Foromtale

Seven survivors of a crashed space colony ship scavenge the wreckage to build their new society. Fortunately, they have the help of their new spouses: each other.

The Intrepid Seven is a queer science-fiction game about the first seven days of the creation of new life and civilization by a group of seven survivors. The twist? These seven recently unfrozen colonists have just been placed into a hasty arranged marriage with each other, as is their culture’s custom.

The game explores themes of survival, the awkwardness of new relationships and the excitement that polyamorous newlyweds might feel toward each other as they change the world around them. Players take on the roles of characters socialized in a ritual-based future society very different than our own, and then proceed to play through seven short acts that let them explore their mutual passions for creation and each other.

Seven survivors of a crashed colony ship scavenge the wreckage to build their new society. Fortunately, they have the help of their new spouses: each other.

The Intrepid Seven is a queer science-fiction game in the American freeform tradition about the first seven days of the creation of new life and civilization by a group of seven survivors. The twist? These seven recently unfrozen colonists have just been placed into a hasty arranged marriage with each other, as is their culture's custom. The game explores themes of making the best of an unusual situation, as well as the excitement that polyamorous newlyweds might feel toward each other as they act on the world around them. Players take on the roles of characters socialized in a ritual-based future society very different than our own, and then proceed to play through seven short acts that let them explore their mutual passions for creation and each other.

The game concerns the thrills of starting multiple new personal relationships all at once and the mixed feelings regarding suddenly having to be intimate with someone whom one hardly knows. It is also about the act of co-creation, both as players and as characters. There is an overt metaphorical level to the work: the characters are based on the seven chakras, and the scenes emerge from the seven days of creation, which allow for some post-game opportunities for interpretation. Players and organizers may take inspiration from media such as The 100 (2014) or the larp Mellan himmel och hav (2003). This game is not concerned with jealousy and brooding. Mild soap-opera-esque drama is to be expected, but the real substance of the scenario comes from the opportunities the characters get to better understand and position each other. The polyamory here is intended to be read as productive and healthy. Pre-game workshops that teach Ars Amandi are included in the game.

Content Warnings: Representation of sexual acts using the Ars Amandi technique (touching of other players' arms), Players blindfolded and bound loosely with ribbon during ritual scenes, Touching of other players, Relationship drama
