  Played in the Pacific Northwest, Mortal Tears is a live action role-playing game based on the Dark Ages World of Darkness by White Wolf. Using our own simple house rules, Mortal Tears brings live boffer combat and the World of Darkness together into an immersive, visual-oriented, player-vs-player game. Additionally, Vampire, Werewolf, Wraith and Human are not separated, rather allowed and encouraged to interact with one another to create unique and intense role-play experiences.  
When you attend your first Mortal Tears event, you will find it is a game with player-driven stories and character interactions. While many LARP’s operate with Storytellers, or Plot, presiding over the player characters (making the player a mere character of the game plot), Mortal Tears takes a different approach. Here, the players create the story, with Cast Managers supplying the reaction of the world outside of town, responding as it is thought the surrounding people and creatures of the land would. The Cast Managers primary role is simply filling in characters, creatures and social positions that the players cannot play themselves. This leaves stories in the player’s hands and it is up to you to involve yourself.

At Mortal Tears, you get out of the game what you put into it. If you choose to stay in your room, leave site, spend time out of game, or generally remain out of sight, the other players and Cast Managers will tend to leave you out (since they will assume you’re not playing the game for personal reasons). While all the participants try their best to include everyone, it is difficult to do so when the player is not available. However, if you are actively participating in the game (acting as your character, interacting with other players, hanging out in the Tavern, etc), you will find yourself pulled into player-driven stories of all kinds and intensities.

This game is drug and alcohol free, we do reserve the right to refuse service to anyone at anytime, and due to the nature of this game, adult themes and live combat, Mortal Tears is an ages 18 or older game.

The Theme of Mortal Tears
The World of Darkness is a world filled with hideous monsters and monstrous humans. Despite this, the real Darkness comes from within, making Personal Horror the theme of the game. Whether you are a vampire fighting the Beast, or a werewolf fighting the Wyrm, your decisions and actions could save you, or drag you into corruption and evil.
