Introduction to Live Action Role Play - One Small Step

Saturday September 6 * 1pm * Free / donations * REGISTER

Are you interested in any of the following: theater, building community, making new friends, board games, tabletop role playing games, improvisation, and/or trying new things? Then you would probably enjoy Live Action Role Play (or LARP)! LARP is an umbrella term for games where you physically embody a character using a huge variety of rules, props, locations, and participants. LARPs can go from as few as 2 to as many as 100s of people, and explore stories ranging from the silly and fluffy to the dark and tragic, but for now we'll be exploring some entry-level LARPs that are great for new players.

On Saturday, September 6 from 1-2:30 pm, we'll be exploring our exploration of the moon (and why we don't go back there anymore). 2-9 players will collectively develop a documentary about fictional attempts to go to the moon, examining both the stated and underlying reasons for why we went there and subsequently stopped going. Take on the role of a former astronaut and spill your guts (or don't) about what really went on out there in space. The tone for this game can vary widely from farce to tragedy, so come prepared for anything!
