Chimera is a larp convention in New Zealand. It runs every August in Auckland, NZ, offering games in a variety of different styles. The lineup is mostly theatre-style, but there are a large number of outdoor live-combat games as well. Originally Chimera ran a single flagship-scale game on the Saturday night, but as numbers grew it has been forced to offer multiple flagships.
Chimera is supported by NZLARPS.
