I don’t think this idea has come up yet! It’s an age-old movie or comic book etc concept, where you’re stranded on a desert island with fading hope of rescue. It’s executed nicely in ‘Lost’ the TV series, where there’s more to the Island than what it seems. That concept would make a great LARP.
So here’s my suggestion: the game is set in 1953, well before cellphones or TV or sophisticated search and rescue technology but not before guns, alcohol or life jackets. Travellers aboard a boat headed for Singapore are shipwrecked in a violent storm, and float ashore on mysterious island. It’d be played over one weekend with minimal crew and props, a largely dramatic survival game of character and ingenuity.
Aaand I’m thinking November when it’s starting to get warmer again.
Thoughts?
I’m willing to give this away for someone else to organise, just speak up and we’ll collaborate, then you’ll own the project.
