We're spotlighting Wasteland Weekend tribe Skofield's Drifters and their high caliber story-telling in Wasteland City. If you find yourself in the festival's theme area, there's a high chance that you'll run into the Drifter's (or other tribes) engaging in some improvised scenes, sometimes a quick business transaction, and sometimes an all-out war in the streets. The Drifter's are no stangers to improvised larping, having a background in Ren Fairs, and they share some of the guidelines they use to make sure things run relatively smoothely and everyone has a good time. The Drifters are also July's patch of the month sponsor, with a patch designed by Coli Unger, so make sure you're signed up and you'll get one in a few weeks.   Buy a map: TheApocalypsePost.square.site Join our Patreon and Patch of the Month: Patreon.com/theapocalypsepost The Apocalypse Post Main Website: TheApocalypsePost.com The Drifters' Page: https://www.facebook.com/SkofieldsDrifters Wastelander Central: https://www.facebook.com/groups/WastelanderCentral Wasteland LARP and Lore: https://www.facebook.com/groups/WWLarpAndLore Tribe Missions: https://www.facebook.com/groups/787379087988212/
