LARPS
These are the LARPS I have run. Please note that the event descriptions are VERY open-ended. This is so the LARPS can be used multiple times, with changes to the plot each time.
BESM LARP version 1.1 (ConBust, 2004)
At a convention, it’s not
unusual to see someone dressed up as a wondering swordsman or a magical girl.
It’s not all that unusual to hear someone wandering around dressed as a famous
anime character, claiming to be after a powerful artifact. But what if that
sword wasn’t just part of the costume? And what if that artifact happened to be
real?
Several anime characters have arrived at the convention, where an item of importance is said to be revealed on Sunday morning. It’s Saturday night, and the convention hall is empty with the exception of the group of people playing Diplomacy, and the janitor, everyone has gone home. Now is the time to get what you came here for. . .but nothing in anime is EVER as simple as it seems....
In this LARP, Anime stereotypes will collide, because this time of the people assumed to be cos-players or gaming fanatics are in fact Anime characters of various archetypes! So just what
happens when the magical girl and the telekinetic child meet? You will decide.
Final Fantasy VII: ShinRa LARP (ConBust, 2005)
ShinRa has released a notice
that it is looking to hire an additional Executive to the Board. Due to the
current Wutai conflict, some of the usual procedures for choosing an Exec have
been waived. You have all been picked by the (highly overworked) Director of
Human Resources. Prove to her that you have what it takes to be a ShinRa
Executive, and you will be on your way to the top! Of course, as ShinRa IS an
evil corporation, you don’t necessarily have to get ahead by impressing your
superiors; how you get ahead is up to you.
In this LARP, you will be part of the corporation from Final Fantasy VII, ShinRa. The setting is during the Wutai conflict, before the events of FFVII. Being familiar with FFVII helps in this LARP, but it is not required. (In fact, when I ran this, someone who had never played the game won!). This is your chance to become a part of the Board of Executives. Do you have the wits/guts/brown-nosing/back-stabbing abilities to get to the top?
ShinRA LARP Characters and Rules
Super High School LARP (ConBust, 2006)
Medicoreville High School seems like any other high school - rivalry between the popular jocks and the academic nerds, the occasional detention, the local stoner - but it has a secret. Every one who goes there has superpowers!
Every year, the Class President helps lead his/her fellow students, as well as receiving special training from the Principal. It’s three days before next year’s Class President is elected, and the unthinkable has happened: the current Class President has turned against the Principal! Now, thanks to a poisoned cup of tea, the principal is in the hospital, and the Class President is under house arrest for attempted murder! As the current Junior Class, it’s up to you to find out what really happened, clear the President’s name (or condemn it!), and get enough people on your side so someone from your faction is elected the next Class President. Oh, yeah, and there’s a biology final exam coming up, too. . .
In this LARP, you get to play as a teenager with super powers, going to a high school for students with super powers. Impress your peers, solve a mystery, and even possibly become the next Class President!
Note that in this game, the characters (with related special skills) and super powers come separate. Each player will select a character to play, but ALL POWERS ARE AT RANDOM.
This makes it more fun. ^_^
