Description

_Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth._

_Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same._

_And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back._

_I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference._

When you are lost in the yellow woods of your life, which road will you travel?

The Road Not Taken is a serious event about choices and consequences, dealing with emotions and psychodrama, using the Ten Bad LARPs format. It was written and first run by the fabulous Mike Young. It is recommended for mature players.

The Road Not Taken won Best Small Game (6-12 Players) at the 2008 LARPA Small Games Competition.
