Welcome to SHAG!
SHAGLARP stands for "Sifton House Associated Gamers Live Action Role Playing". It was created by 5 friends in response to the growing need for a diverse LARP portal in the Portland Metro Area. Our hope is to provide a community for LARPers to meet, discuss, find resources, as well as network and find games (you may read anything on the site without signing up). We support many forms of LARP, from troupe games, to Amtgard, to CAM. We offer many amenities for LARPers:
Forum: You will need to register to post, but you can read anything on the forum as a guest. (We only require registration to post in order to manage SPAM.)
Calendar: A place to find LARP related events; from games, to one-shots, to conventions, to events where one might get costuming or props, all in the Portland, Vancouver, Salem circle. (Check out SHAG's first One Shot posted in December!)
News: Right now the news is just for events and site updates, but we hope to have news eventually about the LARP community in the NW.
Database: A database full of articles from running LARP, role-playing, costuming, props, playing LARP, as well as other resources.
Links: Links to LARP related sites, as well as LARP games in the area (as we find them...)
Photos: Pictures from conventions, games and one shots. (Because the gallery is hosted by Coppermine, you will have to register again in the photo section if you want to upload any photos of your own.)
And we are always looking for more. We encourage everyone to submit their ideas and opinions in the forums. You can also submit events to the calendar, and news and database articles by submitting news. Feedback is ALWAYS appreciated. And don't forget to recommend us to a friend if you like what you see here!
Thank you, from everyone on the SHAG team. |

Events: BOFFER DAY!!! (Saturday, August 14th)
Come and help
repair (and maybe construct) some boffers. And then... we fight! If you already have some experience, come and play with boffers a lot. If you've never done it,
come and see if you like it.
We will be supplying boffers and materials for repair/construction (our boffers are all home made; we don't have any of the cool, fancy latex ones... yet). This is not a game event, but rather a chance to get some hands-on time with a boffer or two before your next boffer event (or just come have fun fighting with boffers). There may be some scheduled events and types of battle/duels/etc. For those who have never tried, there will be instruction and kind, gentle and patient teachers. Our boffer games lean toward softer boffer action, so there will be no whalloping of each other or actually trying to pummel your opponent into submission.
More details, time and place to follow. Keep checking the Events calendar and in the SHAGLARP Monthly Events forum.

LARP Camping Trip!
Ikelos writes "Hello everyone,
I'd like to encourage everyone to mosey on over to the One-Shots section of the forum, and take a gander at the post on a LARP camping trip this summer. The thread's been mostly ignored since October, and though it's still pretty early in the spring, I think that getting our ducks in a row now will make the whole process of organizing this much, much smoother. (Yes, smoother is a word-albeit an awkward one.)
So, help a girl out! Please post your (reasonable) suggestions. Look for LARP Camping Trip under the One-Shot Wonders section.
Thanks,
-Mo"

Chronicle Game in Portland!
Wyqued writes "Beautiful Madness is a chronicle game coming to Portland. For those who do not know, there are two types of LARP sessions:
A One-Shot is a one session stand-alone game, usually with pre-generated characters, though sometimes you can create your own, that is only played once.
A Chronicle is a long running game with multiple sessions, usually with a character you create and play multiple times.
A Game of Beautiful Madness
The protagonists of this modern fairy tale are the changelings, or as they often call themselves, the Lost. Stolen away from their human lives as children or adults, they spent what seemed like years or even centuries in Faerie, chattel to beautiful but inhuman lords and ladies. Fed on faerie food and drink, they gradually became more fae themselves, their bodies shifting slightly to reflect their roles. Some, however, managed to escape. Holding on to their memories of home, they found their way through the winding thorns of the Hedge, the barrier between the mortal world and time-twisted Faerie.

White Wolf Releases the title of their new Genre!
Well, it's been known for a while that White Wolf would be doing a series called Geist, which was assumed to be similar to the Wraith series. Just recently, they released the idea for the series: Geist: the Sin-Eaters.
"A rulebook for playing the Sin-Eaters, mortals who have passed through the gates of Death and returned, bonded with the unusual shades known as geists. An expanded look at death and the Underworld in the World of Darkness, from simple ghosts to strange threats such as the Kerberoi. Provides new player types and antagonists for crossover chronicles as well as chronicles focusing on Sin-Eaters."
The release date for Geist: the Sin-Eaters will be August 2009. Not much is known about it, but White Wolf, when replacing their message boards, has created a forum just for the series.
