Heather Long and Sam Mason are running their Unhappy Guests larp on

You can get tickets here! Design document and details the comments!

Unhappy guests! Is the much anticipated sequel to our debut LARP Unhappy Campers.

"Come and immerse yourself with a new horror genre. Themed after the dazzling 1920s and inspired by works like the Great Gatsby, the Shining, and the cosmic thrillers of HP Lovecraft.

The game will be framed around players taking on the role of socialites, mobsters, detectives and entertainers and good common working folk attending the grand opening.

But watch out. As occult happenings, murderous siblings, holes in reality and a haunted teddy bear is only the scratch of the surface of this place. Run, hide, investigate, fight, make deals with the devil, survive and try to uncover just what in Creation is happening.

We are Dying to see you again."

Grab your space at GOETIA: THE NIGHT OF ONE HUNDRED DEMONS

There are spaces available at the incredible Goetia: The Night of One Hundred Demons at Ingestre Hall on the 4th to 7th of September 2025. You will be joining an incredible cast of storytellers and crew as we recreate the events that immediately followed the second Fall from Heaven through the eyes of possessed occultists.

During the day you will enjoy an occult symposium, meeting and greeting with Occult Luminaires from all across the United Kingdom's class ridden socially conservative culture of the 1930s. Then in the evening all of the occultists allow themselves to be possessed by one of seventy two Goetic demons who take control of their body and live out a frenzy of sinful behaviour to feed the demons primal appetites.

Seventy Two Goetic Demons, Twenty One Fallen Angels and the infamous Seven Course Banquet of Sin.

The Night of One Hundred Demons is about to begin.

Join us.

But don’t just take our word for it…
“I think what I loved is that the game took several turns that I had no idea would or could happen, and I felt like I had a lot of agency and I could create an amazing ending for myself which also gave others a great game.”

“I adored the background of the world that had been built as well as discussing metaphysics and theology!”

“The rituals that were conducted were great and the depth to the characters we were presented with was delicious!”

“The absolute highlights for me came in the flavour of the mixed demon + human play. The moments where I couldn't be certain if I was approaching a human or a demon was incredible and I loved being given the chance to play two very different characters who slowly became one.”

“My favourite thing was the way that I was forced to consider what are normally abstract, hypothetical questions of morality and philosophy under huge pressure of time and consequence, with skin in the game.”

VALOUR MANOR IS GOING AHEAD!
We have been blown away by the responses to this incredible larp and we are looking forward to seeing you all next year! We are extremely happy with the hype and support this project has received and it is clear that you are as excited as we are by the idea.

We are in the process of sending emails to EVERYONE, including people who did not get a space at the larp. However there seems to be some technical troubles that we are working through (techsupport have been notified). If you have not received the email by tomorrow evening then check spam or promotion or page two/three or unread messages. You know how it is! Let us know if you cannot find it by emailing us at [email protected]

This is happening. We will breathe life into the horror show hero academy that is Valour Manor.

Where heroes are not born, they are made.

Sign up for Valour Manor is now OPEN!

VALOUR MANOR is a larp that takes place in a modern day training academy for Superheroes in a world where having powers is highly regulated, frightening and dangerous. Inspired by The Boys and X Men, Valour Manor looks at corporate exploitation, chosen family and public relations while trying to get a licence to hold onto powers you barely control or understand.

Sign ups will remain open until the 7th JULY. It is important that you sign up since we will not be able to run this larp if we do not have enough participants expressing an interest.

If we are lucky enough to need to, we will run a lottery to allocate spaces at the larp. If you are given a space you will have the option to either pay for a ticket by the 31st JULY or make the initial payment for Reservation plans if you require a little support.

The larp will run from 1st to 4th of MAY 2025 at Ingestre Hall in Staffordshire UK. There are regular trains from London. Accommodation and meals will be provided as well as hospitality, welfare and support.

Character casting will be done later in the year and you will be asked what kind of role you want to play in this larp. The characters are kept in “Superhero Groups” of varying sizes and you will share a room with your group. You are invited to sign up with your friends for a shared experience and will be asked about this closer to the casting.

There is a Valour Manor Playlist that you can find on Spotify here to get into your alt rock 60s, 90s and 2020 vibes.

Find all links in the comments!

VALOUR MANOR is launching next week!!

Inspired by the Boys, X Men, Watchmen and V for Vendetta, Valour Manor is set in a British Post Graduate academy preparing people with superpowers for their Superpowered lives! The characters are all people with powers who are hoping to get a place on the legendary British Superhero team THE BRIGADE, while also making sure that they keep up with their assignments, please their sponsors, don’t make too many enemies or lose track of who they really are.

We will see who will be Superheroes and who will end up being sold as part of the UK Military Industrial complexes Superspy program. Those not good enough for either of these paths may consider a career in the Super Civil Service or maybe just end up as Super Celebrities trying to leverage their status to gain followers.

We are psyched for it and we have an amazing crew lined up. Because of the increase in venue prices this event will only go ahead if we get enough bookings. Therefore we will have a signup period before selling tickets. If you want this incredible larp to go ahead make sure to sign up next week!

Website cooming soon.

Instalment payments for Goetia
If you have a UK paypal instalment is a service that they can provide for you, however we have discovered that this is not an option available to everyone. In order to ensure fairness and flexibility across our participants we will instead reserve a set number of spaces until 1st of July to give you as much flexibility as you need in order to pay.

This way you can pay for your ticket at a pace that works for you without worrying about adding an extra burden to us and without worrying about losing your place.

This is how reserving a space at Goetia will work.
- Write us an email at [email protected] and if there are reserved spaces free we will reserve you a ticket and put you on the attendee list.
- You will also receive the password for the reserved tickets in our shop.
- You can then pay for the ticket any time between now and 1st of July.
- If you do not pay by 1st of July the ticket will no longer be reserved for you.

Please only use this service to help facilitate payments. Do not use it to “hold a space while you decide”. There are a lot of tickets and this is something we want to offer to those who need it.
