OOG Information:
Welcome to the 2025 Altered Masquerade!
This year we will have our soiree at 688 Richmond St W (near Richmond and Bathurst), a wonderful space that will present us with an excellent opportunity for socializing, dancing, gaming, talent-ing and more! The event will take place on March 22nd, starting at 5pm. We will have the entire studio space to ourselves, and this year, the space is wheelchair accessible!
Additionally, we ask that you bring some sort of food to contribute to a potluck! We ask that OOG ingredient lists accompany your dish, and encourage you to have some fun with making otherworldly delights! In the past, folks have treated us to Hellcat Jerky and, of course, Mr. Touchy Face’s Jellied Soul Surprise.
We’re also looking forward to running a talent show and having board games available to give us all something to do, in addition to the socialization. If you’re interested in joining the talent show, please keep an eye out for the post. If you’re interested in bringing games, please feel free to do so!
You can register for the event by e-transferring $40 to [email protected]. Please include the note “2025 Altered Masquerade”, if possible.

IG Information:
This is an in-character event, which means that you can expect some lighter narrative elements, along with gaining 2 AP for your attending character. We will attempt to have sectioned off areas to be out-of-game, for those who need a break or simply wish to socialize with their friends.
The Masquerade is a function of the reality-warping nature of the Flux. It is represented by a dreamlike state that is similar to, yet a departure from, reality - as such, your character’s consciousness will be transported here by some means (that no one has been able to explain…yet), and your costuming should reflect your character’s ideal of how they would look in a fancy setting.
For this event, you will not need item tags or phys-reps of any kind. Larp-safe weapons are permitted as decorations, but you may not use them to engage in any combat or physically active demonstrations.
Fear not, those of you who have characters in limbo! Characters awaiting resurrection can attend the Masquerade - in fact those requiring death scenes will be able to have their…meeting…at the event, so that they can enter game faster, come the first full event of the 2025 season.
We look forward to seeing you all soon!
