With our first weekend event wrapped up we are looking forward to all the intrigue and excitement of the summer events! "Be All you Can't Be!" If you are interested in joining us please contact us on 
Welcome to Alliance Calgary Live Action Role-Playing
Our Live Action Role-Play group (LARP) is based on a fantasy setting of our own creation using the Alliance Ruleset. Our world is one of "high fantasy" akin to Lord of the Rings and Dungeons and Dragons. Players create medeival fantasy characters to enter our world and face the wonders, trials and conflicts that our PLOT team comes up with. It's time to "BE ALL YOU CAN'T BE"! Whether you decide to become a heavily armoured fighter, a spell casting scholar or even just a local merchant peddeling your wares, there will be something for you to do in Alliance. Every character has a destiny, you decide what to make of yours!
June's Event
Parson's Breach is secured for the moment. Things
are quiet... too quiet perhaps. Demonic Sheep, Orcs, Fey and more encircle the outpost searching for weakness. Will they find any? Only the defenders of the Breach can stop the caravan raids!
More information can be found here.

Our Website.
We are working hard to constantly update this site with the latest infromation that we have access to. We are adding to the site constantly to help players get the information they need to get involved in the LARP!
All the Information you will need
Lots of things from what you need to participate, things you will want to bring for your first weekend event as well as all the background information you need to create a fantastic character (PC). Browse through the site, take a look around! If you have any questions just head to the Contact Us page and we will do our best to reply to you quickly!
So what are the "nuts and bolts"?
Costs:
We charge for events because we have to pay for them ourselves!
Our Weekend Events have a pre-registration fee of $60. This covers our rental of the Lion's Youth Camp in Cremona.
We also offer a meal service for weekend events. It's $25 and includes breakfast on both Saturday and Sunday plus a Saturday evening supper.
Memberships are $40 for the year. This cost covers our insurance and also gives us some money to spend on props, costumes and the bits to run events. You can get a weekend pass for $10 on your first time out. Again this covers you under our insurance.
Events:
We have one In Game event per month. During the "cold months" (Nov- April) we will be hosting evening events (called Faire Days). These can be a simple "tavern" night to an elaborate "masquerade".
From May to October we run our weekend events. Players can come out for some or all of an event. These events are completely in game from 7pm Friday to 2pm Sunday!
You can find our calendar of events here.
Jargon
There are a lot of things you may run into on the site and for our ease of getting the information out here are some common terms that will be spread out throughout the website (and many of the documents)
- PC- Player Character- the persona you take on during events
- NPC- Non-player Character. This is our Monsters and personas that players assume to challenge the players and give them information they require (such as the King is an NPC)
- IG- In Game. When you are at an event you are always considered to be In Game and must play your character appropriately and not break character.
- OOG- Out-of Game. Sometimes you go OOG for things like cooking your food or sleeping. Monsters will be OOG if they have to pass through the IG area on their way to set up a module. You need to show you are OOG by wearing a WHITE headband. You should never be OOG in an IG area.
- Ops- Operations Manager, the owner of the Chapter
- GM- General Manager of Alliance Calgary
- PLOT- the person(s) in charge of writing the story and adventures for all of our events
- GS or Goblin Stamps- These are "rewards" and "thank yous" given to players and NPCs for volunteering, donations etc. They are collected and spent to improve your PC and purchase IG benefits.
- Logistics (LOG)- Logistics is where all the people that actually run the event are located. These people print out character cards, monster cards, item "tags" etc. These are the people at the weekend that run the show.
- Physrep- A physical representation of any IG item. Saying you swing your sword is much different that actually wielding the physrep.
- LCO- Local Chapter Only. These are items/abilities/rewards that will only work in Calgary.
Alliance Rulebook v1.1
As we use the Alliance LARP rulebook there are 2 ways to get your hands on this. All players are expected to have a copy of this book with them for events.
- Purchase a copy of the book from Alliance Calgary. It is soft covered. $22.00 CDN
- Purchase a PDF online from Alliance. It is only $5.99USD. Please note that you need to have a printed copy with you for events. You are not premitted to bring any electronics IG.
