About Calam

Calam is part of a dream coming true. A couple of years ago, some of our crew went in search for a larp unlike any they ever participated in here in Belgium. Their travels brought them to Sweden, Germany and the United Kingdom. There they saw larp done differently than in Belgium. Getting really enthousiastic about those larps they started to dream of having larps like that here in Belgium.
Calam is one result of that dream. With Calam we want to offer a larp like no other here in Belgium, thus bringing the experience to you, instead you having to go to another country for that experience.

The main language of the larp is English, but other languages are allowed as each province has it's own 'dialect' (meaning other language).

You will decide the balance of the struggle of the Kingdom of Calam. Will you be a loyal citizen of King Gregory III, will you join the rebels of Duke Patrick, will you stay neutral as a mountain folk or be without mercy and become a Barbarian of the South? Choose wisely and be part of this all new mass-larp in Belgium.

To make sure that seasoned participants are (in term of skills) as powerful as the newbie we opted for a freeform style of rules. You will not find skills at Calam. Instead participants will choose a career for their character.
This career will enable a character to do things between event. As such the seasoned participant will have a character that has done alot of actions, become a known character, etc. But during the event itself (in term of combat damage and hitpoints) he/she will be as powerful as a new participants' character.

Besides our simple rules system we've also set a standard for costume and gear. So no advertising for sportwear-brands, no sneakers, etc. The reason we do this is to close the gap between what you see and what you have to imagine. No longer will you have to imagine that e.g. character John Doe's sneakers are nice medieval shoes, cause at Calam it WILL be medieval shoes (or modern walking shoes adapted to make them look medieval). In case of doubt contact us.

If you have been longing for a larp where everything you see and hear is part of the world, then look no further, because Calam will be the larp for you.

We hope to welcome you at our next event.

Calam larp is organised by Arrowhead Events vzw.
