What can I expect from this larp?
​
We aim to provide a unique immersive cyberpunk themed experience where the focus is on personal character stories rather than a globally affecting meta plot. The focus will be very much on the characters around you who will predominantly “player characters” like yourself.
The mechanics have been stripped back, there are no skills to choose or numbers to remember bringing a focus on character decisions and the resulting actions from a story perspective rather than trying to “game the system”.
​
For the most part what you see is what you get, there are some unique mechanical effects which are not covered in the mechanics primer which will be address using laminates (lammies) on some items or on a person’s possession. This will allow for character led investigations and discoveries without the need to interact with the games team, which could lead to constantly dropping out of character to ask questions.
What will happen during the larp?
​
The briefs and allegiances have been set that there will be some potential clashes of ideology, where this goes is up to you. Supplemented and supported by various characters with their own objectives and offers of employment in some there will be plenty to do. Keep your eyes peeled and interact with as many people as possible, do not wait for “monsters” to attack or for your named NPC to arrive. If you do this you will be disappointed.
A collaborative experience.
​
It is important that you read any brief you have been sent plus the mechanics primer and the world book (Personalities and Prophets), this will provide you with enough information for any character.
​
Interacting with the wider world?
​
The intention for events is that the game will take place where it is set in character for the entirety of the game. With the exception of the “flash back” scene’s there will be very few times when your characters leave the area to other locations.
​
All events will have different themes and occurrences. This means some characters will not be available at every event, a corporate board party for example would allow for ganger characters.
​
Whilst these events are not in a traditional campaign style the timeline will remain a constant and there will be a suitable number of events so that you can play the character you love multiple times. Note that you are welcome to attend any event if you are willing to switch to a different character for that one or your character has moved in a suitable direct.
​
The reasoning for this is that we want to explore the setting on different levels interlinking various scenes like in books and films. It will allow you the to play a different style of character each time without penalty or feeling like you are losing out.

We have a dedicated DJ providing background music and in character club music set's where scenes require it. Its provides an epic backdrop to the action taking place in character and the experience would be lessened without it.
