Welcome to Shunned House LRP

The city of Lancaster has had a vibrant LRP (Live Role-Playing) scene for decades.

Horror LRP has been running from the city in various guises and created by various teams of storytellers and artists. In 2014, drawing on that wealth of contact and experience, we at decided to throw our hat into the ring. 

Our first project, “Lords & Ladies” ran in the summer of 2015 and we are keen to produce more LRP experiences.

You can follow the news and progress of each of our projects here by exploring our event pages, which include information about the game, how to secure a player slot, how to make payments and more.

If there is anything you can’t find here, visit our contact page and send us an email. 

We love running character-focused LRP

What is LRP?

LRP (or LARP) stands for Live (Action) Roleplay. Roleplaying is a co-operation between all the participants to tell an interesting, unique and fulfilling story. Like any roleplaying game, the participants (or “players”)  in LRP take on the role of characters in a fictional setting. Some games take you into their world through a computer, some through your imagination with a sheet of paper and a few dice to help you out, but Live games, as the name suggests, take part in the real world in real time. The players physically embody their parts, donning their clothes, eating their food and living their lives for as long as the game lasts. 

LRP events come in all shapes and sizes, from thousand-strong festivals where factions of fantastical heroes camp and do battle en-masse, to intimate linear-style quests for a small band of adventurers. Similarly, the settings for LRP events can vary as wildly as the stories being told, from fields and forests to castles and country homes.

Our events are focused on creating a highly immersive experience for small groups of players.
