“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.

What

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”

Salon du Larp House: Glamourous Night playtest

enchanted forest

Wizards, humans, magical creatures, and faeries attend a mundane community’s summer solstice festival. Magic is in the air, voices are stilled, and dreams can come true at a cost. Tonight shifting auras will grant attendees terrifying mystical power to pursue their desires. How far will you go to get what you want? When you are all-powerful, what is actually important to you?

What

Glamourous Night is a larp about faerie magic and wizards’ hubris for 15-25 players. It is an abstract and musical experience exploring the themes of temptation and choice. This event is a playtest for an unfinished larp designed by Jon Cole.

In Glamourous Night, players use two movement techniques to perform ensorcelling magic as their characters. Characters will experience joyful exploration and tempting darkness as they share, subjugate, and are subjugated.

When

Sunday September 1st, 2019, from 1:30 to 6 pm

Background

This is an alpha playtest of a larp. Glamourous Night isn’t finished, and this will be one of the first times it is played. There might be big holes missing or rough patches in play. If this larp sounds interesting to you even though it may not be a coherent start to finish narrative experience, we will be very glad to have you join us!

Larp House Presents: The Hirelings

"Five Soliders and a Turk on Horseback" by Albrecht Dürer

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.

What

The Hirelings, a live-action fantasy comedy role-playing game for three to ten players (The more the merrier!)

Designed by Håken Lid and Ole Peder Giæver.
Organized by Shawn Stokes

When

Sunday, 9 June 2019 from 3 pm to 6 pm

Larp House Presents: Sea Dracula

Animal City is a magical town full of hardworking talking animals with crazy names and silly opinions. The city is famous for its nonsensical legal system, where the lawyers are responsible not just for prosecuting cases but also for fighting monsters and throwing parties. This was the legendary legal system pioneered by that great giraffe lawyer, Sea Dracula. The proud traditions of the Animal City legal system have been handed down from generation to generation, slowly losing their meaning and becoming strange and obscure.

Don’t mistake the ways of this legal system for those of your own! The lawyers of Animal City strive only to win! All other considerations, even the welfare of their clients and the sanctity of the law, are secondary. They dance the dance of the animal lawyers, and mere mortals such as us can only stand back and watch in awe and terror!
