Dead Air


Carcosa Dreams, in association with the Greater Alps Knitting Circle, presents

DEAD AIR

a freeform live-action game set in the world of Ars Magica, for 65 players.


The Alps. There’s a reason they divide us all. The higher you go, the deader the air, until there’s nothing left to breathe and you have to become something entirely different to survive.

-Bjornaer

Dead Air will be held at Ingestre Hall, Staffs, from 25th to 27th November, 2022.


In the beliefs of the ancient Dacians, the Alps were the spine of a long-sleeping dragon upon whom mountains had grown. Who are you to scoff, that know so little of the dark powers of the underworld?

– Guernicus

What is magic but the rules dictating the means of manipulating a paradigm? What are magi but paradigmatic architects? Magic is not for using, it is for defining.

– Criamon

If we are all doomed, what harm then to come together and listen to a wise man’s words – even if you think them an outlandish dream? If the world is ending, do you have anything better to do?

Mercere, to Tytalus
