Zeppelin Games are a Live-Action Role-Playing group based in Melbourne, Australia. We've been running steampunk-inspired LARP and freeform events since 2009.
You are invited to our next event!
26-28 August 2011: A Festive Occasion and Furtive Speculation
The sleepy town of Lesser Colton is stirring!
Rumours of shady characters and horrible happenings plague the community's quiet reputation, but there is still adventure to be had and fortunes to be made. The Engineering Faculty is on the rise, the war in the colonies is winding down, the trains have been disrupted, Fumare's criminal underworld is upset and the fashion community is a-bubble with scandal. Also, one of the ubiquitous Merryweathers is having a wedding!
Come along and join in the excitement!
This event is a full 48-hour weekend, from Friday night to Sunday afternoon.
The event is now open for bookings. There are 50 player spots available.
The organising team is also taking expressions of interest for crew and non-player characters - you'll get a significant discount to the weekend's cost, we'll arrange the majority of costuming and props you need, you'll get bonus Experience Points and you'll have our eternal gratitude for helping make Zeppelin awesome.
