Disclaimer: Ebony & Fang events are established for fans of fantasy and romansty genres for entertainment purposes only. These events require participants to be 18+ for mature themes and identification will be checked by proper authority.

This worldbuilding is all our own for a unique and safe experience.

How To Play

First time LARPER? Experienced? Feeling a little curious either way? Don’t worry, we’re here to explain the basics of how our interactive gaming system works.

Live action roleplay (LARP) is a form of improvisational roleplaying where participants portray characters in a fictional setting, acting out their actions and stories in real-time. LARPS can vary from historical reenactments to narrative sci-fi and fantasy campaigns with foam shield and sorcery, to masquerade balls where strangers can socialize as their characters.

Ebony & Ivory focuses the most on storytelling. We at Phoenix Rising have created our own imaginary world, filled with rich lore of vampire culture throughout multiple decades - including the Victorian age, the Roaring 20s, and 8-Bit 80’s. We celebrate vampires across time and place to appeal to fandoms across books, movies, shows, and history. Each event we host introduces players to a multitude of characters and themed scenarios, some with a social setting and others with a gaming experience.

But how to play, you ask? First, check out our lore on the page below where you’ll find information about our homebrewed clan system. Each clan is represented by a Pillar, who is an actor from a specific clan that acts as the leader and liaison of that clan, and a member of Phoenix Rising’s cast. Enjoy some research, select which clan you’d like your personal character to hail from, and begin your journey.

Is your character a bootlegging criminal from the Industrialists? Or an awkward Newjinn who accidentally makes it storm when they’re angry? Do they seek out buried treasure like a Gaian?

Find your vibe and create your character’s past, drive, and personality traits. Develop these personalities as you encounter other vampires, Pillars, and humans in each of our events.
