Battlefield Bangkok

We’ve had a number of LARP style games in the store, which Ultimate Werewolf and Who killed the King,  so now we’re taking things up a notch to a full on LARP, with Amanda running a demo of the Vampire the Requiem LARP,  using the Mind’s Eye Theatre rules system.  So what is it?

Mind’s Eye Theatre is a live action role-playing system based on White Wolf’s World of Darkness setting. In the World of Darkness, players enter a gothic version of our world and time where Vampires, Werewolves, Wraiths, Mages and even Fairies or Mummies exist. Told through the eyes of a storyteller, players interact with one another and mold the story after their own designs. Games feature political intrigue, moral issues, supernatural events, simulated combat and the clash between horror and humanity. Truth be told, most players compare it more to an impromptu theater than a role-playing game. This is because in most of the games the storyteller acts like a director and gives a general storyline, then allows the players to go where they want with the story, only controlling minimally by throwing in plot twists and antagonists where needed to keep the story going to the conclusion he would like to see

Saturday August 15th, 6PM kick off.  Fangs and vampire clothing optional   Contact the store team to register and book your place.

Our first VTES tournament lasted the whole day and had nine players battling through out the day to make the final round. After three rounds of battle the final round saw Bobby, Jom, Josh, Cleveland and Myself (Chris) qualify. As the best qualifier Josh had prime choice of positioning and sat far away from the only Intercept deck left in play.  The first few rounds were slow and careful, but things soon heated up and Bobby was the first to call, nibbled away by rats and then finished off by a swarm attack from Cleveland. This briefly left  Cleveland looking exposed but Josh’s first political action gave most of the players lots of blood and bolsted him up. Meanwhile Jom was chipping away at me, while my deck refused to give me the cards I needed to get rolling until a little too late. Then just when I was feeling safe Jom rushed in at me while I had 6 blood left and was feeling pretty safe…and nailed me for the lot.  Then Josh went to town with the votes, gradually crippling Jom and Cleveland. A few rounds later Josh found himself on the receiving end of a flurry of votes and was ousted. Leaving Cleveland to face Josh in what appeared to be an uneven battle. For a while though it looked like Cleveland might actually win through as Josh was obviously short of powerful referendum cards…but that didn’t last long and finally the vote was called that sent Cleveland out and crowned Josh the champion of our first VTES tournament.

Congrats to Josh and thanks to everyone who joined in. Over the next couple of weeks we’ll be holding some smaller booster draft tournaments, and getting ready for our first constructed deck tournament in August!

We’re looking at running a 500 Point Steamroller event on August 12th (all day) , if you’re interested in joining in, or have a better suggestion for the date, then please drop us a note. We’re looking for 8 to 12 players. Priority to Warmachine but we’ll most likely open it to Hordes too if we’re asked and don’t have enough Warmachine faction players.
