Saturday December 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, December 6 from 1-2:30, we'll be playing Gods of Nothings by Shing Yin Khor, a game about insignificant gods trying to solve minor problems for mortal supplicants. In this game, 4-8 players will become an assembly of small and insignificant gods doing their best to help people. You'll come up with their domain (like worker ants, exhalations, or sea urchins, for instance) and try to figure out how to use your powers to address problems completely unrelated to them. There is also a crafting component to this LARP, as you'll make and alter a mask to hide your god's identity over the course of the game.
