The Great Exhibition
Sunday 10th July
12:30pm to 4:30pm
Crupper House, MOTAT
Background
The year is 1851 and Prince Albert has sponsored the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations in Hyde Park London, in the specially erected Crystal Palace. Exhibits have come, not only from throughout Britain, but also its expanding imperial colonies, such as Australia, India and New Zealand, and other foreign countries such as Denmark, France and Switzerland.
It is the eve of the official opening and a grand gala is being held. While the huddled masses crouch outside the great palace those with enough money or the right connections will be there to get an advance viewing of the exhibits before the peasants are allowed in tomorrow. It is a great opportunity to see who is who in Victorian society, to see and be seen, and to network with other like folk of similar class.
Registering
This game is being run with the intention of recruiting those who are completely or very new to larp. Therefore, at this stage, there are 40 spaces reserved for new people, and 30 spaces available to experienced larpers. Experienced larpers who wish to regiser are asked to play with the newbies’ enjoyment in mind, and to play with the intention of making their game fun, comfortable and memorable.
The game masters are using a character questionnaire to cast this time, and this can be foundonline here.
If you have friends or acquiantances who have been interested in trying larp but haven’t quite managed to, this is a great event to invite them along to. Send them to our public website, which covers the basics of larping as well. nzlarps.org/games/greatexhibition/
