One-Shot, Convention, & Bespoke Parlor LARP & Freeform Games

Credits

Theatre Arcanos runs LARPs based on popular fiction franchises, including works by Jim Butcher, Lois McMaster Bujold, Steven Brust, Patrick Rothfuss, and Joss Whedon. We do not run our derivative games for gain or as a commercial enterprise, but as a labor of love, and we consider them a sort of fan fiction. We, in fact, spend a fair-sized chunk of money out of our own pockets every time we run one. While we will accept and appreciate reimbursement for production or travel expenses, or donations of office supplies and props, we do not accept any sort of tips or remuneration for any of our derivative games.

The images used on our site and in our games are either free-to-use clip art, images in the public domain, or created by the credited artist for our use. The Theatre Arcanos logo was created by and is copyright Kimmi Allbee, and is used with permission.  Most other Theatre Arcanos props and graphics were created by Cayden Coronado, Mary McKay-Eaton, or Michelle McNeill.  The creator owns the copyright, and they are used with permission.

The Dresden Files were created by Jim Butcher. He owns all the copyrights, and richly deserves all the money. You should totally send him bucketfuls.

Lois McMaster Bujold is the creator of the Vorkosigan Saga books. She owns all the copyrights, and is very much deserving of any and all commercial gains from its existence.

Firefly was created by Joss Whedon, and while we still have not forgiven him for many things, including Wash, that doesn’t mean that he does not deserve the credit for creating the ‘Verse.

The Kingkiller Chronicles is a creation of Patrick Rothfuss. We’re eagerly awaiting Doors of Stone too, but in the meantime, please buy his other books.

Steven Brust wrote the Vlad Taltos books. He deserves the credit for those, except where we can blame Paarfi of Roundwood.
