Swords, arrows, and battle cries break in Ballan, as members of Swordcraft clash for Biff Day on Saturday, February 1.

Biff Day is an annual event organised by Swordcraft, the largest live action role playing and battle game in Australia. The event is held in different chapters all over Victoria throughout the year.

Biff Day is a big role playing game where 40 to 60 players fight in a mass combat with Live Action Role Playing weapons like swords, daggers, axes, oriental weapons, maces, shields and hammers made of polyurethane rubber.

Swordcraft events manager Sarah Kelly said Biff Day was a great success.

“Everyone had a fantastic time,” she said.

“We had three battles in the course of the day.”
