Minnesota roleplay collective
LARPSHACK is a group of amazing people interested in playing and promoting live action roleplaying in central North Carolina, with an emphasis on freeform, Nordic-inspired, and short-form parlor larp styles.
This community is being started by friends of Larp House, Kate Hill and Jason Morningstar. If you’re in the area, check ‘em out.
Also, we can’t help but take a little pride in their seemingly derivative name!
Documentation for Villa Air-Bel, a US freeform larp about a group of people in Vichy France helping artists and intellectuals escape fascist occupied Europe.

Marseille, late fall, 1940.
France has been occupied by the Germans and the collaborationist Vichy regime has been allowed to exist in the south. American liberals are stunned at the fall of France and horrified by German (and now French) anti-intellectualism and anti-Semitic brutality. These liberals form the Emergency Rescue Committee hope to spirit away as many European artists and intellectuals as they can manage.
Villa Air-Bel is about documentation, virtue, and desperation. It is a small, intense live action game about staplers and hard choices.
WHAT:A larp playtest for 5 players

WHEN:
7:00 pm — 11pm on Friday, February 19th
LarpJam, a workshop where participants will create their very own larps in a round-robin format. In a matter of hours people with no larp design experience can create awesome, fully-playable larps or the seeds that future larps can spring from! This process folds creative invocation, constructive constraints, and peer feedback into one lightning-fast process.
This event is being put together outrageously last minute because the Larp House was specially invited to participate in
Golden Cobra, a new freeform design competition that concludes October 30th. Seriously, Whitney Beltrán and Jason Morningstar wrote us personally to ask Larp House people to submit. Even if you can’t attend this Larpjam, you are encouraged to design something for Golden Cobra!
