Description

You're riding the wave as one of the hottest bands in the world, on tour for your latest album, partying all night long. But dark shadows dwell behind the spotlights and the silence of death beyond the speakers.

Players will assume the pre-generated personas of the four band members, their manager, roadie, groupies, or other members of the entourage.

Who killed rock and roll? Find out in this theater-style, fully immersive [Enigma Live Game Labs](http://www.livegamelabs.com/) murder mystery, which is being run **inside a private suite of the Westin Waltham Hotel**. Mechanics and rules are minimal, emphasis on rockin' out...er, role-playing.

ELGL ran _Limbo!_ and the tiki hospitality suite at Intercon J.

The Rock Band(tm) or Guitar Hero(tm) video game will represent the band's in-game rockin'. Some experience with these video games preferred for the band member players, but not required.

This larp will have elements of or references to drug use, alcohol, cigarette smoking, violence, sex, prostitution, gambling, and all the bad behavior associated with rock and roll (mostly simulated, of course).

21+ only due to presence of alcohol.

**There will be an in-game breakfast for all players.**

This larp was first run at Wyrd Con last year, described by Nat Budin as: "This was what we in New England call a 'WYSIWYG' game, or what the Nordic LARPers call a '360 degree' game, meaning that everything in the game space is diagetically real. The couch is a real couch, the panties draped over the nightstand are real panties draped over the nightstand, the bowl of M&Ms with all the green ones removed is a real..."

This run has been adjusted from the original.
