What is Bicolline?
Bicolline is basically what happens when you take a bunch of nerds, give them swords, costumes, and a medieval village the size of Disneyland, and say, "Go nuts."
It's North America's largest and most immersive medieval fantasy LARP, set in a custom built world full of political scheming, economic backstabbing, intense roleplay, wild tavern parties, and full scale battles with hundreds (sometimes thousands) of players on the battlefield.
If that sounds overwhelming, don't worry. We're here to help!
Can you explain Bicolline to me?
Bicolline is officially a LARP, but not in the traditional sense.
Explaining the concept of Bicolline is seriously a hard task, since everyone has widely different experiences and expectations of what Bicolline is, and that's actually the best part of it. Bicolline is a living, breathing world with a lot of everything for everyone.
To help understand what Bicolline is, we've broken it down into some of the key elements that make up the Bicolline experience, but do note that this is not an exhaustive list, and that the best way to understand Bicolline is to experience it yourself.
The 6 grand categories which make up Bicolline!
Politics - Game of Thrones meets Real life
At the center of Bicolline is a MASSIVE political game, with nations, guilds, alliances, factions and so much more. The political game at Bicolline, is as realistic as real-life politics. Meaning not everything is based upon truth, and logic! Backdoor deals, corruption, back scratching and more is all part of the game!
Some players live for this stuff while others do it as a chore. But like it or not, politics is what makes Bico feel real. Politics is absolutely one of the main driving forces for lore, quests, wars and characters villages getting burned!
Economy - Fantasy Stock Market
Solars & Cards litterally rule everything at Bico. Whether you're getting musicians for parties, upgrading your lands, trying to hire soldiers for the grand battle, or committing mild tax evasion, the in-game economy is real, and hilariously complex. You want to build an empire? You'll need more than just charm, you'll need a guild banker who's good at math, Excel, and who's got a LOT of time on their hands.
Roleplay - Be the Goblin You Wish to See in the World
At Bicolline, you can be whoever (or whatever) you want, and nobody's gonna stop you.
- Wanna be a holy orc paladin powered by hugs and divine energy? - Do it!
- Feel like eating babies and praying to your 12-foot-tall demon god? - Also valid!
- Or maybe you just want to be yourself but with pointy ears and a taste for medieval fashion. - Glorious!
Roleplay at Bico isn't locked behind rules or classes. It's improv theatre with swords, wine, and a suspicious amount of frog based religions. So let your imagination go wild! Just remember, at Bicolline, the golden rule is "what you see is what you get". So make sure your roleplay is actually believable, if you're gonna be the High Priest of the Fire Lizard Cult, you better look the part.
Parties & Immersion - One Giant Renaissance Fair on Fire (Metaphorically)
From tavern singalongs and massive gnome parades to 3 AM dancing in the mud while yelling "Moist," the party never really stops. Some people come for the combat, others for the questing, but everyone stays for the sheer, immersive vibes. The entire site is candle lit, foggy, and buzzing with magic, chaos, and cider. Lots of cider.
Combat - Hit People With Foam (Legally!)
The glorious chaos of the battlefield. There are small skirmishes, epic sieges, and the famous Grande Bataille, a full blown war with thousands of fighters. You'll scream, wave your foam sword around, die (dramatically), and maybe even win. If you're a fan of adrenaline, tactics, and looking like a sweaty legend, this is your moment.
*Do not attempt heroics without supervision. You are not the main character. You will die. A lot.*
Bicolline Life - Living in a Fantasy Village
Bicolline isn't just one big event, it's a year round, multi event fantasy lifestyle. Between battles and parties, people are out here building literal houses, handcrafting gear, writing 300-page lore docs no one asked for, forming guilds, hosting banquets, and yes, probably raising frogs for reasons unknown. It's not just a game, it's a whole medieval world that keeps growing because you keep shaping it. Whether you show up once a year or live in fulltime goblin mode, Bico has a spot with your name on it (possibly carved into a cursed totem too!).
Welcome home.
TL;DR: Bicolline is what happens when LARPs, cosplay, D&D, war games, historical reenactment and renaissance fairs have a baby, and then that baby drinks mead and starts yelling in French.
So grab your sword, your friends, and your weirdest hat. We're going to Bico.
