The 3rd Annual H.P. Pubcraft Lovecrawl: In Lost Carcosa

Note: The 3rd Annual H.P. Pubcraft Lovecrawl is now SOLD OUT. Thanks to everyone who snagged tickets, I can't wait to party with you on August 29. Let's do this!

Looking for something to do Saturday night of PAX? Step into the dark and mysterious Seattle borough of Ballard for an interdimensional pubcrawl of celestial importance!

The H.P. Pubcraft Lovecrawl is Seattle's most epic pubcrawl and megagame. This year, crawlers will assume a specific role in the setting of Lovecraftian Carcosa, and will become locked in an cosmic battle between cultists and investigators.

You could be a hero. You could be a double-agent. You could go insane. Your choices will have a real impact on the outcome of the night. Will the cultists assume power? Or will good unleash its light on the barren landscape of lost Carcosa?

This fully-baked adventure starts at Hilliard's Brewery on Saturday, August 29 at 8:30. You'll assume your identity, organize your team, and start your adventure. From there, the night will take you on a harrowing journey of epic imporatnce (and ichor consumption). Save Seattle! Save the multiverse! There will be prizes!

We are selling tickets this year to cover costs and make the event as awesome as possible. All ticket proceeds will go directly into the event. I have a detailed budget for anyone who'd like to see it, but the basic breakdown is this: 70% of the budget goes to prizes and giveaways, 20% goes to pubcrawl and megagame supplies, and 10% will be reserved for incidentals. Any money left over after the event will be donated to Child's Play.

There are two levels of tickets. The General Admission level ($6) grants you entry into the H.P. Pubcraft Lovecrawl and full access to the megagame. The VIP Investigator level ($13) includes everything at the General Admission level, plus a poster, an investigator kit (with swag), and priority check-in.

Get your tickets here.

You buy your own drinks. This event is open to everyone 21 and older (no PAX badge required).

And don't forget to RSVP at our Facebook page.

You can catch the D-Line bus from downtown Seattle to Ballard (about a 20-minute ride). It runs every 15-30 minutes and costs $2.50 round trip. For the return trip, there are buses at 12:09 and 12:49 a.m.

Personally, I would recommend Uber going to and from the event. The costs are much lower than a cab, and you can easily call them with the Uber app. If you haven't used Uber before, message a friend who has Uber for a referral code to get your first ride free.

    Some people have been asking me about the game elements of the Lovecrawl, so I figured I'd post the rules and starting packs from last year. Please note that some game elements will change this year based on thematic elements and feedback from last year. Here is a link to the rules.

    And here is a link to the starting pack for the Priest character (there were 8 different characters that players could assume). The red and blue wristbands represent sanity and stamina.

    Hope that adds some clarity. I don't want to give too much info away, however. Don't want to spoil the mystery.

    Please keep in mind that one of the ways we're "stepping it up" this year is by improving the components.

    The Official Ticket Exchange Thread is now live on our Facebook Event Page. If you didn't get a chance to snag tickets, you may be able to find some tickets there. Also, if you got tickets but can't make it, this is a great way make someone's day by granting them your tickets.

    See you in 8 days!

    It depends on the individual, but the pubs are pretty casual. I personally dress up because I like to, but lots of people go in t-shirts too.

    Hey Rowwie. We do try to make this event as immersive as possible. So if dressing up will help you get in the sprit, we highly encourage you to do it!

    I remember last year there was a guy dressed (inadvertently, I believe) as Monterey Jack. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/41/63/9d/41639de7bf2f6792cea03c461f717a64.jpg He was awesome!

    Okay folks, here's the deal. If you didn't snag tix, but still REALLY REALLY REALLY want to come, show up anyway! Well put you on a standby list and fill in spots as they become available (there is a GOOD chance we'll be able to put you in the game). If we can't find a spot for you in the game, you can always just hang out and drink/party with us. See you there!!!
