Welcome to Kyranthia!
Kyranthia is a magical world of legendary heroes, ruthless villains, powerful artifacts, mysterious spirits, stalwart nobility, and a host of mischief-makers and ne’er-do-wells to contend with. We try our damnedest to immerse you in our world, whether you’re running in fear, facing your enemies, feasting with your fellow townsfolk, crafting at guilds, or poring over musty tomes in the library.
Nil’Gadol, the Shadow Lord, once thought vanquished, has returned. He sends forth his evil Shadow Binders to unleash Chaos and strife upon our lands. The Provinces of Kyranthia, once joined in might against the Shadow Lord, have fallen to bickering and civil war. The newly crowned King, ascending to the throne after the mysterious assassination of the previous King, has grown increasingly tyrannical. Dark times are upon us.
The ultimate question now looms: Will you stand up as a hero, aiding the forces of Light and waging war against the Shadow Lord? Or will you join the ranks of the nefarious minions of Chaos and shadow?
As a player, you are now part of a growing town built from the ruins of Valdarin’s Gate, where you’ll battle undead and goblins and beastmen a-plenty, and deal with ancient spirits rising to reclaim a world that was once their home. As ancient evil begins to stir, so too do long-forgotten heroes, so there is always hope…

Policy FAQ
Can I Play Kyranthia?
Anyone under 16 must be accompanied by a legal adult. Anyone under 18 must have their parent or legal guardian sign the participatory agreement waiver. Anyone under 14 must have special permission by the game staff and must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
You must be familiar with the Kyranthia Core Rulebook so you will have some idea how to respond to the various game effects we use. Players who arrive without any knowledge of the rulebook will be taken aside until they have some familiarity of the rules, so you should read through this material before you arrive.
How Do I Register For Events?
You should tell us you are attending an event and pay for that event in advance. Until you pay or contact us to make special arrangements, we can reserve a space, but only so long as the event doesn’t sell out. If the event fills up then those players who have paid for the event are given space over those players who have registered but have not paid.
Why Should I Preregister For Events?
We urge you to preregister for events as far in advance as possible. We really enjoy running targeted plot, but we can’t target you or your group if we don’t know if you’re going to be at the event. You should preregister at least a few weeks or a month in advance, when we’re actually writing the plot.
How Do I Check In?
When you arrive at the campsite, you should proceed to the check-in area that will be marked with signs. If this is your first event, you will be asked to sign waivers for safety and emergency contacts. If you are preregistered, you will receive a character card and any yellow-tagged items you turned in at the end of a previous event.
You must park in the designated parking area. If you arrive before the start of game and have a lot of gear to move, you are more than welcome to pull up into the site, but you should move your car to the lot by 8pm. Do not drive anywhere but the dirt roads on the site. Drive slowly.
What If I Show Up After Game Starts?
Game starts at 9:30pm on Fridays of Weekend Events. Once game starts, it is the staff’s goal to prevent the game flow from being interrupted for any reason. We strongly suggest that you arrive before game starts. If this is impossible, we ask that you come to the game in costume so you don’t disrupt the flow of the game. It is our goal to move you into the ongoing game as smoothly as possible. You will be asked to move into your cabin In Game.
Players who arrive late enter game in costume and proceed to Monster Camp. There they await a staff person to appear and check them in. This way you are never interrupting the flow of the game for other players as you arrive. You should make every attempt to enter and leave the game area as your character during gameplay.
How Do I Check Out?
At the end of the event there is a check out area, usually in the same place where check in took place. You may turn in your character card and register for future events at that time. All yellow-marked items must be turned in at check out.
What Happens During a First Event?
At the beginning of your first event you are encouraged to attend the new player orientation. Players who attend this orientation will likely have an easier time playing their first event. We also run a special plot to bring new players into the game world.
How Do I Get More XP?
Players earn Experience Points (XP) by playing the game and helping out in various ways:
Each Adventure Weekend you attend as a player, NPC, or staff earns you 50 XP.
If you submit a Post Event Letter after an event, you gain 25 XP.
Staying after an event to help clean up will gain you 25 XP (a staff member will give you a task).
There may be more ways to earn additional XP during an event, such as helping out in the kitchen, taking an NPC shift, cleaning up, or other tasks. Communicate with a staff member for more information.
Donations can also gain you extra XP.
