Dark Colony: Hartford

Tonight, you become one of the Kindred, the beautiful and the damned who hide behind our ordinary world. Driven by a hunger like fire, you will struggle to maintain your humanity while immersed in a vicious society of monsters.

The sharks you swim with deadly. The Kindred are the smart, sexy vampires of pop culture, but cruelty is in the nature of kindred and Hartford is one of the most dangerous cities they hold. Why come here if doing so can be a detriment to immortality?

It makes you feel alive.

Dark Colony: Hartford is an OWBN Camarilla Vampire Larp set in Hartford, CT. The longest running continous OWBN game in New England.  DC:H is a continuation of the vampire chronicles Court of Storms and Hartford by Night (started in 1998). Set to the World of Darkness theme for Gothic Punk Personal Horror.  We play every fourth Friday of the month, and aim to give you dark tales of horror, set to the back drop of a classic world of darkness.

Airraid Sirens

by Mike Poirier

July 23rd, 2009

*Airraid sirens can be heard throughout the city, wailing high pitched as a voice crackles over*

"Attention citizens of Hartford: This is the year when hope fails you.
The test subjects run the experiments and the bastard you know, is the hero you hate. But cohesion is possible if we try. There's no reason; there's no lesson; no time like the present; the City is of the free once again. This is not up for discussion.

Good night.”


*With that the city goes dark and there is only silence*

News Update with WFSB Hartford!

Proffessor committed!

 

Trinity College Professor Sean Cocco was committed late last saturday after being arrested by police for disturbing a showing at Real Art Ways.  Saturday evening a large group of atists and creative minds was disturbed by the Professor claiming that they were causing the city to fall apart and that they are pulling, what he claims to be Bloody Mary into this world out of her's.  Lately Real Art ways has enjoyed a large resurgent population of young and creative artists that seem to be filled with new and exciting inspirations.  So much so that the Art exhibit is considering expanding it's facility to help accomidate this new interest in the arts. This disturbance not what standing the city as a whole has been lucky to have a resurgance of the arts as a light in this city that seems to be over shadowed by the crime rate.  The Professor known for his research into the field of natural history and as of late according to fellow colleagues become more eccentric and closed off from his normal routine.  Besides the episode on Saturday night the professor was found with several stacks of flyers that have been seen around the city as well as a new street drug known only as TD.  The Professor was quickly arrested for the disturbance and found to be needing of mental health facilities and was quickly transfered to the Institute of Living.  Reports say the professor was suffering from a stress related melt down as he was carried screaming into the hospitial about how she was there.  We here at WFSB hartford wish the professor a swift and speedy recovery.

Poem

by witch hammer

May 28th, 2009

This poem can be found spray painted in red on the alley wall along side the wadsworth

 

Stranger stop and wish me well,

Just say a prayer for my soul in hell.

I was a good fellow, most people said,

Betrayed by a woman dressed all in red.

Eerie Flyer

by witch hammer

May 19th, 2009

All around hartford, mostly on the under side of the city (Occult, Feitsh, Goth, etc) these flyers can be found.  Sometimes they are even found on the hoods of the cars lining the streets or taped to poles and walls.  No one is quite sure were they are coming from, but they are not hard to come across.
