Dates: July 25-26 2026 

Time: Saturday afternoon check-in and workshops, late morning Sunday check-out; gameplay runs from approximately 6pm to midnight

Location: Details to come soon, but expect around 2 hours from NYC, in the Lehigh valley of Pennsylvania.

Age requirements: 21+ due to the presence of alcohol.

Lodging: Dorm-style lodging in shared rooms with private bathrooms. No stairs are required to reach the bedrooms or living areas.

Food: Bring your own or something to share with friends. We’ll have a kitchen and refrigerator.

There is food that’s driving distance, but don’t count on delivery.

Ticketing and admission: 

Ticket cost will be determined based on site costs and will be announced when applications open. We’re aiming to keep tickets as affordable as possible and will have scholarship tickets available- the goal is for nobody to be turned away due to inability to afford a ticket. Ticket pricing will be at-cost, to cover venue fees+paying our staffers and artists.

Applications will be reviewed individually, and participants will be selected based on survey responses and random lottery- applying for a spot does not guarantee you a spot in the LARP.

This is the first playtest of the LARP with the full cast of characters. A two-night run is being planned for 2027, after playtesting is complete.

Costuming: 

• Stola style dresses (or similar) for women and otherwise-feminine characters are encouraged, and are required for female characters of patrician backgrounds and members of the Cult of Liber 

• (a belted bedsheet with a hole for the head can suffice) 

• Togas for men and otherwise-masculine characters are encouraged, and are required for male characters of patrician backgrounds and members of the Cult of Liber 

• Faux furs or ragged animal prints as either an outer layer or under layer for all characters 

• July is hot. Faux fur is hot. Animal print lightweight fabric is fine, worn as a simple wrap skirt or dress 

• Underpants are required (skin tone undergarments encouraged) 

• Accessories include simple gold jewelry for characters of patrician backgrounds, crowns of leaves or flowers, grape motifs on fabric or brooches 

• Some characters will have more specific accessory suggestions 

• Gladiator style sandals or other neutral-toned shoes encouraged if you opt to not participate barefoot, but dress for comfort first and foremost 

• Please bring a small instrument, like a hand-drum, bell, cymbals, lute, lyre, or recorder/flute
