Mainspring is an ongoing live action freeform, which runs from 2pm to 5pm on the 3rd Sunday of each month at the ANU in Canberra. It is set in a world which is part pulp and part steampunk. It has Mad Science, allowing for fantastic devices such as Clockwork Automaton, steam-powered Clanks, Lightning guns, Frankenstein style creations and many more. In the high northern snows dinosaurs roam, while Zeppelins and Ornithopters fight for the skys in the south. Characters can be from one of 4 races human, Galetean(organic construct), Automaton or Clank. They can be associated with the Military, the University or the Nobility. They can come from either country; Guilder or Florin. Several months ago the city of Mainspring was ceded to Guilder as part of the peace treaty which suddenly ended the recent bitter war between the two countries.
 | Next Game: Sunday 20nd June 08
Mainspring has had the first of its big winter storms. Locals are preparing for the big "white out", when long term blizzards can sealed off the city for weeks. People are sometimes trapped in buildings for days, anyone outside for more than a few minutes will suffer frostbite or worse. The town may be cut off from the outside world for weeks or even months at a time.
Food supplies have been pouring into the city by Zeppelin thanks to the efforts of Wainwright, Landier and Tu`thmar. Stocks are being put aside for the storm season. With the railway also being repaired, Mainspring is in a good position to survive its first winter as a part of Guilder.
Next month will be the big Clank races, and some people are already preparing their costumes for the big masked ball in November.
OOC: The game is on Sunday, the 20th June, at the ANU, Copland G30 / G31. Arrive 1:30pm for a 2:00pm start (5:00-5:30 finish). You can find it on the ANU campus map:- map.
