Weaponfall is boffer larp with the players being either mortal Wielder of weapons or the Weapon Spirits bound to said weapons. Weaponfall uses boffer combat for physical resolution of combat and physical contact for weapon-wielder dating. There will be a pre-game workshop going over safety tools and physical touch workshop.

The majority of game time will consist of structured one-on-one “dates” and dueling combat as the players try to find compatible weapon-wielder pairs to battle demons. The Weaponfall boffer combat is not skill-based but instead focuses on emotions, narrative, and anime-ness by you and the NPC OOG collaborating together. Think big poses, weapon physicality, heated duels, etc. This game is friendly to new boffer LARPers.

We strongly encourage anyone who wishes to play but has concerns about boffer combat and/or physical accommodations to contact us with questions. Most of the Weapon Spirits can be tailored for physical accessibility on an individual basis and don't focus on physical boffer combat.

All boffer-related material like weapons, spell packets, etc will be provided by the organizers. There will be a one-hour briefing and workshopping period.

For staff sign-ups, familiarity with lightest-touch boffer combat systems is a plus and we are happy teaching new people. There will be a few RP-only NPC roles and combat roles with strong emotive components. Please note that because of the game's speed dating structure, so staffing will have a significant amount of dead time.
