Bratislava by Night: Golden Blood
Bratislava. A city that's been everyone's border, everyone's backyard, everyone's pawn. Empires drew their lines through it and the Danube washed them away. Now it's ours.
Kindred? No, thanks. We're licks. No titles, no capes, no bowing. We are the Movement, and Bratislava is now an Anarch Free State. The Camarilla and its fake-ass tower can rot.
Word on the street is there's going to be an auction. Artefacts dragged out of fallen Vienna, going to whoever pays the most, and everyone knows what they're worth. For some, it's a ticket up. For others, a ticket out alive.
But there's a catch. A plague is tearing through the city, and nobody's found a cure. Maybe nobody will.
So before the auction starts, sit down, young licks, and listen. We'll tell you how we became an Anarch Free State, how the Movement took Bratislava, and how it all began and ended.
There's a lot coming. Glad you're in. Try not to die.

Bratislava by Night: Golden Blood is a LARP, a live action roleplaying game in which you play a character in a shared story. It is set in Vampire: The Masquerade (Fifth Edition), a world where vampires secretly live among humans.
In our game, the Anarchs rule Bratislava, which makes the city an Anarch Free State. Anarchs are usually young vampires and rebels who refuse to let the elders dictate how they live their (un)lives. They call themselves "licks", because they are no elite upper crust but rather a goth-punk street life. They are diverse, but they hold to one fundamental rule: they uphold the tradition of the Masquerade, that is, keeping their identity secret from humans.
In our specific act of the story, an auction of artefacts from fallen Vienna is coming and a plague is spreading through the city. You will talk to other players, make plans and strike deals, and what happens is up to you.
It is a horror game with no heroes. You play a vampire who lives on human blood, and your character will often do morally dark things. The game is a fictional space to explore such questions: the character is not you, and none of it is real. If something makes you uncomfortable, tell us in section 4.
How the game will be played
The game consists of 2 blackboxes ("what happened in the past"), followed by the main game: the auction house / Anarch forum. Most likely you will play 2 characters, but this does not apply to everyone. In short: 2 flashbacks for each player, followed by the main game.
We will tell you more about the game design later. We will explain this further when we contact you, or when you contact us, as part of game prep.
• Anarch freedom and rebellion against the old order
• Power, politics and intrigue around the auction
• Artefacts from fallen Vienna, and what they are worth
• A plague spreading through the city, and the fight to survive it
• The past: how we became an Anarch Free State, and how it all began and ended
The game will be held at Dom kultúry Zrkadlový háj, which is our location and our partner for this event.
Address: Rovniankova 3, 851 02 Bratislava-Petržalka (
open in Google Maps).
The game will be indoors only.

we will email you the Tootoot payment link together with your registration confirmation, and we will contact you further only after you have paid.
NPCs do not pay for participation, only for food, which is optional. NPCs complete the game for the other players. We will contact NPCs after registration.

The price depends on the date you make the payment, not the date it reaches our account. The date of payment decides.Tootoot sends us the whole amount only after the LARP, so you will not see your payment on our
