“There is no place where finding one’s position in society is quite so difficult as one’s home. When we were young our futures seemed so clear and crisp, like a fresh autumn morning. But now it turns out that in family, duty, and the heart, little proceeds as expected.”

The year is 1810. The place, the country town of Habershire, but three days ride from London. The sun blossoms as the last of spring ends, and those who seasoned in London return. As old friends and rivals gather again in the same place, a new tension pervades our town. The balance of this town is changing, and duty, position, and family will change with it. Now is the time to act upon your dreams, obligations and desires before you find the town has shifted without you.

Good Society is a Regency larp by the creators of the award-winning Good Society RPG. This game inspired by Jane Austen’s literary works is set in a country town full of family tension, unspoken romantic longing, and possible impropriety. It features characters of all ages, and revolves around familial pressure, scandal, and class.

You might enjoy this game if you are a fan of Jane Austen, literary romance, or period dramas. The setting is within a historical and literature tradition, but no prior knowledge of Austen’s works is necessary to play. Continue reading “Larp House Presents: Good Society”

City of Fire and Coin is a Swords and Sorcery genre larp in which players have a lot of agency. As a result, this larp isn’t a win or lose type of game; sometimes telling a great story involves characters who make decisions that are ultimately against their best interests!
There are 12 player slots at this larp available on a first-come first-served basis. We’d like you to RSVP early. Because we are serious about our claim that you will have a lot of agency, once you have RSVP’d we’ll help you make a character and we will fold that character into our preparations. Please claim your slot ASAP by messaging us directly.

EDIT: All slots claimed, LARP IS FULL.

Costuming is encouraged for City of Fire and Coin. Based on the Quickstart RPG of the same name by Epidiah Ravachol. Information about the first run of the larp can be found here.
