Barbarian Brawl a Huge Success

Giving a shout out to Ronan who B.S. 'ed his way through the Barbarian Brawl last weekend at the Wisconsin Live Action Role Players LARP in Maywood Realm. We had a great time and lots of laughs. Swordplay was managed via 2 sword of about equal length.

I (Artenen) learned that you cannot try and compete, record brackets, video and announce at the same time. I screwed up some records so the end of the defeated bracket wasn't a true representation of who was left. I patched it with Oops XP however.

The tournament was double elimination so you had to be defeated twice before you we out completely. Below are the battles of round one.

Round 2 was faster. No time limit and you lost limbs and could be killed with critical shots! Was a whole lot of fun. Again, thanks Ronan for running the event, Oden and Keldor for taking pictures and everyone who participated. The trophies looked awesome! 

Here is round 2:
 

Our next event will include many cool quests as well as a capture the flag tournament in the battle arena. Of course we will include full video of this event too!  We are also going to send out 3 cameras into the realm with our groups so that we get some great questing videos brought to you by different players :)

Happy LARPing!
