It's the 1930s, and you are a guest aboard the airship Hindenberg, the largest aircraft to ever fly. For the airship's premiere flight from New York a special charity gala is being hosted to raise money for local shelters and soup kitchens. Expect gangsters, dashing heroes, Nazis, glamorous stars and much, much more!
The Flight of the Hindenburg accomodates up to 65 players, and will run on the Saturday night of Chimera as the centrepiece.
Tryst juxtaposes the reality of mundane life with supernatural surrealism, highlighting the magic of the everyday world.
Illumination is set in a scout camp, the very one where the convention Chimera takes place. But instead of a larp convention, the characters are attending a Buddhist meditation retreat. Some of the characters are regular retreat visitors, others are visiting to see what their friends and family are so taken with. Some have concerns about the nature of the retreat. Most players will portray a character very much like themselves. Others will portray otherworldly characters, invisible to most people.
Reality has broken. Can it be fixed?
A lighthearted, satirical freeform larp that takes advantages of the convoluted melodrama of the soap opera genre to create a larp that unfolds differently each time it is played.
This game includes innovative game principles from Jeepform.
