+ | In 1328, some of the greatest leaders of the Middle Ages have gathered in Navarre. With King Charles I of Navarre recently deceased, and Papal Inquisitions ever a threat, the negotiating and backstabbing here will set the course for the fate of Europe. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Kingdoms of France and Navarre have been closely aligned since the late 13th century, but with the French monarchy plagued by affairs and scandals, will Joanna I, daughter of the King of France, break ties with her own family to secure her claim to the crown of Navarre? | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the Kingdom of England, it has been almost two years since the notoriously terrible ruler King Edward II was deposed by his wife then made to sit trial and judged guilty of incompetence (among many other charges). Presumed assassinated, his reunion with his son King Edward III will be a shock. | ||
+ | |||
+ | On the religion scene, an Antipope has risen in the Vatican due to the backlash against some of the current Pope's controversial religious teachings and his radical tolerance of Jews and Muslims in Catholic territories in a time when everyone expects the Spanish Inquisition. | ||
− | + | But how much do your political treaties, schemes, and machinations even really matter when the Mongols are invading and laying waste to Europe? | |
− | + | This game features real historical characters and political issues in 1328 but no prior knowledge of history is required to enjoy playing. | |

Game will involve about a third of the characters dying, beginning about halfway into game, with musical chairs being used as a mechanic to determine which characters will die (players of dead characters are welcome to remain to observe game OOC). Game is vaguely Nordic- esque in style, with no plot and revolving around the characters simply talking about their relationships, past, and feelings. 18+ or with permission. | Game will involve about a third of the characters dying, beginning about halfway into game, with musical chairs being used as a mechanic to determine which characters will die (players of dead characters are welcome to remain to observe game OOC).

Welcome to "Murder on the Starlight Express", a six hour, experimental [for its time] murder mystery assassin game. You can be one of ten crewmen trapped onboard the Freighter Gabriel, on course from Ceti Alpha 6 to Epsilon Eridani 4, with a murderer (or two) trapped on board. It's the classic whodonit, but in assassin style, where the criminals can shoot back, and maybe even shoot first. | Welcome to "Murder on the Starlight Express", a six hour, experimental [for its time] murder mystery assassin game.

− | + | I Say a Little Prayer follows the lives of 5 young gay men during the early years of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s. We will play out their sexual and romantic adventures as well as the story of how their friendship evolves over the course of several years in a community hard hit by the epidemic. Through the lottery of death mechanic we find out who of these friends will die before the story is over and how this shapes the lives of the survivors who live on. This is a respectful and intimate LARP for those who enjoy playing stories about many-faceted relationships between people and would like to play out emotional storylines in a fearless way. Players of any gender identity can play the LARP irrespective of all the characters in the LARP being men. Players whose characters die will still be involved with the LARP for the remaining run time through meta-techniques. | |
