Introduction to Immersive Theatre/American Freeform/ Parlor LARP
Immersive theatre is very informed by Storygaming, where the focus of playing is telling as good a story as possible. In the case of The Dandelion Factory, the story will come into being most notably through worldbuilding. Parlor LARP is improv heavy, often focusing on the interrelations of the characters involved. The relationships may be positive or negative but the characters in The Dandelion Factory all have history, so play to that. It is recommended that all players play with genuine interest in the other characters and look for opportunity to pull in other characters to the discussion, which can be achieved by asking for perspective, reminders of previous projects, or other ways to shine the spotlight on other players. Look to construct the world with other players and springboard off of the ideas of others.

The Dandelion Factory

The Dandelion Factory is the hub of all wish fulfillment. The stakes are quite high for the dandelion fairies who work there as hopes and dreams are their stock and trade, so they have incorporated in order to maximize fulfillment. Between the constant backlog and contradictory wishes, not all can be fulfilled but that is part of the job, maximization of happiness. The work is stressful but very fulfilling. There has been a publicly known global crisis so between the astronomical increase in global wishes, the hardest to fulfill, and other issues that arise from simply running a business, the department heads have been called together to address the problems and attempt to find solutions, or at least define the policy on how to address the issues moving forward.
The Dandelion Factory is an absurdist game, stemming from the serious nature of discussion on things we typically take flippantly. The more seriously players take their job, the better the play. Costume is recommended, in cream and beige business attire or of the most rediclous fashions.
The details for how wishes are fulfilled is left to the collective imagination of the participants. These things are known. Wish fulfillment should not leave a major imprint on the world. Delicacy is key. Global wishes, because they affect so many people, are the hardest to fulfill for this reason. Overall, fewer global wishes get fulfilled than any other category. There are no official quotas but the stakes are people’s hopes and dreams so there is a pressure to fulfill as many wishes as possible.
