Who is Valley by Night?

Founded in 1995 Valley by Night (VbN), is the longest running LARP in the Phoenix area. Currently in Valley by Night, Phoenix is a Camarilla city. VbN uses the “old” World of Darkness rules. Clans available for players are the Camarilla 6 which include; Tremere, Toreador, Brujah, Malkavian, Nosferatu, and Ventrue plus Gangrel. Other clans are available with storyteller permission.

Games are held on the 2nd and 4th Saturday’s of the month and begin at 8pm. For more information email vbn-storyteller@yahoogroups.com. The current storyteller staff includes: Mickey Taylor, Christopher Campbell and Janette Larson Ali.

If this concept is new to you? Here are some of the basics:

LARP stands for Live Action Role Playing. Remember Dungeons and Dragons? This is similar in concept, with two big exceptions. First, instead of being a game about Swords and Sorcery, It is about vampires in a World of Darkness. Also, instead of huddling around a table with sheets of paper and funny looking dice, the roles that we take on are acted out, around whatever area we play at. (Instead of rolling dice for determining who wins in combat, we do rock-paper-scissors)

The World of Darkness is a gaming genre created by White Wolf Publishing. You may have seen a short lived TV series called Kindred: The Embraced. That is a very small version of the World of Darkness. There are many clans of Vampires. There are also Werewolves, Mages, Ghosts, and other supernatural residents in this reflection of our world.
