Xadune is a Victorian Gaslamp Live Action Role Play (LARP) game with Steampunk, Fantasy, and Horror elements. The game is centered in Atlanta, Georgia, and runs in several Georgia State Parks.
Created 2009 during the rise of steampunk communities, Xadune is now the longest-running LARP campaign in Georgia. Imagined as a LARP like no other, it pioneered elements of LARPing which are common to the region today. Of the firsts in Georgia, Xadune has: the first mod-based LARP, the first fictitious religion system, and the first classless system. Xadune is about reaching new frontiers in live action roleplay.
Xadune hosts nine events yearly, lasting 3 days. Events are held in one of four locations in Georgia: Indian Springs State Park, Hard Labor Creek State Park, F. D. Roosevelt State Park, and A. H. Stevens State Park, in their respective group camps. Events start on Friday night and end Sunday morning. We strive for a high-immersion environment throughout the entire event.
This game is not intended for children. The minimum age to play is 17, as the story of Xadune involves mature topics such as war, violence, poverty, addiction, religion, cults, and politics.
The story of Xadune follows the group of Adventurers in Ward 5, a section of a mysterious Island city home to an infinite number of portals to an infinite number of places. The Island appeared suddenly a over decade ago, and since the world has been attempting to discover its secrets.

Hello! I am Honor and I’ve been LARPing since my junior year in college. The only thing I regret is not getting into it sooner! Xadune was my first LARP and it excited me right off the bat. I’ve been coming back ever since and even did a plot stint! Now I am here to help you as Story Team. 🙂
Honor is a professional animal lover and when I’m not gardening I’m probably candle making. Happy to meet you and make this experience fun for everyone!
