Joining the Game

Welcome to Volaire LARP, a dark fantasy live-action roleplay setting where magic, memory, and mortality intertwine in a world striving to rebuild after a devastating collapse. This guide will walk you through the steps to become a part of this immersive experience.


📝 Step 1: Register

Begin your journey by registering as a new player:

  • Visit our website and complete the New Player Form.
  • Join our community channels to connect with staff and fellow players.
  • Review and sign the Safety and Conduct Agreement prior to attending your first event.

🧍 Step 2: Create a Character

Character creation is a flexible, point-based system:

  • Choose a Race: Refer to the Full Race Index.
  • Select a Class: Your class defines your role in combat and character concept.
  • Spend XP: New characters start with 500 XP to purchase skills.
  • Develop your Backstory: Integrate your character into the world. Use the World Lore page for inspiration.

For detailed guidance:


⚔️ Step 3: Prepare Your Physreps

After your first two events, you'll need physical representations (physreps) for your gear:

  • Weapons – Foam boffers, checked by staff.
  • Armor – Represented visually (must look like armor).
  • Spellbooks, Labs, and Tools – Represent your character’s profession and powers.
  • Potion Bottles, Crafting Materials, etc. – Tag or label as needed.

For your first two events, you're granted full mechanical access without physreps. After that, physreps become mandatory.


📘 Step 4: Learn the Rules

Familiarize yourself with the game's mechanics:

New player orientation is offered on-site at each game.


🧪 Step 5: Logistics & Check-In

At your first event:

  • Check in at Logistics.
  • Submit your XP envelope and any applicable documentation.
  • Receive your character sheet and tags.
  • Attend new player orientation.
  • Introduce yourself to guild representatives or veteran players in-character.

🧭 Step 6: Step Into the World

Once you're checked in and costumed, you're in the world of Volaire. Everything you do matters:

  • Roleplay your character fully.
  • Explore the town, uncover secrets, and take on tasks.
  • Ask questions in-character, and watch how the world reacts.

You’re not just playing in Volaire—you’re helping shape it.


💬 Questions or Help?

  • Join the Discord for out-of-play questions.
  • Reach out to staff or designated player liaisons.
  • Ask for help on-site—veteran players are often happy to assist.

Welcome to Volaire. Step boldly. Speak true. Make your mark.
