"Death and the Dreamers", a 1920's Lovecraftian gangster larp, will be
running at kapCon this year, on the evening of Saturday 18 January, from
8:30pm. The casting form is here: https://forms.gle/FPo9VAbcS3JjvuYR7

Ordo City, 1925

Beneath the floors of the magnificent MacAllister Hotel, you'll find the
Dreamer’s Club, a speakeasy frequented by the city's most interesting
figures. It's a place where authors, performers, and even the law's
undesirables can rub shoulders and enjoy a drink while watching the
latest in world-class mind-boggling entertainment. You don't need to
believe in "magic" or "ghosts" to be awed by these unbelievable acts!

Tonight should be like any other night. Unfortunately, someone is going
to get murdered.

Will you be the one to drag the truth into the light? Or, perhaps, will
your focus be elsewhere, busy with far grander mysteries? Just don't ask
too many questions about the mysterious figures that keep the club
running...

It's time for the dreamers to wake up.

"Death and the Dreamers" is an interactive live-action murder mystery
game where you'll be given a prewritten character and can then play out
the events of the evening as you see fit. Set in the fictional Ordo
City, this game covers a variety of 1920s tropes, from gangsters and
rum-runners to ghosts and Lovecraftian horrors.

You will need to sign up for KapCon as well. There are other larps
running over the weekend ("Welcome the Stranger" on Saturday afternoon,
a double feature of "Giant Crab Monster" and "Reviewing Stand" on
Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon, and "It Ain't Easy Being Gilled"
on Sunday morning), so there's plenty of other stuff to do. Details here:
