Game Overview

Jaeger is a live action role playing game (LARP) inspired by gothic horror, folklore, the occult and the supernatural. It takes place in a fictional continent inspired by mainland Europe. You, the player, will take on the role of a Jaeger, a professional hunter of monsters. Jaegers travel across the continent to repel the forces of Evil.

The game takes place in a pseudo-18th Century, 1751 at the game’s start. Technology is largely the same between our world and theirs, but with some steampunk elements to accommodate a more advanced flavour to the technology only accessible to Jaegers. A knowledge of the history of the era is not required to play the game, the real world reference points are simply that, references. The rest of the world and its history is fictional.

For this campaign, characters will have newly completed their training at Jaegerhauses and have now been brought out to experience their first mission together in the field. They will be accompanied by more experienced Jaegers, not only to protect them, but to also assess these new trainees. At the end of this campaign, the trainee Jaegers will graduate to fully qualified Jaegers who are ready to face the horrors of Evil without a safety net. 

This is an 18+ game that is designed as a horror experience and may include sudden loud noises, flashing lights, and themes of fear or psychological distress. It is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, have heart conditions, or have other medical concerns that may be affected by stress or sensory stimulation. If you are unsure if this includes you, please contact the team for clarification.

For each event, a trigger list will be provided so that players can notify Game Team of elements of the game so they can be informed of areas of play to avoid. Some themes that the game explores may include: gore, violence, emotional abuse, self-injury, suicide, substance misuse, religious persecution, medical malpractice, pyrotechnics, loud noises, body horror, claustrophobia, psychological horror. 

Roleplay is emphasised over rules. Experimentation and working with the skills you have are key to unlocking the secrets and mysteries of the game.
