Welcome to the homepage of Cambridge University Treasure Trap, a society based in and around the University of Cambridge dedicated to running a Treasure-Trap LARP system. If you're here for the first time, or you're looking for more information about what we do, the Introduction to LARP and Treasure Trap is a good place to start, and contains links to the other introductory guides.
Existing members will probably want to jump straight to the Index .
There will be a squash (introductory meeting) on Friday October 10th at 6.30pm in the University Centre on Mill Lane. There will be people with cloaks around to give directions. Here is a handy map showing the University Centre.
From 6-6.30, we will be running a weapons demonstration by the Mill Pond, ie the piece of grass just over the river from the University Centre. We encourage new people to come and see what LARP combat is like and to have a go.
Interactives in Michaelmas 2008 will take place in Harvey Court JCR on West Road, from 7pm (with time-in running from 7.30-10.30) every Friday evening. If you're new, we recommend arriving in decent time so you can talk to the refs about what you want to play. The first interactive is on Friday October 17th.
Linears (outdoor adventures) will happen on most Saturday afternoons, and will, unless otherwise stated, run along the river on Grantchester Meadows. A walking party will leave from the front of Queens' College at 12.30pm, and we meet at the car park at the meadows at 1.00.
Our fifth anniversary banquet will take place at Little Abington Scout Camp on December 6th- the day after the final interactive of term. The afternoon will be taken up by an adventure, and the evening by the banquet itself- an evening of good food, drink, and a ceilidh.. The banquet is out of character but in costume, so non-larpers are also welcome.
3 Oct 2008: Rules changes from the last AGM have been folded into the website. As usual, pleas see the Rules clarifications page for details.
4 Feb 2007: The archive of this year's Gossips has been added to the setting section. You can also find the published prices for herbs and potions here, so check it out!
1 Oct 2006: Over the 2006 summer, the system has been overhauled, with the majority of the magic and spirit rules being reworked. As such, there will still be a few kinks that need ironing out, so be advised that the rules may be updated from time to time. A Rules clarifications page has been added to the site to catalogue these.
1 Oct 2006: A new academic year means a new refteam and a new website. The website this year is being looked after by David Birch, so feel free to bug him about any errors you find - just send an email to the refs.
As always, email queries downtimes and general musings as to the nature of the multiverse to tt-refs@srcf.ucam.org
