Atomic Dawn is a sandbox-style LARP event similar to apocalyptic video games like Fallout and Metro. Players become wasters who go on dangerous missions, participate in conflict and politics with other player groups, and pursue victory across a variety of win paths.
You’ll need appropriately rated eye and face protection to play at Atomic Dawn. You’ll also need a dead rag.
If you’re planning to play at night, you’ll need a flashlight as well.
We use airsoft guns that fire plastic BBs to make the experience more immersive and exciting. You don’t need to carry a gun to participate, but your experience may be more challenging!
Take a peek at the safety rules here for more information!
Atomic Dawn takes place in an atompunk nuclear apocalypse.
Player outfits should be in the spirit of this theme - beat up, dirty clothes.
It's been five years since the Star Father looked down the barrel of a gun for the final time. Things haven't changed much in the Monocacy Valley... Sure, the faces are different... but the story's always the same. Whoever has the most caps, the most guns, and the most chems wins.
Power loves a vacuum. Some Irish gang shot up the casino a few years back; seems like they've done well for themselves. They're called the "Patrick Street Boys". Folks say they're some kind of last-century razor gang trying to bring back the old world. Their leader - Declan McCormick - is a Fenian devil, a forked-tongue deceiver who spews piety and betrays it through his empire of depravity.
Those Commie bastards weren't able to do much about it after that clanker boss of theirs went cuckoo. The New Frontier weren't much help either... those people have their own problems after their whole damn city burned down.
Today, the Patrick Street Boys are on top... but tomorrow it'll be someone else, and someone else the day after that. See, the names change and the faces change, but war?
