- My time at the Duchy of Bicolline was an amazing unforgettable experience and I’m glad to have gone. I went with the Voyage North and a lot of things were covered by them and it was great to be able to just show up, have a cot and tent ready, with add ons available like bedding and sleeping bags as well as having lunch and dinner covered each day. They aren’t the only way to get to Bicolline, but they are one way to have everything covered if you come from overseas or too far to commute.
Friends, fighting, concerts, unforgettable characters, incredible nature, beautiful buildings, Bicolline really had it all. It’s one thing to see videos of it online, and it’s a whole other thing to see it in person. I’m really grateful I got to go.
I hope you guys enjoy this video about my experience. Let me know about yours in the comments below, or link your own experience at Bicolline video I’d love to hear about it.

24:33 The marshall probably taught you the expression "Je peux embarquer ?", where the english expression "to embark" comes from.
Basically means "to get on the boat", but applies to several other means of transportation.
You probably know a lot more french than you think - So many english expressions and words are derived from french, ever since the battle of Hastings in 1066.
Love your videos, keep up the amazing work !
- Guibourg of the White Lions, your back door neighbours.
I remember it being longer and more confusing to me but that could have just been my brain really stressed about how to say the words lol. Thank you very much! I appreciate that. (:
Thanks so much for sharing this!
Couldn't have described the event any better myself. Yes I remembered that story of you accidentally getting involved in a duel, it never gets old to hear it LOL. What a magical time it was, hoping to experiencing it again soon. Cheers!
Thanks (: and yeah it’s embarrassing haha, but it’s funny as heck just thinking about me running in with a spear and interrupting a duel. It really was fantastic! Hope to be back at Bicolline in a couple of years myself!
Good video! Jin Sakai of Derthorn here. We were the ones who stole Peter Pain's Sword and kidnapped one Freckeledhobo straight outta Ordo Camp.
Haha I think I might have delivered a little hourglass timer to your camp at one point! That’s some shenanigans you guys pulled lol
Hi! Bellus Mama here! I'm so happy that you had a great time at Bico!! Can't wait to see you again!!
Hey! Thank you, I hope to see you again too!
Embarquer: 'Hum-Bark-Hey' : To embark. Usually used to get in a ship, but is also used in Québecois French to get in any vehicle.
Thank you! That was it. I know spanish as a base and I get so confused with the pronunciation.
Loved it!🤍✨ I’m planning on making a wee video at some point too! Was so lovely meeting u x
Aw thank you! I’ll be waiting for your video, and it was awesome meeting you and Jac (: you guys were a huge highlight!
The groups tavern looks like my hunting camp!
Oh wow that sounds like it looks pretty cool then lol
Awesome video ! Such a magical place ! Thanks for sharing with us. My favourite memories of that week are too numerous to recount, glad you guys had a great time and hope to see you there in the near future :)
Thank you (: I don’t think I even touched on half of mine because some moments were personal exchanges with friends made and while they are dear to my heart, sharing them doesn’t do them justice in a way. So I totally get that!
Never been, just found out about aaaaa,this.
Can not wait to go!
That’s awesome! I hope you do get to go!
Great video! Hope to get to meet you next year!!
Thank you, I might be skipping a year but I hope to meet you too!
I am not into this at all. But i definetly can appreciate the work behind it and it looks like a great experience!
The rain! Our tent almost got flooded out, but we barricaded ourselves in there to keep the water out
Oh man, yeah the rain was so awful. Im glad you guys had something worked out at least, took us all by surprise.
Very cool!
Did you see the dragonhead stroller while you were there?
I can’t remember too clearly if I did but if I go to Bicolline again I’ll keep a lookout!
Any advice about which guild/house to join as a first time So Cal attendee with many years of LARP experience?
Well there’s a lot of political change that happened really recently and so there’s a few differences between Nova vitae and Ordo and the Marchwardens. Particularly who they are allied with so Nova is with the south while Ordo and the marchwardens are with the empire I believe. With that alone being a gigantic change and I would not recommend Nova because of it. Ordo is safe I personally love the colors and so I picked Ordo, I don’t know all the houses in every guild, but I was a Fletcher which is a house about having a good time and helping others have a good time, if you want more role play you should join the Bellus Aurora at Bicolline which is more focused on interpersonal roleplay and they get together a lot for events! There there is a singing guild and combat guild, it’s really up to you what you like most about LARP or what experience you want while at Bicolline! I hope that helps. (:
@@wolf.maiden thank you!
I had a question which had been bugging me that i wanna ask, can you like live there or can you only go there like during certain events or? Its ok if you dont have an answer to that question..but i just wanna ask cause it was bugging me..
No problem! Questions are good (: I believe they have a schedule for owners of building for times they can actually just vacation on site as well as being able to use them at most if not all the events!
@@wolf.maiden oh, ok. Thanks for the answer.
Can you bring your own food/drinks & camping equipment like a tent ?
Yes you can! Not with the voyage north they have packages only for using their tents and getting in their meal plan which is also why it costs so much with them. However most people camp in their tents and bring their own food outside of the voyage north. (:
How are you filming and taking photos? I thought modern gear was not allowed.
This was all before game, so it was all fine. Though to be honest a lot of people filmed during game, some disguised their equipment and some didn’t. I think people were even just bringing their phones out to take pictures in game blatantly it was a point of controversy this year.
@@wolf.maiden Yeah I can see that. I would find out disrespectful if anyone brought out a camera or phone there
How budget breaking is this?
It depends on how you get there but it’s pretty expensive, with the voyage north you’re looking at well over a grand to just go, not to mention any clothes you need to buy for the trip etc. There’s other ways to go if you can drive and bring your tent though, and that’s significantly less but you’d have to figure out food and things yourself. It’s definitely expensive I can’t really go back anytime soon but it was a great experience.
