What exactly is The Coral Gate, you might ask? Well, read on!

The Coral Gate is a Live Action Role Playing Game (LARP) based in Georgia. LARPs have been around for more than 20 years and are enjoyed by many thousands of players across the United States. If you have ever been a table top gamer or enjoyed online MMORPGs, the Coral Gate is for you.

The Coral Gate campaign is based around a city, not surprisingly, called Coral Gate. The actual game takes place in the slums, or “shanty town,” as it’s called outside the city proper. The shanty town is a dirty and rough place, where people survive the best that they can. You wont meet many nobles or fine ladies here, but this is just fine with the residents of the shanty town. Less interference in their dealings, they say!

What you are likely to encounter are other people down on their luck, or merchants’ apprentices who have been sent here from the city to gather assorted raw materials to advance their craft. Occasionally, these merchants even need the help of adventurers like you! In return for your help, they are willing to pay a few coins, or even give one of the products that they can create.

Outside the center of shanty town you are likely to run into bandits, wild animals, or even hostile lizard men who come in from the nearby swamps. All three can be dangerous to novices or even experienced adventurers if they are not prepared. But these creatures often have valuables that can be used or traded to the merchants, so there are always people hunting for them.

Lastly, there is a town guard posted at the shanty town, but they seldom leave the center of town. This makes the center quite safe, at least from creatures. But the town guard does not have eyes everywhere, so even in the center of town the seasoned adventurer doesn’t travel alone, or at the least is careful if they do!

The Coral Gate is a story and role-play driven world, with a healthy helping of combat thrown in. Characters can gain experience and advance in levels by fighting monsters, completing quests, having a good costume, and demonstrating great role-playing!

Come give it a try. You won’t be disappointed!
