12 2023 Playtest and Fundraiser Registration

It’s time for playtest registration! Please read below and sign-up asap so we can begin planning. Registration link here.

This is the registration for the Zealot August 12 Playtest and Fundraiser.

This event will occur 2pm-9:30pm at the Sturbridge Host Hotel and Conference Center in Sturbridge, MA.

The event cost is $30 per person. If you are a first-time boffer larper (have never larped in a boffer combat larp) the price is $20. The cost of the event reflects site cost and fundraising efforts. You are welcome to pay more to support the fundraiser itself. We will also have a “tip jar” at the event where you can make cash or PayPal donations. All players who attend or make a donation will receive 2 CP. Payment is due August 1 2023.

PayPal witchtowers@gmail.com to pay. Please make a note of your name in the memo.

In lieu of a formal Kickstarter or similar fundraiser, we have decided to make our playtest our fundraising opportunity. The event schedule and general theme follow:

2pm-3:30pm: The Zealot Game Philosophy
We’ll introduce our staff, our philosophy, and the general scope of the game. We’ll talk about character creation and specific game functions such as the Rumor, Crafting, and Blessing systems. We will reserve time for QnA.

After the introduction, we will move into modules. These will have combat and non-combat options. All modules will have a specific theme. All players, regardless of interest, may participate in any module.

3:30pm-4:30pm: Beodhen and Nepheris
4:30pm-5:30pm Steramestei and Kasamei
5:30pm-6:30pm The Abyss
6:30pm-7:30pm Verine, Opix, and T’Rer
7:30pm-8:30pm Hyrnedhna and Mynair
8:30pm-9:30pm Gu’labir and T’Zyri
9:30pm and On: Social Time!

Throughout the day, we will offer character consultations. Please sign up below.

The modules will be in-game. They will take place during and immediately after the Blood War, not in the current time of the game (which is roughly 35 years later).

While the events and happenings will be canonical, player action will work slightly differently. You are welcome to play your PC or can request we write you a one-time PC background for the playtest. If you play as your character, your events as your character will not be canonical; however, at the full game, you can choose to “remember” the playtest as though it was a vision from your God. If you play a pre-written character, you may assume the events you undertook were canonical.

You may wear any level of costuming with which you are comfortable. If you don’t wish to wear costuming, we suggest basic “NPC blacks” (black shirt and black bottoms). Let us know if you have questions about this. Staff will be in full costume.

Please make a PC build at 50 CP. We can also make you a pre-written build.

If you would like a pre-written build or character you will receive it within a week of submitting your payment.
