Auckland LARP Groups
Auckland University Roleplaying Group (AURPG) Website: http://www.geocities.com/nz_america Contacts: Rowena Knill Brief: Auckland University's roleplaying club, previously known as "AMERICA". Runs some live games. 
The Arkham Society Website: http://www.geocities.com/arkham_society/arkham.html Contacts: Raoul Griffiths, ph 09 834-2323 Brief: Gothic and Lovecraft-inspired horror. Organised by Raoul Griffiths, the Arkham Society offers a variety of horror-themed games, from Lovecraft (Call of Cthulhu) influenced games to more classic gothic horror, from modern day settings to medieval times.
Auckland After Dark Contacts: Blair Vampire: the Masquerade campaign, runs 2nd Saturday of each month. This group seems to be the re-incarnation of the Vampire: the Masquerade campaign that died down (no pun intended) a few years ago. They run games on the third Saturday of every month.
Lateral Worlds Contacts: Anna (ph 368-5686). Brief: Mixed-genre fantasy, roleplaying emphasis, weekend-long games. The games are based in a disreputable little town by the name of Dithwae, on the edge of a vast Empire that spans every fantasy genre ever written and almost all places and periods of historic interest. Haven't run a game in a while, but Anna says it will happen.
Mordavia Website: http://www.mordavia.com Contacts: Ryan, or phone 09 918-6132 Brief: Live combat dark fantasy campaign, runs weekend games. Mordavia is a roleplaying game of dark fantasy, set in a medieval kingdom beset by unholy magic and monsters.
Skirmish Website: http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~mikaere/Skirmish.html Contacts: Mike Curtis Brief: Fantasy games that focus on action. Each event consists of a number of skirmish scenarios.
