What are you running at Hydra this year (2021)?

Wellington Hydra
#1

Now that Hydra is officially on for June 4 - 6, what are people going to run?

My first game will be The Gehenna Memo (my WWII laundry / Bletchley Park game, with codebreaking and a pile of classified documents) which I’ve been trying to get a Wellington run of for years. its been cancelled once by low numbers, then by a pandemic. Will this be third time lucky?

For a second game, I’m considering Moon, which is a Czech larp (from the Check Larps book even) set in Firefly’s 'verse. Alternatively I could re-run Property & Propriety for @Evie, but it might be better to do that standalone.

(Also, if anyone wants to GM, I have games, lots of games, just sitting in a pile…)

Stand alone, so I have the energy to do it justice. Regency-ing is weirdly draining?? :wink:

I’m thinking of running Fate and Fatality. Elevator pitch: Wuthering Heights meets the Addams family

I’ll be running The Star of Bethlem, the LARP version of C.S. Lewis’s argument that Jesus Christ was either a liar, a madman or the Messiah.

That’s quite an intriguing premise you’ve got there…

I’m making a last-ditch attempt at getting my zombie survival game off the ground. I need one more GM to be able to run this. So if wrangling zombie crew for a few hours (at night) sounds like fun to you I’d really like to hear from you! Scott Kelly will help out on the player (survivor) side, I’ll be the go-between for everything.

I can provide a blurb, some notes on plot and some other behind-the-scenes documentation. But it’s basically going to be a freeform boffer larp with some fairly strict combat rules.

Wait, so this isn’t actually about disco? The setting for the game sounds kindof cool…

Having spent some time reviewing games, I’ve decided to offer Seat Five as a Sunday game. Its about hyper-local (and probably personal) politics, as four candidates wait together to hear the results of the Walnut Hill special election. Its 90 minutes, so perfect for a Sunday slot.

And if anyone wants to GM, but is wondering what to run, your regular reminder that I have a vast collection of prewritten games from various sources which I can supply. Here’s the list that I’ve bothered to write down:

(Note that this is incomplete. Notably, it doesn’t include much from the hardcopy books of larps I’ve acquired, and I have a bad habit of downloading things, looking at them, and forgetting to add them to the list. I turned up a few interesting ones just today by going through my hard drive…)
