NERO® International Welcomes NERO® Toronto

White Plains, NY -- April 16, 2003 -- Today NERO® International proudly announced the opening of a new NERO® chapter in Toronto, Canada.

Founded in 1988, NERO ®, is currently the largest and most progressive Live Action Role-Playing Company in North America and Canada. Presently, NEROs membership base, nation wide, comprises of more than eight thousand people. Players from all areas within the U.S. and Canada take part in role-playing their characters utilizing the identical rule system, in any Licensed NERO chapter to which they travel. Our licensing system is built on the premise that the Corporation can be successful only if our franchisees are successful first. We believe in a partnering relationship with our owner/operators, suppliers and customers. Success for NERO® International flows from the success of its business partners.

NERO® Toronto is NERO's second Canadian chapter, and it will be led by Kevin Tjia. Kevin has 19 years of experience in RPGs and 6 years experience LARPing. He has 2 years experience running a LARP/NERO, and we believe he is more than qualified. Kevin and his staff are looking forward to bringing Fairytales and Adventure to life through the services offered in their chapter, based on the rules and guidelines set forth by NERO® International. Players at NERO® Toronto can expect the highest level of costuming, roleplay, story lines and professionalism from the NERO® Toronto staff. Come live the Adventure........Epic Villains, Epic Heroes!!

NERO® Toronto will be holding events Enniskillen, approximately 40 minutes east of Toronto.
The next event is scheduled for April 26 - 27, 2003.
