S H E W A L K S I N B E A U T Y . . . L I K E T H E N I G H T . . .The staff of Tampa: Under Night's Cloak welcomes you. The Under Night's Cloak LARP game is a mixed-genre game, mainly Vamipre the Masquerade (3rd Ed.), set against a World of Darkness. We, the staff, continue in 2008, supporting a gaming environment that fosters stories of political intrigue, gothic-horror, mystery, and adventure (along with a little action along the way) while at the same time striving to create an air of positivity throughout the OWbN gaming community in our area. If you are new to LARP, or just haven't checked out the Tampa game in a while, we urge you to come out and immerse yourself in our world... the World of Darkness. T H E S T O R Y S O F A RThe nights are dangerous indeed... dangerous threats to the Camarilla are appearing on all sides, and from within. The social structures of old are collapsing as everyone fends for themselves as the coming times approach. As enemies form uneasy alliances, the best of allies turn into bitter rivals. The nights sap the confidence of the Kindred as their illusions of safety begin to collapse. Those seeking a safe haven from the ways from the political machinations of the elders seek refuge in the outlying territories and on the fringes of Kindred Society. Meanwhile, the power structures are changing in Tampa... What does the night hold for you? A B O U T T H E A R E AWith a population of well over 300,000, the City of Tampa is the third largest city in the State of Florida. Tampa was the 57th most populated city in the United States during 2004. In addition, the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater Metropolitan Statistical Area was the largest populated Metropolitan Statistical area in 2004 (Hillsborough, Hernando, Pasco, and Pinellas Counties) within the State of Florida with 2,537,586 persons and was the 20th largest MSA in the United States. As of 2000, the racial breakdown of the Tampa area was as follows: 0.4% American Indian, 2.2% Asian, 26.1% Black, 64.2% White, 4.2% Other. Included within these numbers, the city boasts a 19.3% Hispanic population. Of these people approximately 18% live in poverty. Violent and Non-Violent crime in the Tampa area is easily twice the numbers for the average in the State of Florida, and three times that of the National Average. |
