The larp is 26 characters and the blurb is:
Ring-a-Ring-a-Roses
Or, Her Majesty’s Plague Council
In an alternate - steampunk - futre, the home isles of the British Empire are being ravaged by a swift and devastating plague. Two weeks ago, fears that it would reach London were confirmed, and the disease is sweeping through the city, leaving thousands dead in its wake. The plague is painful, its symptoms strange, the contagion unknown and survivors almost unheard of. Few plague doctors have dared to get close to the infected, and even fewer of those have survived to make report. The British Isles are in an unproar, and Her Majesty is most certainly not amused.
The Mayor of London, at the behest of her Imperial Majesty, has summoned several of the finest doctors and scientist the realm possesses to determine how to stop the spread of infection. To the Mayor’s dismay, the Queen’s unusual advisor has invited some stranger guests to the Mayor’s council – explorers, military generals, an East End witch, a plague survivor, an airship engineer, the Queen’s youngest son himself, and others. Locked down in a quarantine amidst plague-wracked London, this strange assortment of her Majesty’s subjects is tasked with finding out where the plague came from - and more importantly, how to stop it in its tracks.
Ring-a-Ring-a-Roses is a steampunk mystery inspired in part by House, for approximately 26 players.
