In a world where Magic is real, Princes are Charming, Queens are Evil and Dreams can come true.

I don't want to complain, but I feel I'm being typecast as a normal human. Next Chimera I want to play an alien, a ninja or a demon lesbian. ~ Derek
Chimera, New Zealand's largest larp convention, is here for its fifth year and is eager to welcome old hands and new faces alike for what will be the biggest convention yet! Last year, Chimera played host to twenty eight larp games, an epic space opera and more new larpers than ever before.
This year, Chimera is set to once again draw larpers from across the country to Auckland for a a marathon weekend of a mind-blowing 33 games. Our Saturday night flagship this year is an 80 player dark fairy tales game with two simultaenous runs to accommodate up to 160 players. The convention timetable boasts a wide array of genres, from old favourites such as fantasy,western and horror, to the popular new genre of steampunk, and everything in between.
Chimera continues to be a great way for new larpers to meet the community, and for returning larpers to see old friends. In 2012, Chimera sprawls across the entirety of Motu Moana Scout Camp, with added accommodation and playing space. The fifth annual Chimera is going to be a massive event in the larping calendar, so register today and bring your friends!
