letterbladeIIIIT'S LARP PIMPING TIME!!
So y'all may have heard about this already, but the lovely![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nyren and his associates have organized a weekend of FREE LARPing at WPI in Worcester. It's November 19th to 21st, and did I mention that it's FREE?
mllelaurel and I are running two games there, back to back, on Saturday. First, from noon to 1 pm, we have...
There's a neighborhood where the police don't go. Where gunshots sometimes ring in the streets. No, it ain't some run-down ghetto or nest of teenaged gangsters. It's a little winding suburban development, lawns and shrubbery, arbors and porches, with the soft meows echoing from that crazy cat lady down the street. But it's also a place full of old folks, and they're old folks that didn't go down easy. No nursing homes for them. Independent living for men and women old enough that they've paid all their dues and no longer give a damn about what other people think. And, one and all, they're armed and dangerous...
The All Crotchety Old Folks With Shotguns Game: does exactly what it says on the tin!
This is a brand-new game! World premiere! Game hasn't even been written yet. Will probably be written a week before the con while we're drunk, because this is exactly the kind of game that you can do that with. Crack!
Then, after lunch to sober up, from 2 pm to 6 pm...
In the distant, shadowy past of myths and legends, deep in a lonely mountainous forest, where magic still pulses and saber-tooth tigers still roam the land, lives a small, isolated tribe of hunters and warriors, reclusive folk with strange ways and powerful gods. It is a full moon night, when the tribe holds council, and there is a full feast of argument and debate to come. The medicine woman has yet to choose a successor; the chief has taken a questionable lover. And four foreigners, strange outsiders, have taken sanctuary with the tribe, lived among them, and there are many who rankle at the thought.
Time for secrets to be spoken and paths to be decided. Will the outsiders stay past the dawn? Who will lead the tribe and keep its traditions? It is council night, the time of voices and change and strange, little-told tales, and as these passionate people struggle for unity, their hidden wood will ring with the sound of drums...
The Sound of Drums is a character-driven game for eighteen to twenty-four players, full of passion, politics, drumming, and storytelling. Players are encouraged to bring hand drums or other primitive percussion instruments, and/or play if instruments are available, but it is not a requirement for anybody, and no musical ability is necessary to enjoy this game. This game contains pervasive themes of bisexuality and polyamory, and is recommended for mature players.
This will be the second run of The Sound of Drums, which premiered to rave reviews at the most recent Intercon. Seriously, we heard multiple "best game of the con" from people, partially due to the fantastic energy our players had. It'll be interesting to see how the second run goes!
Sign-ups open at 7 pm tonight. Hard to tell how fast these games will fill up, so you might want to hop to it. And did I mention that they're FREE?
