What is Wildlands?
Wildlands is a live-action fantasy roleplaying game. A common explanation you’ll hear is that going to a “LARP” (Live-Action RolePlaying) event is like going to a Renaissance festival, but one where you take a much more active role than just shopping and chowing down on turkey legs! Most Wildlands West events last an entire weekend, from Friday night to Sunday afternoon. While at events, players pretend that they’re in the mythical city of Onyx Hollow that exists in another world. Participants dress in vaguely medieval costumes and make believe that they’re someone else while in Onyx Hollow, someone who grew up in the world of the Wildlands. When players speak to each other during games, they speak “in character,” say the things their character would say and talking about things that exist in the Wildlands world. Game play does not stop during mealtimes or at night. Players eat their meals in character, and even if you can’t play your character while you sleep, the game goes on without
