    It's the right season for LARPing in the fresh air once again, so it's time to drop a quick progress mail to ye all regarding Midway - the LARP that combines airsoft guns, rubber swords and political intrigue into one delicious lump.

    We've been going since September 2009 now, running usually monthly on Friday nights. We take on board new players quite frequently, and most everyone finds us a friendly bunch. While we have roundabout 85 players "on the books" our usual Friday night turnout is 25-35. We've run games at the HRTA airsoft site in Swords, and when that closed recently we moved to Red Barn, also in Swords.

    It's a great time to climb aboard - we've just published our dates for the next six months and there are two "residential" weekends planned in July and September. There's no need to have played previously in order to attend these, so if Friday nights don't suit you, come along for the weekend.

    To give you an idea of what we do we've recently updated our website with some new photos from older events as well as a detailed recap of what's happened so far in the game.

    What Is Midway?

    Midway is an ongoing LARP set in a post-apocalyptic world. It is unlike other LARPs you might have played in that it uses both rubber swords (like the LT or other UK LRP games) and airsoft (like you might have used for weekend "skirmish" games) for combat resolution - combat isn't all we do, but there's a certain element of it inherent in the game. Some of our players hide behind a wall rather than get into combat. Others play full-time soldiers.

    Where can I find out more?
