Date: Saturday, April 10, 2027

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

Location: Brooklyn, NY in a private, indoor, wheelchair-accessible loft space

Age requirements: 21+

Lodging: Tickets do not include lodging, but we will try to see if we can get a room block at a nearby hotel.

Food: Dinner will be provided between workshops and the start of game.

Ticketing and admission: 

Applications will be open through June 15th.

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, though elements of it will be playtested before this event.

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

• 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
