Event Signup: LARP: The Bell

You wake up with your memories fracturing around you. You're going somewhere, and there's something wrong, and you know these people here with you, or maybe you only think you do. All you really know for sure is that you can hear this Bell.

The Bell is a science fiction suspense live roleplaying game inspired by The Fountain (Darren Aronofsky), Five-Twelfths of Heaven (Melissa Scott), Vacuum Flowers (Michael Swanwick), and the works of Cordwainer Smith. The Bell is intended to be an emotionally intense game that pushes moral dilemmas. It also draws on a trope of science fiction which treats space travel as a spiritual and philosophical journey. While it doesn't make assertions about any particular religion, it does examine metaphysical themes and ethical issues. It can take people with a range of larping experiences, although we recommend it more for people with a mature outlook on life who are OK with being proactive in the game.

Costume requirements: comfortable plain black clothing. There will be some points where people are expected to lie down on the floor (on carpet). You'll choose your character in the briefing phase of the game.

Please provide your name and email address in the notes field, along with an indication of what previous roleplaying experience you've had, if any (including larping, tabletop, computer gaming, etc).

Time: 10pm Saturday
Duration: 2.0 hours

NB please do ensure that you turn up if you sign up for this event; otherwise, at best, other people who could have participated will miss out unnecessarily, and at worst the event will not be able to go ahead.
