Aberddu Adventures

This is the system reference website for the Aberddu Adventures LARP based in Aberystwyth. 

This website contains the rules and setting overview required to play Aberddu but is not intended to be a compendium of all historic and current events. It is a constant work in progress and things may be updated or added to at any time.

Aberddu Adventures (commonly referred to as simply Aberddu) is a small scale high fantasy, high combat Live Action Role-Play (LARP) system that runs twice a week during the academic year.

The game takes place primarily in the fantasy trade city of Aberddu, in the world of Urdd. Players create characters who are members of the Aberddu Adventurer's Guild (AAG), a guild dedicated to providing a simple service - mercenaries. The AAG can be hired to do almost anything, from killing rats in a basement to saving the world and everything in between. 

 Sessions run twice a week in two different formats - a Thursday evening session that encompasses a 'guild night' where all player characters can get together in their guildhall and a Saturday afternoon session that encompasses an adventure or 'linear'. The characters playing the linear are decided in the Thursday session and anyone else takes on the role of the monster crew or npcs.
