The Story Thus Far...

One year ago, the Ventrue Prince Fortinbras was murdered by his trusted friend, the Sheriff of Copenhagen. The Nosferatu Elder Absalon took control of the Keep & the City. The Sheriff, assisted by Lady Demure, the Emissary from the Courts of Love, have created their own court and plan to rule the city. During all of this political chaos, a fire engulfed much of the killing and scattering much of them in the blaze. Rumors of an ancient Cainite artifact in the city still linger.

Now, Copenhagen, Denmark has been rebuilt from the ashes of last year's fire. Mortals disaffected by the Crusades have been flocking to this city of opportunity, looking to start their lives anew. Businesses and homes are cropping up throught the city. Opportunity is riper than ever for ambitious Cainites to make a name for themselve's and establish their place in the city.

BE PART OF THE STORY!

The Maniacal Gamers Association returns to continue the story of High Clans vs. Low Clans which debuted at I-CON XIV last year. The game debuted with an average of 35 players each night of the LARP, and we hope the number grows even more this year!

Keep in mind, as this is a convention, that we of the Maniacal Gamers Association do NOT require you to be there for the whole session each night, or both nights. I-CON has much to offer, and far be it from us to keep you guys from enjoying every part of the convention you want (although we wouldn't argue if you stayed the whole night!). Just let us know when you are walking in and out of the story so the Narrators know what's going on and prepare for anything that is thrown at them regarding the character you play, as well as if you are playing both nights or just one (although if this changes, that's fine too. We're flexible!).

You can find out more about the Maniacal Gamers Association, what they are about, as well as submitting ideas for the characters you would like to play, the parameters for character creation, etc., at their forum, which can be found here: http://maniacalgamers.proboards54.com.
