The upcoming Day of Games doesn’t have anything booked for the evening, so I thought I’d re-run Serpent of Ash if there is any interest. The previous run, back in February, was a lot of fun for all.
What: A LARP by J. Tuomas Harviainen and Eric Johnson, stolen from the LARPA Gamebank:
For a few years in the early 21st century, “The Liberated” was an active religious sect in the Boston area. It’s leader was Timothy Barke, who claimed that God spoke directly to him. Members lived in a communal house, donated their income to the sect, and lived by a strict code of conduct so that they could receive Timothy’s sermons. In 2002 Timothy passed away, and soon after The Liberated collapsed. Members went back into the real world and tried to lead normal lives; communication between them all but ceased. Now, five years later, several of them have gathered together for a few hours to discuss how The Liberated affected their lives. A Serpent of Ash is a larp about the dark side of religion: What happens when former cult members meet again? What has been left unsaid? A discourse-oriented game for 6-12 players that has been run at major conventions in Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Italy and the United Kingdom.
When: Saturday, May 16th, starting at 19:30. The game should take around 2 hours.
Where: Turnbull House. We’ll probably use the Small Gallery, though if other people are also gaming, we may move upstairs to provide some distance.
How much: Day of Games costs $10.
