C.A.R.P.S. Live Action Wiki

**Welcome to the C.A.R.P.S. Live Action Wiki!**
We are a high-fantasy LARP (Live Action Role-Playing) group that is currently based in Michigan. You may already be familiar with tabletop role-playing games (RPGs) such as Dungeons and Dragons or White Wolf products. If you are, the difference between an RPG and a LARP is that RPGs consist of half a dozen or so players sitting around a kitchen table with dice and a single Game Master, whereas a LARP is a cross between an elaborate theater production, live combat, and a hike in the woods. LARPs such as ours have costuming, boffer/latex weapons, and dozens of players whose actions influence not only what you can accomplish but the course of an entire fantasy world. Welcome to the world of Phantara that has been home to this game over nearly 30 years. Founded at Central Michigan University and grown from there.

We currently hold weekend-long events - Friday night through Saturday night [ends around 2am] from March to December at Camp Wathana in Holly Michigan. Schedule is posted on our Facebook page or the website - http://www.carpsgame.com/. For more information about Carps Game and rules information please visit our Facebook or Website.

**Notice for Players**: Any maps or book entries may NOT be printed, copied or brought into game. To have these items in game you must either purchase copies of it from a merchant that has it available as an option.

If a section does **not** say ***COMPLETED*** on it, then it is not approved for In Game knowledge as it is still being worked on by the Lore team and the current GMs.

Secondly, information provided is for In Game use, but please keep in mind your characters starting location and what would be reasonable for them to know.

This Wiki was created in 2021 by Story GM Marie Dwenger. Maintained by the Lore Team. If there is information not represented that should be please email the lore team ***Carps.lore@gmail.com*** we would be happy to add to this collection of knowledge.
