An Ecumenical Matter

Wellington
#1

A light-hearted theatre-style larp for 15 players, published by Peaky Games. It was loosely inspired by the tv series Father Ted, Nuns on the Run and similarly daft movies about religion. Set in the diocese of Peaky-in-the-Sea (consisting of Rocky Island, Stony Island and Pebbly Island), An Ecumenical Matter is an irreverent religious themed game involving priests, nuns and a geographically dislocated archbishop.

Please note: An Ecumenical Matter is not for the easily offended. It contains drinking, comedy satanists, unfaithful priests, references to unchaste activities, and horrendously bad accents.

Gender mix is 9 male to 6 female, but cross dressing is strongly encouraged.

When: 16 July, arrive 7pm for a 7.30pm start. (Runtime about 2 1/2 hours).
Where: Turnbull House
Where: NZLarps members $10, everyone else $12
Contact: Stephanie Pegg

Keen for any of the nuns of Pebbly Island :slight_smile: If there is actual singing involved, don’t mind being Sister Mary Agnes.

#12

Yes please, Father Francis :slight_smile:

#13

Er… you can’t be Father Francis, he’s dead.

#15

See not thats just fair, picking on him just because he’s dead :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m actually fine with whatever character you give me

Fair enough, like I said, I’m especially either of the other two- but I’ll be happy with whoever you think would suit me best- I trust your judgement :slight_smile:

Right. Now to practice my Irish accent. Feck! Arse! Gobshite!

#19

I think I require watching several hours of Father Ted and maybe a bit of Vicar of Dibly to start to get into character…
