Introduction to Live Action Role Play - Unheroes

Saturday January 11 * 1pm * Free / donations * REGISTER

Are you interested in any of the following: theater, building community, making new friends, board games, tabletop role playing games, improvisation, and/or trying new things? Then you would probably enjoy Live Action Role Play (or LARP)! LARP is an umbrella term for games where you physically embody a character using a huge variety of rules, props, locations, and participants. LARPs can go from as few as 2 to as many as 100s of people, and explore stories ranging from the silly and fluffy to the dark and tragic, but for now we'll be exploring some entry-level LARPS that are great for new players.

For example, this Saturday, January 11, at 1 pm we will be playing Unheroes by Joanna Piancastelli. This simple 2-hour game for 3-9 people is about a group of superheroes who, after failing to save the world, transported themselves into our world and lost their memories and powers in the process. Over the course of play we will slowly recover our memories and powers and eventually answer the question: will we stay in this reality or return to our own?

This is a ticketed event (due to the limited number of spaces), but tickets are free with a suggested donation to Rhizome. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the facilitator, Nico, at jntm42@gmail.com.
