Tolkien LARP in Estonia 2007 August, suerīgie igauņi aicina ciemos! Opcijas

[Adriana]

Tiem, kas vēl nav informēti, karstas ziņas no Igaunijas LARP'eriem:

Hello there!

I remember my promise about this year's event. Are you still interested or do you know whether somebody from Latvia would be interested? The event is August 18-19, near Suure-Jaani - thats the southern part of Estonia. We've got professional make-up artists involved this time. Plus many other perks.

Looking forward for feedback.

Lūdzu interesentus aktīvi pieteikties!

Pardon, ja šī infa forumā jau atrodas; neesmu sekojusi līdzi.
Ja sasparojaties braukt, man kā informācijas nodevējam rezervējiet vietu mašīnā!!

Sīkāka infa:

------------------------

Dear friends!

Here's a brief sales pitch

1) Substantial financial support from EU;

2) Time and place: August 18-19, near Suure-Jaani at the shores of Navesti River;

3) Setting: First Age of Beleriand, Year 375;

4) General activity: human tribes moving to Hithlum to swear allegiance to Elven High-King Fingolfin in a battle against Morgoth;

5) The overall emphasis is on role-play, however we intend to organize something for those as well, who like to do battle;

6) Thematic tents (Viking era) and hopefully some wooden constructs (not determined yet);

7) Professional make-up artists, who will make dwarves and orcs look like from the LoTR movie;

8) Specifically minted Middle-earth coins;

9) Privacy - event is held on private land;

10) Around 100 participants (now, this might seem low, but our event is not some en masse LARP, we intentionally try to keep the number lower);

11) Food is provided for, but you have to be a man, woman, elf, dwarf or orc enough to cook it for yourself - no a la carte dining in Middle-earth!;

12) Participation fee is 150EEK, however in the case of our southern neighbors we can negotiate how and to what extent we shall arrange this;

13) If you get a group together coming in, then I will send a registration form to the group's POC (point of contact). I would prefer to know the number of Latvian participants and receive filled registration forms at least 2 weeks prior to the event, hence August 4.

Sincerely,

Mart Brauer
Event Manager

ja pielauzisu axelu tad mos aizlaidisu vins ka neka mans personigais soferis

[bengalaas]

Cik ir 150 EEK mūsu naudā, kas vēl domā braukt, vai man tiešām jāizlasa Silmarillions, lai iebrauktu, par ko ir runa, un kā interesanti viņi pamanīju\sies dabūt ES finansējumu??

Cerams, ka Dī būs paspējusi pirms tevis

Cik ir 150 EEK mūsu naudā, kas vēl domā braukt, vai man tiešām jāizlasa Silmarillions, lai iebrauktu, par ko ir runa, un kā interesanti viņi pamanīju\sies dabūt ES finansējumu??

100EEK sen sen bija 4.50-5.00 LVL tā ka nav nekāds baigais kāposts.

Par tiem EU fondiem viņi tikai apsveicami. Starp citu arī Slovākijā LARP'eri biznesa plānus sacepuši un no EU naudu sagrābušies. Tā vien šķiet, ka tikai LV nekas grandiozs nenotiek. /Vai arī plašāka sabiedrība netiek informēta?!/

man pašai vislielāko sajūsmu izraisīja šī rindiņa:

10) Around 100 participants (now, this might seem low, but our event is not some en masse LARP, we intentionally try to keep the number lower);

1) Substantial financial support from EU;

Nesapratu!? Ko pie velna domā EU??? Viņiem vajag finansēt nopietnus sektorus, piemēram, medicīnu, rūpniecību, BET NE JAU KAUT KĀDAS ROLEPLAY SPĒLES NELIELAI CILVĒKU GRUPIŅAI. Common, COMMON! WTF!?

[Roviela]

Nesapratu!? Ko pie velna domā EU??? Viņiem vajag finansēt nopietnus sektorus, piemēram, medicīnu, rūpniecību, BET NE JAU KAUT KĀDAS ROLEPLAY SPĒLES NELIELAI CILVĒKU GRUPIŅAI. Common, COMMON! WTF!?

Ko bļauj kā vecs pensionārs? Kāpēc skaiti naudu cita makā? Kam grib, tam dod naudu, pareizāk - tam, kas ir pietiekami gudrs, lai uzceptu sajēdzīgu biznesa plānu un prastos to iesniegt pareizajam fondam. EU fondu nauda katru gadu paliek pāri, jums zināšanai, un tikai tāpēc, ka ir viena, otra nozare, kurā ļaudis nevīžo uzrakstīt normālu naudas pieprasījumu un laicīgi to iesniegt. Kultūrai naudu var dabūt, kultūra tiek atbalstīta, un LARP izklausās interesantāks laika pavadīšanas veids, nekā kārtējais tādas-pašas-grupas koncerts.
Medicīnu, rūpniecību atbalsta no citiem fondiem, tā kā... neviens otra naudu te neapēd.

Ja nepatīk, ko domā un dara EU, tad mūsdienās ir visas iespējas iesniegt savu CV un tikt strādāt kādā no EU iestādēm, lai kaut ko tur izmainītu. Kur problēma? Vaimanāt ir vieglāk?

Būs vismaz iemesls Sillmareonu izlasīt līdz galam.

[AxelBladd]

Būtu labi, ja visi kam ir vēlme braukt dotu man ziņu, par to, lai ir skaidrs ar cik cilvēkiem jārēķinās

[Northwatch]

Jā, man ir zināma naiva cerība, ka būs vēlviena mašīna, tātad, pagaidām var izvietoties pa divām.

[Andza]

Tā kā lord_piš šodien mēģināja mani koļīt uz šo pasākumu, uz kuru gan pagaidām (iepriekšējās reizes iespaidā) raugos gaužām skeptiski, derētu uzzināt vēl šādu tādu infu: par ekipējumu, par kaut kādu sižetisko premisu (nedaudz vairāk kā bunch of people going to swear allegiance to whatever dude), vai latviešu grupiņa tiks piekomandēta kaut kam vai arī pārstāvēs kaut kādu neatkarīgu grupu. Nu kaut kāda tāda infa derētu.

Mjā, pirmā ēra ir tāds nosacīti jūzer friendly periods. No otras puses visloģiskākais jo ir ar to var visbrīvāk manipulēt + cīnīties pret Morgotu noteikti ir foršāk nekā pret Sauronu.

[DarkJedi]

Hmm, maby man ar sāk rasties vēlme. Tikai es ņefig nerubīju nedz par pirmo, otru vai desmito ēru. Es zinu tikai Legolasu, Sauronu un kaujas saucienu For death and glory, lol.

Tāpat cik hārdkori man jādomā par tērpiem. Vai tur vajag pēc kaut kāda Tolkientēva 136 paragrāfā aprakstītā papēždūrienā šūtu apmetni ar iekšmalpiegriežņu apšuvumu, jeb derēs kaut kas, kas nav Nike un izskatās apmēram (nosacīti) viduslaicīgs?

Taks, saņēmu atbildi uz dažiem jautājumiem, mājaslapu, iespējamajām lomām, noteikumiem u.c. no spēles rīkotājiem


Hi there!

Great to see some interest from our southern friends! I will try to answer the questions:

1. http://keskmaa.ee/larp

It is in Estonian, however. We do have plans to translate the most important info into English, hope we can pull it off before this year's event. Under "Kaardid" you can see the place for the event on two maps.

2. Seeing that there is interest, I will undertake the epic quest to translate:

a) General info;
Registration form;
c) Synopsis i.e. Story;
d) Rules with Skill & Magic System.

The last is pretty long, I will try to write a cohesive shorter version.

3) Seeing that there is interest, I will talk to our Script Writer. There was the idea about you guys playing a separate nation i.e. that would eliminate the language problems. There are several options, but that's the most possible one. Will get back to you on this one. I am also open to requests and suggestions.

I think I am able to send you the a), and c) already this week. With Rules and stuff you have to wait until next week I am afraid as we are still tweaking it a bit.

Regards,

Mart


Tā kā jāgaida angliskā versija.

[Dinaer]

pagājušā pieredze, gan nav pārāk spīdoša, bet par šo noteikti var padomāt - attiecīgi, gad būs sniegta vairāk informācija

un ja kādam, kas jau ir izlasījis silmarionu nav slinkums, varbūt var īsi atstās'tit, par ko tieši ir runa, spēles noteiktajos Tolkina pasaules laikos.

[Dvēselīte]

I do.

[bondaronkuls]

po es nesmu lasijis vinu nezinu kas tur ir un nelasisu jo esmu parak slinks kroc lotr respektivi rases ir zinamas un kautkada nojausma par pasauli ari ir

[AxelBladd]

Taks saņēmu vēl nedaudz infas par spēli

I hereby include an English language file with the following:

1. General info;
2. Story of the game;
3. Chronicle of last year's game;
4. Costume requirements (you are concerned with Men);
5. Registration form.

Rules and Skill & Magic System will follow, not soon, but not in very distant future Please feel free to post/copy the file on the forums or via e-mail.

An important note! I think we will do as follows:

You will play a distinct human nation. We shall send you the background info of that nation, with short description of the characters, plus maybe some broader goals and (this is the important part!) you will choose which particular character to play among yourselves. We don't know you, but you know yourselves - so by giving this freedom to you, I hope you will enjoy yourselves and the general quality of the game will be boosted as well.
As to whether you will be "under" somebody or not - remains to be seen. You have always the option to swore alliance to another nation, but this is an in-game matter, which deserves no more attention at this point. In any case, you will get an exclusive Game Master to help you with any matters necessary during the event. It might even be me or more likely, one of my team.

Kind regards,

Mart

General information

“Tales of Beleriand” is a LARP-series set in Middle-Earth created by J.R.R. Tolkien, more precisely the north-western part of Middle-Earth, known as Beleriand during the First Age. Our goal is to create a setting which feels entirely like Middle-Earth, where you can meet powerful Elven Lords, proud Dwarves, fiery Men and cunning servants of Evil.

“Tales of Beleriand: Call of the Spirits”, the second event of the LARP-series takes place on August 18-19, 2007 on the banks of Navesti River near Kootsi village in Suure-Jaani county, southern part of Estonia.

“Call of the Spirits” partly follows the events of the previous LARP “Lengthening Shadows”, but naturally, this story has it’s own stories, legends and heroes.
Cost of the event is 150 EEK and you will receive instruction for payment after registration.

“Tales of Beleriand: Call of the Spirits”

Year of Arien 375

Morgoth, Black Enemy of Arda is besieged in Thangorodrim by the Noldor, who have come over the Sea, but he works his will all over Middle-Earth. There, far in the east, where Men woke not a very long time ago. Here, in Beleriand, where the Three Halls of Men have undertaken a journey to Hithlum, to visit the High King of the Noldor, Fingolfin himself to speak of an alliance between Elves and Men.
The sight of the Dark Lord stretches far and few things remain concealed from him. His minions walk under the shining sun and fear none more than the Master they serve. Orcs breed under the ash mountains of Thangorodrim, dark shadows are on the move, a werewolf’s howl can be heard in the night. It is spoken that the general of Angband’s armies, mightiest of the fallen Maiar, prepares to strike the place where it is least expected. Elves stand guard day and night in their fortresses, Men gather around their lords for a long journey and even the Dwarves in their halls of stone hear merchant’s stories of what is happening in Beleriand.
Men have traveled a long time. Children and elderly, entire households, everything is taken with them. They have few animals, most of their things are either carried on back or pulled along on carts. The son of the Lord of Marach has gone first along with a companion or two, hurrying to tell Fingolfin of his decision. After them come the Haladins as a tribe well-experienced in traveling, and behind them the people of Beor and the larger party of the people of Marach, carrying everything they have acquired during the last hundred years.
The Elven Kings and Princes believe in peace. They believe in the clear eyes of their people, the shining swords, bravery and strength. They even fight amongst themselves, as they do not fear a strike from others. However, the proud sons of Feanor should not forget, that Thingol, King of Doriath, also bears the Light of Valinor in his eyes and they say his sight sees much.
The Men have chosen the shortest road for their journey and though Thingol refused to let any of them through his land, they pass Doriath as close as possible. They have chosen this road to reach their destination as quickly as possible. They do not know that there is evil in Middle-Earth that is not ruled by the Dark Lord. Evil, that was created with the world. It is so subtle that even the sharp eyes of the Elves do not see it, before it is too late. The air we breathe, is not clean of evil even here, far away from the smoking and burning hell of Thangorodrim.
There is silence, but the call of spirits can be heard in the shivering leaves…

Chronicles of the “Tales of Beleriand:

Lengthening Shadows”

A day is like the flare of a flame in the wind, always different and never the same, but still only a blink in the times of Arda.

All this happened in a day…

Haleth, the chief of Haladins arrived at the village of the people of Beor and with them was an ugly creature - an orc. This orc was interrogated, threatened, beaten and in the end, killed. Killed by an Elf. This Elf was Amrod, the Son of Feanor, a prince with his followers. The same Elven Prince saved Boron, who had fallen victim to a strange disease, which struck many of the mortals and immortals during this day. Boron, a chief of the people of Beor, had been very doubtful of the Elf-Man alliance, but Amrod’s help convinced him finally. This also comforted the Elf Corupeth who spent most of his time with Boron’s people, watching and helping only during critical moments. One of those critical moments was the purifying of a mound corrupted by Evil, which was done by almost all of the Elves present, and where a few brave Men and an even more brave Dwarf stood guard.
Adarna, the wisewoman of the Haladins, had her day filled with action. Sometimes the higher power directed her, but most of the time she had to make her way through the trees by herself. The trees talked! One of them had even been troubled by an evil spirit. All kinds of people were accused of poisoning the tree, but in the end the reason remained unclear. The poison was discovered by Mardil, the young healer of the Marachians, who was later revealed to have a Black Mark on his hand. After which he was interrogated, threatened, almost killed, tied up – he got free and ran – was caught, judged, decided to be partly innocent.
The Marachians are led by Marach, who is old beyond recognition, but very wise. A whole long day he was busy, listening to his sons (one wanted to take the people to Elven lands, having sworn fealty to Fingolfin, while the other hated elves), solving problems, leading the Elder Council and protecting his advisor Anwamane from attacks and suspicions, hearing oaths and constantly losing his stick, with which he was fond of beating on his minions.
Anwamane had a busy day as well, finding new sticks for Marach, listening to accusations, defending herself in some cases, making fools of the accusers in other cases, but in the end the Marachians decided to go to Hithlum as well. Just like the Haladins.
What else is there to do, when suspicious orcs, fallen Maiar, cursed mounds, Feanor’s sons, forest elders and other creatures are on the move?
What kind of a day is going to be tomorrow?
Only Eru knows…

Costume requirements

Men
The clothing of Men is like Viking-time clothing: for men a shirt and pants of linen, with a woolen coat or tabard, for women a linen dress along with a cloak. The materials have to look natural and medieval. Silk, brocade, velvet and furs can also be used for chieftains, their wives and other rich people (who have opportunities to buy these materials from the Elves). Since these materials are expensive in real life, alternatives may also be used, but the cloth must not look too modern.
Elves
Inspiration for Elven clothing may be taken from the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, the organizers may also be contacted for additional help. It should be clearly distinct from humans, very important is that different Elves wear different colors: Noldor – gold, Teleri – blue, Nandor – green and brown, Sindar – silver. Male Elves can also wear leather pants, if the design is simple and they are of a hunter-type Elf.
Dwarves
The guidelines are as with the Men, but more expensive materials and patterns may be used, as the Dwarves are one of the richest peoples in Middle-Earth.
Other details
The costume may be machine-sewn, but important is to avoid any modern details, like zippers, plastic details, etc. Some modern clothing may also fit the requirements, but one should be careful, since other players tend to notice the discrepancies.
Shoes
Players must wear historical leather boots or moccasins. However, if all else fails, then modern leather boots – black or brown – are allowed as well (for example military-type boots are fine), but they should fit the color scheme of the costume and should not have any visible modern details (Gothic boots with fancy chromed hole rings and all the bells and whistles are not OK). Sneakers and shoes are too modern and hence not allowed.
In conclusion:
In case of a non-existent costume, the organizers reserve the right not to allow the individual in question to participate in the event. Respect organizers, respect your co-players and respect yourself as a character from Middle-earth.
