✨ 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐋 𝐁𝐄𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 ✨

Its been a while since there’s been an update, and now that Concord is over and we have a breather we have some exciting news to share!

We haven’t forgotten about Ravenswood and we can all start looking forward to Game 2 for next year!
The Storyteller team are in talks of plots and ideas for the next game and excitement is well underway 😁

We are also planning to do 2 events for LarpWest Presents both in December and February and have some ideas for the mini games we are scheduled for during those events. These will be a great opportunity for new players and those new to LARP to come and see what Ravenswood is all about.
Stay tuned for more details about those mini games closer ahead!

As always, stay magical, and thanks for all your ongoing support. We look forward to updating you on more upcoming Ravenswood plans going forward 🔮✨

And here it is folks, our last installment and final Professor of the “Meet the Professor” series!

Meet your Cursed Objects prof. - Joel! 🧸🏺

…
Hey Ravenswood team, my name is Joel (he/him)

I am very excited to be a part of the Ravenswood team.

For those of you who don’t yet know me, I’ve been around the community since 2016, and have played in and/or ran as a storyteller in various games over the years. I am a passionate prop maker, and I look forward to bringing my touch to Ravenswood LARP.

See y’all there!

Professor Percival “Percy” Maximus, Professor of Cursed Objects (he/him)

Percy hails from the northern suburbs of Perth in a small apartment. He came into the secret world of magic after finding a mentor in a bar late one night on a dark day, Ravenswood’s principal, Acanthus. Ever since, Percy has dedicated his private and working life to the study of magic, rising to the rank of Professor of Cursed Objects.
He holds a part-time job at the local art gallery where he personally oversees shipments of art and artefacts, quietly collecting the pieces hiding cursed auras.

In his downtime, you will find Percy spending time researching his collection, or spending time quietly walking the grounds of Ravenswood.

Welcome to another edition of “Meet the Professors”!
We have one more to introduce you to, so stay tuned!

Here we have Daniel James, our Potions professor! 🧪
We are very excited to have him on board 😊

…
Daniel James (He/They)
Hi, I joined the Perth LARP community about 2 and half years ago and now can't leave. LARP has been a great chance for me to be more myself and I hope to be able to create experiences like that for others. Apart from playing in all of Perth’s big LARP’s I also host Larpwest presents and am one of two 2 game runners for Ascension. I am looking forward to getting the chance to be an NPC and hopefully bring something a little different to your Ravenswood experience.

Camellia Rudel
Professor Rudel is a human who has spent most of his life in gardens and laboratories learning the art of potion making. Rudel has published many books about the proper and ethical use of potion. Camellia is a calm mind and can be sought out for all kinds of advice over a warm cup of tea. As details are key to potion making, Prof. Rudel can be hard on students that do not show it the proper amount of care. Rudel is however eager to teach those eager to learn.

Welcome back to another episode of “Meet the Professors” 📚

Next up, we have Rosalie! Who will be our relief Magical Creatures professor! 🐾

…
Rosalie - she/her
A little about me! I’ve been larping since 2018, beginning with Shattered world as a player before moving into a position as a Storyteller for the final two games. In Concord I first began in a player position before once again moving into a storyteller position as auction the exchange st. Needless to say, as much as I love playing there’s something about creating content that I love!

- Oakley O’Malley - she/her
Oakley is the daughter of two marine biologists who moved to Albany from Scotland shortly after Oakley’s youngest brother was born. As the middle child and only girl in a family of 5 children Oakley has always been ready to stand up for herself. She’d snorkeled with sharks before she was 10 and got her diving license as soon as she could! As a firm believer in mermaid up until her teen hood, Oakley was very unsurprised when her magic manifested.
On a trip to Ireland to visit her Fathers family, she accidentally doubled the size of a birdcage that was far too small for the feathered inhabitants.

Oakley studied at Ravenswood and graduated 2 years ago. During that time she studied teaching at a jackal university. Oakley’s teachers remember her most from her lateness to classes and affinity for collecting a vast number of strays, whether it be fellow students, creatures or occasionally lonely looking stuffed animals.

Now Oakley is a relief teacher for Ravenswood who can be relied upon to arrive late, get off topic and include as much arts and crafts into her lessons as possible! And of course there’s usually a creature of some kind that accompanies her, she’s never without a stray.
