Curious Pastimes is a professional live roleplaying (LRP) company based in the UK that has been running the Renewal campaign since 1996. In 2019 we will be running our 24th Renewal, supported as usual by three other interconnected events during the summer. Curious Pastimes specialises in running high quality large scale Player versus Monster battles against consistently fresh, challenging enemies, during which both sides have the flexibility to change and adopt new battle plans and tactics. We also offer a wide variety of plots of different flavours and scales, and provide many Non Player Characters (NPC’s) for players to interact with. The Renewal campaign has a tried and tested Alchemy and Crafting system along with many other research and trading opportunities. There is an easy to understand and comprehensive magic system that includes both ritual magic and spell casting, and ever-growing opportunities to delve into new and deeper arcana. Curious Pastimes is a family friendly system that welcomes both new and experienced players of all ages to its rich, long running campaign.
