		FASE 3    For the first time ever, this year Fase-3 will be present at not only the Elf Fantasy Fair in Haarzuilens, but also at the Elf Fantasy Fair in Arcen. Fase-3 is a post apocalyptic, science fiction horror-themed Live Action Roleplaying game. The setting is the year 2703, New Earth. The world is one reigned over with an iron fist by an entity known as the “Government”. In a last ditch effort to ‘save’ mankind, the Government commenced with extensive and horrific biological experimentation, which left the world of New Earth flooded with zombies, mutants and innumerable other monstrosities. The only ones rising up against the might of the Government are the Rebels, forming an opposition from the Wastelands.

The Chronotron, an artefact capable of altering the fabric of time itself, has torn a rip in the space time continuum between Elfia and New Earth. The result: A portal under constant watch by the Rebels. Unfortunately, a group of monstrous creatures have managed to slip through the portal… into the world of Elfia. A caravan of Rebels have followed suit, aiming to hunt the creatures down and banish them from the realm of Elfia. All the time leaving members hard at work to find a way to close the portal before it’s too late and Elfia is flooded with the teeming masses of monstrosities populating the world of New Earth. A large concentration of zombies, however, have forced the caravan to move to a new location, where they hope to find a way to stop the zombie onslaught and gain further information on closing the tear in space and time linking Elfia and New Earth.
Fase-3 was born in an attic, conceptualized as a tabletop roleplaying game. One day, founder Wijbe van de Meent decided it was time to bring the concept into existence. He asked Bjorn Ongering to help him set up the idea as a Live Action Roleplaying event. The first ever event was set up in 2005, and ever since at least one or two adventures take place in New Earth every year. Fase-3 is kept alive by a combination of hard work by volunteers and the organisation through a tight group of friends. Their support and efforts help bring New Earth to life, time and time again.
