Welcome

Welcome to Wyld West, a Weird West Live Action Role-Play event, where the frontier beckons, and the possibilities are endless. Set in the rugged world of Saxum, in the camp called Hope, located in The Caldera, our game is inspired by the rawness of the 19th-century Wild West and Victorian Britain. It offers you the chance to create your own story amidst the drama, mystery, and danger of a camp on the edge of civilisation.
Here, you’ll find thrilling shootouts, complex characters, high-stakes politics, and untold secrets waiting to be uncovered. Whether you're seeking fortune, redemption, or adventure, your choices will shape the world around you. Grab your six-shooter—your journey begins now.

What is LARP?

Live Action Roleplay (LARP) is an immersive, interactive form of storytelling where participants step into the roles of characters they’ve created, acting out their stories in real-time within a shared fictional world. Unlike traditional board games or video games, LARP allows players to physically act out their character’s actions, speak in-character, and interact with others in a dynamic environment.

In LARP, you are not just imagining your character—you become them. You’ll wear costumes, carry props, and engage in various activities that bring your character’s story to life. Whether it's a dramatic showdown in the street, a quiet moment of reflection by the campfire, or a tense negotiation in the saloon, your choices and actions directly shape the unfolding events.

At Wyld West, you will experience the world of Saxum, where the frontier is full of danger, mystery, and opportunity. As a player, you’ll work together with others to tell epic stories of adventure, rivalry, love, and loss, while exploring the themes of politics, power, and survival. Your character’s journey is yours to craft, from starting as a struggling settler to becoming a hero, villain, or anything in between.

LARP is about collaboration, creativity, and respect. Everyone involved is a storyteller, and every action has the potential to create memorable moments, challenges, and triumphs. It’s a chance to step outside your everyday life, immerse yourself in a new persona, and experience the thrill of living in a world entirely of your own creation.
