Larp House Presents: Sign

Larp House Presents: SIGN

A silent game for 3-6+ players in 2 hours.

Nicaragua in the 1970s had no form of sign language. If you were deaf, you had simple gestures with a trusted few, likely nothing more than a form of pantomime you negotiated with your family to meet basic needs. In 1977, something happened. Fifty deaf children from across the country were brought together to an experimental school in Managua. Without a shared language to express themselves, the children did the only thing they could – they created one. In Sign, we follow a small piece of their journey.

Nonsuch Island, Bermuda 1934 –You’ve come to this paradise to drop a two and a half ton iron ball off the side of a shop and lower it almost a kilometer into the abyss.
You’ve come to crawl inside that iron ball and go down with it, to what there is to see down there.
You’ve come with three other brilliant adventurers, friends and lovers, and you’ll all get a chance to descend and risk your lives in exchange for seeing things no human being has ever seen.
And maybe. in the inky darkness and cold silence, you’ll find a measure of happiness and fulfillment.

Larp House Presents: Walk Among the Dead

Seekers of the departed, welcome. We have come together
because each of us has one we have lost. We have formed this secret
grief support group, rejected the 5 stages, and now seek to reach beyond
the veil and contact those lost to us.

This
mask is our key to the shadowlands. We can give each other strength for
the way and solace when we return, but whoever goes must go alone. Going
in, we have only so much breath to pay the ghosts for answers. Each of
us searches for resolution, we may be fortunate to find it, escape with
only our life, or become lost ourselves.

WHAT:A freeform larp for 5-6 players

Written by Johannes Oppermann

Larp House Presents: Contrapposto

Players take on the roles of a team of amateur thieves hired to obtain a work of art. All players work together to identify which piece of art they’re after and plan how to steal it while balancing the team’s humorous assortment of skills & hangups.

In about an hour and a half, the team will case the joint, plan their caper & try to convince each other that this will work. And if the group can tolerate each other long enough to complete their scheme, it just might!

Contrapposto is part improv comedy and part exercise in teamwork, with a healthy respect for art & museums thrown in. Don’t worry: no actual laws will be broken while playing! It is a fun way to visit an art museum with a group of new friends.

WHAT:A freeform larp for 2-5 players. Written by Andrew Larimer and organized by Jon Cole
