MYSTWOOD: THE CHRONICLES OF NOVGOROND
A WINTER LARP
|
The newest Mystwood Chapter, Mystwood: Novgorond is an expansion of the Mystwood world and will be played at the Burgundar LARP Site. Novgorond historically, was an influential Russian city state that often competed for power with Kiev. In the Mystwood world, some of its history has been included, and some has been embellished and changed. The players of Novgorond will be camped out a short distance away from The Wall that separates the civilized world from Thule and the Chaos Wastes. Defenders come from all over Europa to place their name on the “Roll of Defenders” and protect the Wall.
he Chronicles of Novgorond is run jointly by veteran Mystwood players Ty Guerin and Zach Plugge. |
Coordinated Motel Accommodations
Winter can be very cold, so sleeping at the game site will not be a good option for most. To help make Mystwood Novgorond more accessible the game staff will be offering coordinated motel accommodations. We've selected the Pleasant Mountain Inn as our motel of choice because it is within 15 minutes of the Burgundar Game Site, their room rates are reasonable, there's plenty of parking and there is an attached restaurant/bar with a small arcade.
If a participant would like their accommodations coordinated they must make payment at least 7 days prior to the event they plan to attend. This will allow the Novgorond Staff to determine how many rooms need to be reserved. There are 4 options to consider: staying 2 nights, Friday and Saturday, or one night Friday OR Saturday (be sure to specify in the special instructions which night you want), and would you like a Queen bed or are you comfortable sleeping on the floor? If you're sharing a bed with someone you only need to pay once, the Queen bed option gets you the whole bed.
Check in for the Novgorond Event will be offered Friday Night at the hotel for those interested and those who check in Friday night will be awarded an extra moonstone, otherwise general event check in will start Saturday morning. There will be plenty of board games available for those who want to keep having fun even when the official Novgorond event has ceased.
Naturally participants are free to book their own rooms at Pleasant Mountain Inn or other local venues as they see fit.

Ty Guerin |
,Ty began his LARPing career in the Fall of 2011 with the initial Mystwood Playtest. His character started out as a humble Squire of few words but eventually his actions were recognized and he became the first player Knight of the Realm in the game of Mystwood. Since Ty’s beginnings at LARP, he has become an integral part of the Maine LARP community. Ty is always willing to lend a helping hand and has attended more work days and volunteered more of his time than almost any other.
Being the Co-GM of Mystwood: The Chronicles of Novgorond, Ty is eager to test the limits of “Extreme” Live Action Roleplaying by bringing LARP into the dead of winter. Novgorond will have a much different feel than the original Mystwood Chapter- not only will it be colder, but also more heavily laden with brutal combat, intrigue, commerce and conflict. |
