Afterglow larp

Next Episode: TBD, 2026

Welcome to Afterglow LARP – Alberta’s Sci-Fi Live Action Role playing Experience.

Afterglow is an immersive science fiction LARP based in Edmonton, Alberta, where players step into a world shaped by alien technology, ruthless corporations, and the fractured remnants of a future gone wrong. Set in a gritty universe on the brink of collapse, Afterglow blends high-stakes role play, tactical conflict, and community-driven storytelling. Whether you're a seasoned LARPer or brand new to the scene, you'll find a unique mix of narrative depth, physical action, and meaningful choice.

Suit up. Survive. Shape what’s next.
Because, All ain't stardust yet.

I have a couple of quick updates for you tonight.

Firstly some of you may have heard already but we currently have a small ARG running, no-one has made it to the end just yet but if you dig deep enough we have some fun rewards tucked away, if you are interested in checking it out, the thread starts here.

Secondly the long awaited return of a certain in-game reporter has arrived in the form of a new in-game blog which can be found right here, be sure to check back occasionally for more entries.

Thanks, and have a great night
