Origins 2005

Dubbed the 'Arcanis Effect' by Origins staffers, LA once again set the standard, with not one, but TWO blowout events. The Wedding LARP sat almost 180 people, as did the Battle of Enpebyn the next day. Add to that the fact that due to ticket overselling, our premiere mods sat almost half again the number of tables we were scheduled to, and WOW! What an experience! 24 hours of Arcanis! Photos here are by a number of various folks, the webmaster forgot to carry a camera all weekend!

Premiere Mods - Blood of Innocence, and Under the Blood Red Sky

Special Delve - Into the Lavender Way

The Dark Master... Delve co-author Sean Molley overlooks the chaos and destruction with satisfaction...	One Table's Journey On one end we see Arbelos (Peter Parker) and Delila (Kristian Williams) as they begin to understand the depth of dooky they are in (noticed glazed look in eyes).
The Journey Continues GM Mike Brody and Karan val'Borda (Nicole Rubins) as the GM tries to figure out just HOW dead the party really is.	Journey's End? The other side of the table, where Sethos Dragosi (Tim Travis) and Phia (Zac Caslar) contemplate their fate, post butt-whupping.
Thursday Night Fight The room at Mustering Thursday evening. They're smiling because they still don't have a clue what's coming!	Doomed Delvers?
