Now that the Alliance has paused and military operations are delayed until after winter, the King's spies are likely to do their worst. High Captain Silvio Cristofori, now operating out of the Port of Sands, quickly assembles the necessary individuals to put a stop to the King Who Waits' interference."

The White City is a Fantasy Live-Action Role-Playing game (aka "fantasy LARP" or "FLiRP") run in Shotover Country Park in Oxford (UK) on Saturday afternoons under the auspices of OURPGSoc (the Oxford University RolePlaying Games Society) and open to all - the first two games are free! It's fairly generic high combat Sword & Sorcery fare in the usual linear LARP mould, but with a slightly non-standard feel to it. We aim to be welcoming to casual players and students on a tight budget, so running around having fun is more important to us than anything else. Hopefully everything you need to know about the game will be answered on one of the pages below.
