Alliance LARP Colorado’s 2024 Event Schedule

Hold your hats, folks - It’s time for THE BIG ONE! 

Our event schedule for the year is officially live, with pre-registration for our first event in the CMA already open; So get excited, tell your friends, and read on for the logistical structure of Alliance LARP Colorado’s Season Zero. (Lore posts will be coming in the near future, don’t you worry!)

Throughout this opening season, we will be hosting a variety of different event formats as our staff team gets settled in, and stretching their wings; there will be tavern nights (likely with our friends at Thane’s Table), day events at the Bear Creek Greenbelt in Lakewood, and a full weekend event hosted at YMCA Camp Tumbleson Lake near Ward, Colorado. Overall, between now and the end of the season, we plan to deliver a total of five narrative driven official events spanning a total of six logistics periods. We hope you’ll join us for the whole journey!

Before the official season kickoff, we will be hosting an unofficial tavern day on August 3 from 10am-2pm with our good friends Thane’s table, located at 7655 W 88th Ave, Arvada, CO 80005. This will be an in-costume, RP light event (meaning people are free to interact in or out of character as they see fit), with no major story elements - but there may be a few surprise NPC appearances to tease the new setting! Tickets to the event will cost 30 in order to offset the venue rental fee, but that price includes a food gift card for the same amount that you can use to enjoy appetizers, food, deserts, and drinks at the venue! This is the first major get-together our chapter has on the books, so we highly encourage EVERYONE to come out! Whether you are a new or old player, there is a mountain of fun to be had. Tickets can be had at https://www.alliancelarp.co/store (make sure to specify the player name(s) you are paying for!). If you need to make alternate payment arrangements, or are struggling to afford this event, please send an email to customerservice@alliancelarp.co as soon as possible and we will do what we can to help you out.

Our first event - Calamity’s Tidings - will be a day game on Saturday, August 17 at Bear Creek Greenbelt - with preregistration PC tickets costing only $30 and NPCs playing free, we hope you will join us for a full day of roleplay, mods, and loot as the chapter’s first major plot arc begins! The address for the game site is 2800 S Estes St, Lakewood, CO 80227, where we will be renting a large pavilion. You can find more information about the Bear Creek Greenbelt at the following website: https://www.lakewood.org/Government/Departments/Community-Resources/Parks-Forestry-and-Open-Space/A-to-Z-Park-List/Bear-Creek-Greenbelt-Park 

The event will span a single logistics period; Players may arrive on site starting at 9am with opening announcements at 10am and game close at 7pm. We will all be working together to clean up and pack out after lay off, so please plan on sticking around for a little bit longer to help out! Food will NOT be provided for this event; we’ve rented out a pavilion, so there will be a place/time to eat. It’s close to town, so there is food available nearby, or you can bring lunch.

Tickets for the event will cost $35 for PCs and $5 for NPCs, with a $5 discount for signing up before the pre-registration cutoff date of August 10, bringing PC tickets to $30 and NPC tickets to the low price of free! We STRONGLY encourage pre-registration as it will give our hard working logistics team the time they need to prepare items and tags. The hard cutoff for ticket sales is midnight on August 15, so please make sure to register prior to that date, or we will not be able to accommodate you, either as a PC or NPC. Players who fail to purchase a ticket prior to the pre-registration date may not have access to goblin stamp purchases, or requests for item tags. As with our Tavern Day, Tickets are already available on our site at the following link: https://www.alliancelarp.co/store . If you need to make alternate payment arrangements, please send an email to customerservice@alliancelarp.co before you register.

For any general event related questions, send an email to customerservice@alliancelarp.co, and for any logistics needs, send an email to logistics@alliancelarp.co… and as always, we can also be found on our discord server, happy to assist from there! 

As we get closer to ground zero, please note that Chapter transfers ARE open; fill out the following form if you would like to transfer an existing character to the ACO chapter: https://forms.gle/wJLWnx7Xrsd6Yk827 .
