A Football Adjacent LARP for 14-20 players, by Vanessa Phillips and Stephen Kenneally

You’re a millionaire. You worked hard to get where you are today. You’ve even managed to stay a millionaire despite the recent upheavals in the world markets. Well done you, it only goes to show just how savvy you are. You enjoy your cushy lifestyle, usually from the comfort for your yacht. There’s only one small, minor… inconvenience… You’ve agreed to take part in a charity football match. As in, actually play football yourself. You can’t pay someone else to play for you. All your frenemies have also agreed to take part; some fun between friends for a good cause. You could hardly say no.
But…football isn’t really your thing. The thought of actually stepping on to that pitch and making a spectacle of yourself for a whole 90 minutes is starting to bring you out in a cold sweat under your Armani suit. But you can’t back out now, you’d lose face. However, you didn’t get to where you were without being a conniving bastard. The thought occurs that if, for instance, one of your opposing team suddenly had an unfortunate accident, or some of the opposition became ill, or inconveniently ended up in jail for fraud…if, for some strange reason, the other team didn’t show up at all…well then, you could show up on the day, garner all the praise and show your by-thenwell-practiced “disappointed” face. You’d still get the kudos, without having to actually play…and as
a bonus, you would get to discredit some of your least favourite consociates.
