Dragonbane

The game itself took place from July 27 to August 4, 2006 in Älvdalen, Sweden, close to the border with Norway.

Dragonbane was an unusually large LARP project with a budget approaching 1 million euros.

The building of the village begun in spring 2005 and took (a few winter months excluded) until the very day the game began on July 4, 2006.

Fewer than a third of the 1000 player spaces were filled, but still the project went ahead, and after several preliminary events (to help build the site and establish characters) the 5-day game was run.

Player response to the event was mixed, dwelling both on the high standards of the immersive environment and on technical and organisational flaws.
