RPG system: LARP
Participants: 6-18 players

Description

*“It’s a ponderous thing, isn’t it? How you came to the Underworld. You do remember who you’re here for, correct?”*

*“Oh. It seems it’s already begun.”*

Memories do not last in the Underworld. The past falls away from the minds of those who wander its landscape. But a few, the lucky, the brave, perhaps the foolish, seek to bring back those who are trapped there. They travel to the land of the dead, to remind their loved ones of the life they once led, to bring them home.

But the Underworld does not give up its denizens so easily. And the descent is costly.

*Descent* is a freeform modern fantasy LARP based on the Orphean Rescue trope, which explores themes of memory, found family, and how what we remember shapes our identity. Characters are developed through an approximately hour-long workshop process, in which each player will write a series of short memories based on provided prompts. These "memories" are then randomly reassigned to players to form the basis of their characters. While the goal is to escape with your loved ones, the focus is on high emotionality role-play, with minimal mechanics.
