			Living Fiction Presents

**********************************************************************
	    T H E   B A R O N ' S   T O U R N A M E N T

Baron Galamir of Ertland cordially invites you, adventurer, to the Tourney Grounds of Ertland for a day of fighting, feasting, music and adventure.  Prizes will be awarded for all manner of cunning and skill in magery, the stealthly arts, healing and fighting.  A Game of Search will be played throughout the hills of Ertland, where perhaps you can uncover items of great magic and win the favor of the Baron or the King for recovering these lost treasures.

Both lunch and dinner feasts will be served, freshly made, by the baron's own manor chef, with foods for both exotic and mundane tastes, and drinks will flow freely all day.

Please, do attend!
				-Baron Galamir of Ertland
*********************************************************************

The Baron's Tournament is a live action outdoor roleplaying adventure being held at China Camp State Part in San Rafael, (Marin County) California.
The games will involve both problem solving, hiking, live-combat with Living Fiction's Safe-Swords and Safe-Shields, and of course, roleplaying and interaction with both other players and the residents of Ertland.  Players will compete in teams for prizes at the tournament, and to find what items may be hidden around the pastoral outlands.

Food, Lunch and Dinner, will be provided by Living Fiction, as will weapons, spells, props, magic components and even costumes for those who need them.  Living Fiction uses a paint-marking system for scoring, with palmer and crayola paints safe for 95% of all cloth-types, but - to be safe, we suggest that you test any garb you want to bring ahead of time to see if it will stain.  If you need a costume, just let us know! We have a large stock of basic garb for new players and players who don't want to risk 
their good-goods at the game.

Time: July 30th, Time: 10:00 am to Sunset
Cost: $15 
Place: China Camp State Park's Miwok Meadows campground and surrounding trails.

PRE REGISTER SOON!  50 PLAYERS MAXIMUM!

This season's In Character features articles on LF itself (duh.. ;) ) a new Mush Belior Rising,based on Anne McCaffrey's Pern world, SIL West's Secrets of the Necronomicon game, Silicon Intrigue ( version of Stanford's THE GAME), and other events and groups in the bay area.
