Welcome to Drift! Drift is a new Science-Fiction LARP, inspired by hard and horror science fiction media.

My name is Iestyn (pronounced “Yes-Tin”) and I’m the director of Drift. Some might know me from playing a number of UK LARP systems, and crewing some other science fiction and horror games.

Today is launch day – the day we make this game public. In truth, we’ve been cooking up ideas for this for at least a year, but some great friends (and my partner) finally convinced me to give this a go whilst we were chatting a few beers down around a campfire in the summer. And then a bunch of fellow game-runners offered a whole bunch of kit and other fun things, and it would have been rude to decline.

We’ve assembled a great game team of close friends to run this somewhat ambitious event; some amazingly smart, creative, thoughtful and sometimes terrifying, friends.

So where do we go from here?

We’re still awaiting a confirmed date for the site booking, but we’ve got a number of potential dates pencilled in for April and May 2026. As soon as this is confirmed and booked, we’ll be making that public, and put tickets live shortly thereafter.

Over the next 3 months, we’ll be launching all of the game rules, character information and all that good stuff you’ll want to know, as-well as some pretty hefty lore drops to get your claws on.

We’ll be dropping stuff periodically by means of dev logs, video and Discord chats as we finalise details, game mechanics and lore. Notionally, this will be every two weeks or so, although cut us a little slack as we’ve still got plenty of events in the calendar to play this year!

Anyways. Jump in the Discord, jump in the Facebook. Ask us questions. Make me question my sanity (just a little please). Looking forward to having you all in the Outer Colonies in the spring.
