against
the dying of the
light
You may have survived the zombie apocalypse, but can you survive each other?
Watch the trailer now!
what
A weekend live roleplaying event, in which we collaboratively explore the meaning of community in a post-apocalyptic setting. There are horror elements to the game, however there will not be any organised combat.
There are two different factions:
The Crofters: a close-knit community working to be self-sufficient on an old croft near Dumfries in the southern uplands of Scotland.
The Walkers: a mismatched troupe of paranoid survivors, picking over the corpse of a dying world.
You may have survived the zombie apocalypse, but can you survive each other?
where
​We have exclusive use of Marthrown of Mabie, a wonderful glamping site near Dumfries in Scotland.
​
Accommodation is either in their crofters cottages, luxury yurts,
celtic roundhouse, or camping.
We will discuss and assign accommodation based on player preferences and character.
​
The event is fully catered and bedding is provided.
