Saturday October 18 * 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 October 18 from 1-2:30 pm, we'll be playing the appropriately spooky Fork Creek Almanac by Alex Dodge and Matt Jent, a game about regret, small-town gossip, and the inevitability of death. 2-20 players will take on the role of a ghost in the small Appalachian town of Fork Creek on a night when the veil between worlds wears thin, allowing them to interact with each other and recover lost memories of their lives. The tone is contemplative but not necessarily scary, and we can adjust for any and all player tastes. If you're a fan of the Death Cafes run here at Rhizome, this might be a game that interests you!
