Vampire: The Masquerade LARP (16+) & Costume Contest
 

On Friday, April 17, at 8:30PM, personally take on the role of a modern-day vampire in this Live Action Role-Play (LARP) event for ages 16+ based on the Vampire: The Masquerade game setting. Feel free to come in vampire cosplay or costume (rated PG-13). No LARP experience necessary. It is up to you to elect the new vampire Prince of Huntsville. The player with the best vampire costume is awarded a $50 gift certificate to Noble Knight Games (enough to buy the game book)!
