Thankyou

With The Drake Objective completed over the weekend just gone we'd like to thank all our players and crew for making it a smooth event.

We'll shortly release the feedback survey where you can tell us what you really thought of it.

Hi all, there's still a few player spaces remaining for High Frontier: The Drake Objective in July, ideally we could do with filling them in the next month or so as we can then start working on briefings and any downtime actions.  If you are debating about coming then remember you don't have to pay the full amount up front and we're always open to other plans.  All information is in the practical information document that you can dowbnload from here:

GM meeting

The great wheel of LARP continues to turn, I'm still coming down from a weekend LARP in Spain but I've just finished a great chat with the GM team for High Frontier: The Drake Objective. There are still both player and crew spaces available for this event, all information should be in the event page.

Paul Nash memorial cup win

Hi all, just to add my chorus of thanks to all who make Dropzone possible (having been on that side of the curtain, I know how it feels).

I’d also like to thank my fellow GMs on “The Drake Objective - Extraction”, Nick, Simon and David. I’d also like to thank all who voted for the game last night, I think every GM who sets out to run games are happy with the knowledge that players enjoyed it. Anyway, my bath is running and I’ll see you in July...

The Drake Objective

 Hi all, if you read my post game analysis on “High Frontier : The Goodman Protocol” then you may remember the first version of that game was written on a cruise holiday back in November 2018 (the file ‘TGP Retrospective’ is still in the files area on this page). Since the end of that LARP, for reasons I’m not going to go into, I said I wasn’t prepared to write/run the sequel (despite the fact I had around a page of notes on my iPad) and thats been my stance for the last 6 months. Some of you weren’t keen on letting it lay there and have been poking and prodding since then, so I agreed to take one last look at my notes on my most recent cruise holiday.

To that end, I’ve now got a game concept that I am happy to run. ‘The Drake Objective’ will be a sequel to ’The Goodman Protocol’ (although you don’t need to have played that game to play this one). Returning and new characters will be welcome. Currently I don’t know where or when this LARP will happen (but if it happens in 2023 then it won’t be at the Grange). My next step is to form a GM Team, work on a budget and then work on a site/date. I’ll post here when I have something more but the sequel is coming. I’ve also written a couple of encounters for a third part I’m tentatively calling “The Weyland Factor” but I have decided these two games will be my last ones in this universe as I also have something else I’m working on. As ever, any questions then let me know.
