Five weeks to go!

   Posted by: Rand

It’s hard to believe we are almost at the first event. Keep submitting those characters and reserve your cabins. Right now the Animal Bailey is gone, Odelab’s Pub, the Cooks Cabin, as well as the Lodge and two cabins in Graveside.

I am working with our merchant account now and if everything goes smoothly we should be taking credit cards online in the next 10 days. We will also be accepting Paypal, but it will be like 2 or 3 bucks more because Paypal charges so dang much. We will see what the final breakout is because we want to stay as cheap as possible.
In the meantime, you can always send a check made out to The Coral Gate, LLC to
The Coral Gate, LLC
P.O. Box 159
Gray, GA 31032

Keep reading the forums and the Chronicles. We are continually posting stories that have good information about what has been, and is, going on in the town.

Feel free to contact us by email, PM, or the forums.
That’s it until Tom’s update next week!

The Coral Gate is Live!

   Posted by: Tom

Time flies when you are having fun!

It’s been a fast two weeks for sure, but here Georgia’s newest LARP (live action role play) is finally here on the 24th. Today you will see posted on the Game Info tab some important information. The event dates that are upcoming, the rule book, and assorted other information and forms.

First event – May 7th – 9th at Hard Labor Creek State Park – Camp Rutledge!
Plan for it!

(Pre-registration will be available soon.)
The entire 2010 LARP schedule is posted in the Event Schedule section along with some driving directions.

Forums – The official CG forums are up and running. Please register, and post away. If you have difficulty registering for the forums send an email to forums at thecoralgate.com and we will take care of you.

Actor’s Handbook – download the handbook from the Game Info tab. Please post questions on the Rules forum.

Character Creation – check the forums to create a character in advance, get prior approval for restricted races and classes, and generally be ahead of the game. Oh yeah, by creating a character online, that opens up posting in the Silent Siren Tavern for role-playing before the first event. Get to know the other players, role-play, chat, and have some fun. Character submissions can be sent to characters at thecoralgate.com

Chronicles – be sure to read up on the Chronicles of Coral Gate. There is very valuable in play information there that will (hopefully) give a real feel for the game. There are also a couple of maps, including one of the actual Camp Rutledge, but modeled to replicate the Shanty town where our game weekends take place. It’s very cool! (Ok, at least we think it is.)

We are currently investigating venues for a pre-first event Meet and Greet – We want to eat some food, hang out, create characters, and maybe, just maybe run a pre-event module for the people who attend.

We want to say thank you to a lot of people, because we have received a ton of great support to get this project going. Thanks to our play testers, idea people and that large group of silent types who just keep saying “heck yeah! I can’t wait to play.”

The Coral Gate is a live action game for people who want to role-play. Who want to enjoy meaningful combat. Who want to build their characters. Who like to learn things in the game, see mysteries unfold, who want to shape the world, and who honestly realize that knowing everything is not fun! We have built a world that is deep, rich in lore, has tons of surprises and feels like a living, breathing entity! (Once again, go read the Chronicles section!)

Come and start the journey with us on May 7th, it’s going to be something to remember.
