Sunset Claws

Picture
The massive undead armies of Vlad von Carstein have surrounded the city of Altdorf. Vlad has announced that anyone who leaves the city before sunset will not be harmed. In response, the city has locked down, preventing escape. But there are ways. There are always ways. Everyone knows you can find vampires in the Tavern of the Crescent Moon, and surely there are deals that can be made. Meanwhile, a murderer stalks amongst you, blades are being unsheathed, hungry for blood, and fear is on the rise. Will Altdorf live to see another dawn? Will you?

Sunset Claws is a Warhammer Live Action costumed event for up to fifteen players to be held at Gen Con Oz at 7pm on Saturday the 19th of September, 2009. No experience or knowledge of the Warhammer world is necessary. A 13+ warning exists because there are a few adult themes (like killing people). Snacks will be provided!

Characters and Costumes

Picture
Some people in the world, as the picture shows, have gone to great lengths to produce appropriate WFRP costumes. Don't worry: you don't have to go so far, and a little goes a long way. For those who don't know, the Warhammer world is akin to 17th century Renaissance Germany, although anything medieval or even Napoleonic will also fit. Much inspiration can be found here

If you have a character you'd like to play, email Steve right away to see if it is still available. He can then send you more information to help you plan your costume. Some of the genders are flexible, so please ask if you'd like to flip.
