As of midnight last night, I can finally announce that next year I will be organising a series of vampire gaming events as part of the Dracula Returns to Derby celebrations.

There is a lot going on behind the scenes and I cannot wait to share with you what we have planned.

🎉 Dracula Returns to Derby: Celebrating 100 Years of Dracula on Stage! 🧛‍♂️

In collaboration with Dracula Returns to Derby, join us for Mythic Echoes’ vampire gaming extravaganza.

Stay tuned for more details!

This time last month we were hosting our immersive vampire experience; As Night Falls: The Auction - a vampire live role-play, where everyone took on the role of a vampire in a gothic auction within the majestic splendour of Elvaston Castle.

Looking forward to more #dnd and #TTRPG events next year.

If there’s one thing that’s likely to massively boost the popularity of the BBC in the UK, it’s being attacked by Donald Trump.

Elvaston Castle is always an incredibly atmospheric location for D&D.

This is so pretty. Absolutely nails the mood and themes of the films.
Alien: The Roleplaying Game - Evolved Edition collection is out of this world.

It has everything players need for running adventures in the Alien, from frontier colonisation to colonial Marine missions.

The miniatures are a new addition. They look amazing and include simplified skirmish rules.

I have been looking forward to this arriving!
What's in the box?

This was so much fun to run in Elvaston Castle.
Some more photos from our vampire LARP As Night Falls: The Auction.

Characters were invited to an auction for Vlad Tepes's blood, whilst navigating dynastic politics of vampire society.

Back on my bike now that the kiddies have returned to school and I have more free time (I say whilst preparing my adventure for Dungeons and Dragons at Elvaston Castle...)

In a weeks time I will be hosting a game of D&D at Elvaston Castle.

Midwinter holds the city of Derventio in an icy grip, but the dead are stirring; strange lights can be seen in the city’s necropolis and there are whispers that something is coming.

Had a great time leading the March of the Vampires in Derby last night.

No photos of the march itself, but here is one taken on the way back to our car.

It is our favourite time of the year. #halloween
Care to join us as dinner?

Happy Halloween from the Mythic Echoes team. We hope everyone enjoys a fangtastic and suitably spooky night being horrifically glamorous.
