In addition to the dozens of RPG events, we have a couple LARP events that deserve special mention...

LIVE DUNGEON

The Tomb of the Sun King is a Live Action Role Playing event. In which the player will attempt to work their way Though the puzzles and traps of the Room. It will requirement physical skill and thinking power to Disarm traps and survive. Players will be able to sign up in groups of 5 and have one hour to see how much loot they can gather in the room. Players are encouraged to dress the part of a Fantasy Rogue or tomb raider. They should wear loose flexible clothing, and be ready to crawl.

STEAMPUNK DANCE LARP
Swing Goth is bringing a full evening of entertainment to CelestiCon, from 8 PM to 1 AM, including a dance venue with lessons at the beginning, and a DJ playing a variety of Steampunk music. As part of the entertainment, the LARP is included, and open to anyone who wished to participate. The use of masks as part of roleplay will help to avoid confusion between those who have come to dance or listen to music, versus those who are immersed in the roleplaying experience.

Do you play Warhammer? I just got a staff email talking about how our Doc Dragon 40k & Fantasy tournaments are just packed with players. We are making room for extra players and our other Miniature events are getting booked up too. So if you play minis, this will be a cool weekend for you.

Also, there is a new web series called Magehaven that is having its movie premiere at CelestiCon. I saw the trailer and it looks fun - definitely SyFy quality with a cool D&D storyline. The creators will be there doing a Q&A.
