Description

*Faustian Speed Dating* is a larp about sorcerers and demons making pacts in a speed dating scenario. Character sheets are short and players are expected to expand greatly on their characters based on said sheets.

The game has a very comedic setup, but the tone of given conversations is ultimately driven by how the players choose to expand on their characters and portray them. Expect substantial tonal shifts from conversation to conversation.

In this setting "Sorcerers" are mortal humans who have had some terrible thing happen to them that has made them want to change the world or themselves in dramatic ways. Said traumas are the source of many of the game's content warnings.

"Demons" are beings from Hell that are all centered around some emotion, feeling, or sense. They are slyly attempting to convince Sorcerers to give their eternal soul to them to be tortured forever in exchange for great power. Said eternal tortures are often existentially or psychologically challenging, and are the source for many of the content warnings.

This game also contains sexual content, particuarly discussion of taboo sexual practices.
