Nyren
The WPI SFS will be hosting SFS Live Action Weekend (SLAW) this
November on the weekend of the 19th to 21st on the WPI campus in
scenic Worcester, MA. The event consists of a series of short (1-4
hour) theatrical live action roleplaying games of varying style,
flair, and genre.
The website for this event is: http://slaw.wedgegaming.com. The game
schedule is up on the site, but game signups do not open until
tomorrow (Thursday, October 14th) at 7pm. Crash space can be provided
if necessary - there will be a place to sign up for it on the schedule
when signups open.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with theatrical live action
roleplaying games, they lie somewhere on that overly specific spectrum
between audience-less Improv sketches and those games of D&D where
people talk more than they roll dice. In the game, you will be playing
out a specific role in a specific situation, but how it plays out is
entirely up to you. Before the game, you will be given a character
sheet detailing the character you are playing. These often tell you
things like, who you are, who you know, what you know, what you can
do, and what you want to do. No acting or roleplaying experience is
required or needed for these games, just an interest in having fun :)
The games are all in different styles (serious, silly, bizarre, and so
on) and different genres (sci-fi, fantasy, dinner party, mystery,
parody, musical, and so on), and we try to make sure there's something
for everyone. Costuming is encouraged but by no means required.
For those of you who ARE familiar with theatrical live action
roleplaying games, uhh, there will be games! Yay!
On that note, we are (surprisingly) still possibly accepting game bids
for SLAW. We should have enough games, but we may be able to fit more
in. If you are really interested in running something, please send an
email to nyr...@gmail.com.
If you have any questions regarding the event, please email me (not
the entire list), and I'll do my best to answer them!
