Join Us for the Camp Tumbleson Lake Workday for Community and Rewards!

Hello, everyone! We’re excited to announce a fun opportunity for the ACO community - On May 18th, 2024, YMCA of Northern Colorado in conjunction with Rotary Club is hosting a work day at YMCANOCO’s newest campsite, Camp Tumbleson Lake, just outside of Ward, Colorado. This is the site that we and other local LARPs are looking to use in 2024. 

For all participants at the work day, we are excited to offer 120 Colorado Goblin Stamps - plus a Silver Scale, a powerful limited currency that will be used to create LCO magic item picks at our chapter going forward.

This will be a cleanup and preparation day with a variety of manual tasks needed, starting PROMPTLY at 9 am and going until 4 pm. Lunch will be provided. Dress for a mess, bring sunscreen, and show up on time!

This event may pose challenges or limitations for people who use mobility aids, given the nature of the work; we trust you to use your judgment on that

To sign up for this event, please register at the following link: https://epicdayofservice.org/vo-signup/?PID=1330

See you there!

Volunteer With Alliance LARP Colorado Today!

Hello again, Alliance Colorado Community; publicity here with another exciting announcement. We are officially accepting volunteers for our staff team, and along with it, we have launched a staff positions page on our website; an up-to-date listing of all open roles, plus an easy link to apply, can be found at https://www.alliancelarp.co/staff . 

This inaugural batch of volunteer roles includes just the positions we have determined top priority to get our chapter smoothly running to our first event; so while these are very important positions, if you don’t see something you are interested in doing, don’t worry! There are a generous handful of less urgent roles to fill waiting in the wings. The current batch of positions includes Costuming & Design, Logistics, New Player Liaisons, Plot, and Social Media.

Each of these roles will remain open to applications until at least March 28; if you apply before then, you are guaranteed to have your application formally reviewed… but don’t worry! Most of these roles have two or three open slots, and may remain open longer. Simply put, if you can find a job listed on the application form, that means we are still hiring for it.

All ACO volunteer roles come with a regular ACO Goblin stamp compensation on either a monthly or per event basis; we don’t plan for rewards to stop there, though! As more volunteers join the team, we will be having discussions with everyone to learn what rewards drive and excite service. We are excited to see what we can build together! 

It is also important to know that in line with Alliance LARP’s national policies, it is important to note that anyone who accepts a staff position with ACO will undergo a brief background check to verify they do not have a history of Sexual Assault related offenses. During this process, and the entirety of your potential tenure as a volunteer with ACO, our staff will take utmost care with the privacy of your private data to ensure there are no leaks, compromises or abuses. If you have any questions about how we do this, please reach out to customerservice@alliancelarp.co .

That’s all for today’s announcement; thank you for tuning in! Head over to the staff page now to have a look, and see what catches your eye! Alliance LARP Colorado is working hard to build a LARPing experience unlike any other, and we are simply thrilled at the idea of having you join our team to help us build the future of community, storytelling, and immersive action here in Colorado. Good luck!

Alliance Colorado: Now in a CMA near you!

Good day, members and friends of the ACO Community! Today, we are here with an exciting announcement; our chapter is officially live in the CMA, and with it, all players now have the option to transfer characters to ACO as their new home chapter. In addition, we plan to have everyone’s complementary Colorado GS based on that formula from the Q&A delivered soon, so you will be able to get your monthly blankets applied with the new chapter! No Denver stamps to transfer over? No problem! A very easy opportunity to earn some Colorado gobbies will be coming up soon, so keep an eye out for that announcement as well

Ready to move a character over to the new chapter? Sounds good to us! Just fill out the very simple form located here: https://forms.gle/wJLWnx7Xrsd6Yk827 . To complete the form, you will need your name, CMA email, home chapter, and character name. We’re looking forward to hearing from you soon!

With our chapter active in the CMA, we will also be starting the process of replacing legacy Denver magic item tags, which are not in a nationally standard physical format, with acceptable replacements. Please stay tuned for more process information on how you can participate in getting your items replaced in advance of our first event with this optional process! (If you want to keep your old tags, that’s fine too!)

That’s all we have for today’s fairly brief update - thank you for tuning in! As always, stay tuned right here for more exciting updates about what’s going on at ACO.

Oh Look, We Have a Blog Now!

Hello, everyone! Katie here with Alliance Colorado’s first official blog style post - as more information and exciting updates come out about happenings at our lovely game, expect more of these to come out right here on our brand new blog page!

The blog will be used for non-critical information and announcements such as informatics, plot teasers, rules rambles, and anything else that fits the billing - but don’t worry about missing out! Whenever we make a new blog post, it will be shared to Discord, Facebook, and Astral projected into your mind while you sleep. (Okay… we might not have the technology for that one yet, you got me. But you will be dreaming of all the exciting action to be had at ACO soon!)

We’re excited to share information more using this medium - in fact, stay tuned for another post coming soon… tomorrow perhaps?

Cheers,

Katie and the ACO team
