Introduction to Live Action Role Play - The Hench Union LARP

Sunday July 20 * 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, July 20 from 1-2:30 pm it's time to unionize! Specifically, the henchfolk of renowned supervillain Professor Von Doctor are sitting down at the table with the Professor themselves to hash out issues surrounding wages, uniforms, a superhero bounty system, and parking. This is a comedy LARP for 4-8 players about dealing with a less-than-ideal work environment and also superheroes. Think Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, Mystery Men, and Star Trek Lower Decks for tone comparisons.
