Seriously though, we are committed to building a diverse community of badass larpers.
Pushing the Boundaries of Larp in Brazil
Influenced by Jeepform, Nordic Larp, and and otherblackbox traditions, the game makes heavy use of metatechniques and is one of the first Brazilian larps (that we know of) in this style.
Great review of Brazil’s larp scene through the lens of one larp about gangsters.

Larp House Presents: LarpJam
LarpJam, a workshop where participants will create their very own larps in a round-robin format. In a matter of hours people with no larp design experience can create awesome, fully-playable larps or the seeds that future larps can spring from! This process folds creative invocation, constructive constraints, and peer feedback into one lightning-fast process.
This event is being put together outrageously last minute because the Larp House was specially invited to participate in
Golden Cobra, a new freeform design competition that concludes October 30th. Seriously, Whitney Beltrán and Jason Morningstar wrote us personally to ask Larp House people to submit. Even if you can’t attend this Larpjam, you are encouraged to design something for Golden Cobra!

Larp House Presents: Service
Service is a freeform larp about residents of the United States called up for military service during a brutal war.Each player takes on the role of a citizen who has been torn out of their everyday life and brought to the Orientation Center for deployment to basic training. Everything they own has been removed from them as they are about to embark on the transformational experience of becoming a soldier.
Service is game about saying goodbye to the life you’ve known, about patriotism versus the reality of war, and issues of personal versus societal responsibility.
