Midway LARP - All-weekend events!

It's the right season for LARPing in the fresh air once again, so it's time
to drop a quick progress mail to ye all regarding Midway - the LARP that
combines airsoft guns, rubber swords and political intrigue into one
delicious lump.

We've been going since September 2009 now, running usually monthly on
Friday nights. We take on board new players quite frequently, and most
everyone finds us a friendly bunch. While we have roundabout 85 players "on
the books" our usual Friday night turnout is 25-35. We've run games at the
HRTA airsoft site in Swords, and when that closed recently we moved to Red
Barn, also in Swords.

It's a great time to climb aboard - we've just published our dates for the
next six months and there are two "residential" weekends planned in July
and September. There's no need to have played previously in order to attend
these, so if Friday nights don't suit you, come along for the weekend.

To give you an idea of what we do we've recently updated our website with
some new photos from older events as well as a detailed recap of what's
happened so far in the game.

*What Is Midway?*

Midway is an ongoing LARP set in a post-apocalyptic world. It is unlike
other LARPs you might have played in that it uses both rubber swords (like
the LT or other UK LRP games) and airsoft (like you might have used for
weekend "skirmish" games) for combat resolution - combat isn't all we do,
but there's a certain element of it inherent in the game. Some of our
players hide behind a wall rather than get into combat. Others play
full-time soldiers.
