Larp House Presents: The Hirelings
In a world of perilous adventure and dark dungeons filled with precious riches, one group of aspiring adventurers are having their first day in a new job, and it’s not quite working out as planned.
The Hirelings is a role-playing game in which you play out the preparations and the aftermath of a failed dungeon crawl.
It draws heavily upon clichés from fantasy role playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons, video games, comics, and fantasy literature. In addition there are also elements from modern life, like job interviews, group therapy, sports, and team building. The characters in the game are all novice adventurers, who are preparing to head out on their first real quest.

Larp House Presents: The Homeowners Association
UPDATE: This event has been re-scheduled to May 22. Registration is live!
“I think it is about time something was done about the filthy road signs in the neighborhood. I think it’s a bloody disgrace.”
“One might say that one should leave such things to the proper authorities since they have the responsibility.”
“You could pay some of the adorable children from the neighborhood to sweep the area with a nice bucket of soapy water and a sponge; then you would have it fixed in a jiffy.”
“We will get to all that later, surely, but first we have some more important things to discuss.”
The Homeowners Association is at once a humorous caricature of those embroiled in a petty bid for power and a personal drama in which those same people struggle with the demands of their personal lives.
Each board member is defined by their particular manner of phrasing and use of body language, which makes them look rather ridiculous to one another, especially in the board meetings where tempers run high. What begins as a mutual attempt by the board members to desperately try to impose their will on the board meetings and by extension their neighborhood becomes something different as they get to know each other outside of board meetings. What will happen to all of their plans, ideals, and conflicts when they suddenly know their opponents on a personal level?
What
The Homeowners Association is a comedic live-action scenario about low-stakes high-drama arguments for four players.
