Who We Are
Kingdoms of Novitas is a Non-For-Profit LARP that is hosted in a private 400 acre site in Ava, NY. Our game is player run, player founded, player designed and we are all passionate about creating the immersive experience Kingdoms of Novitas offers. As a Non-for-Profit, all money from event fees and donations go right back into the game, which is why we can afford to keep the cost of events so low.
If you’ve never LARP-ed before, live action role-playing (LARP) is a fluid combination of fantasy gaming, interactive theater, real-time combat, and medieval re-enactment. While some live action games lean heavily on imagination, players at Kingdoms of Novitas look, act and dress the parts of their characters, whether they are a simple human bard or a howling Tribesman warrior.
The basic rule: If you can physically do it, and do it safely, play it. Every character and their actions in the world define who we are as we all weave our way through the story of our world.

“I really love KoN because it supports a rare type of community. The kind where all the people–regardless of gender, race, religion, background or skill–can come together and simply accept one another because we are all there for the same purpose and same reason; to enjoy ourselves.”
~Laura K. player since 2013
