We are a social LARPing group, called Dominion of Darkness.  We run White Wolf's Old World of Darkness games, Vampire the Masquerade and Werewolf the Apocalypse, using Mind's Eye Theater rules.  We aim to give all of our players a positive experience in the role playing world.  We have a website for our game, at http://dod.ravenfire.net, and it's totally free to play...give it a whirl!

He's back!! Many of you may remember Mr. Benton from the last A2F! He was our resident Steampunk magician, wowing us with his "Delightfully Ridiculous Conjuring"!
Join him at the show to see him perform his amazing tricks, with humor, slight of hand, and as always, an incomparable sense of style!

What anime fan wouldn't love to be married at the con where they met!
 Join with us in giving "Kitty" and "Wolf" a marvelous send off for their new life together!
A2F hopes you guys will love each other unconditionally for the rest of your lives!


here's a little backstory:

• "And haha lil story eh? Well it was last Nov. and I was running around taking pics of everyone and didn't even know who he was just thought his gear looked cool, he was in Umbrella gear so I couldn't even see his face, and after that I didn't really see him again. As I was adding people from A2F on FB I noticed I had some friend requests myself so I accepted them and he was one of them. We began talking at brief periods of time, I had no wifi so I went to the Library to use theirs, and I could really be myself around him. The weekend before March A2F, I was at my dad's talking to Mark online late til my mom came and got me. Before I left I asked him for his cell number and from there we were texting. We made plans to hang out that upcoming weekend and we just clicked as soon as we met in person." -- Kitty--

N.W.A. L.A.R.P. Guild

We are an intense boffer combat group out of Northwest Arkansas. Our rule book has been in development since we started in 2008. We use a Gold Point system for upgrading and developing your characters skills. We do a large variety of games within the event, such as; Conquest, Team Death-match, Last Man Standing, Free for All, 1v1 tournaments, and much, much more. We try to get together once every 2 weeks at a local park. Once a year we hold two night events where we camp out and LARP from dawn to dusk. We hope to see you in our LARP on Friday !

Mimi Montoya

Mimi has been a fan of many things Asian and most especially Japanese for many years, with interests ranging from reading to anime watching, and enjoys sharing her interest in everything from Street Fashion and cooking to learning and practicing basic Haiku forms, to collecting and customizing Ball Jointed Dolls. Not identifying personally with Otaku culture, she believes that respectful admiration and adaptation of a fascinating culture that her handful of Japanese friends have been happy to share with her, and that in turn, sharing and passing on her knowledge and learned skills, is one of the most interesting ways to indulge her passions.

Grant Lamascus

Grant has been interested in steampunk and fantasy engineering since a youth spent working on re-purposing and repairing various machines and buildings. From his past work in virtual environment engineering in Second Life, OpenSim, and Blue Mars, to his current real-world projects with the new Clockwork and High Tea Society Armada, he has always loved looking at temporary buildings and installations in new ways, and merging decorative detail with function.. His current projects include making full scale virtual models of local event locations from satellite and USGS data, and using them to design and plan Armada events and art installations. His love of detail has lead him to make fine jewelery as well as starting work on wooden keepsake boxes of many types. He is also working on applying elements of both classic functional steampunk and adaptive architecture to indoor and outdoor temporary structures, for ease of use and to broaden their appeal to both users and customers. "I believe in the beauty of functionality-making steampunk work."

A2F is pleased to announce our newest guest for A2F9 Bryce Storey! With a passion for cars and a love for anime, Bryce Storey races to the top with his Initial D
inspired Toyota AE86. ' I've been restoring cars for as long as I can remember. Vehicles of
every kind and from every decade, but when I saw Initial D for the first time I knew I had
found the car of my dreams. Four years and several busted knuckles later this car has been
transformed.'  Although it doesn't deliver tofu on time, you may still see it around NWA.
