Description

Behind the facade of the world-ruling Organisation, middle-managers and henchmen struggle against ridiculous rules and impossible demands, in order to maintain the status quo. A comedy scenario about awful management.

Are you dynamic, and ready for new challenges? Then you might be the player for Deep State which the Organisation urgently needs!

Deep State is a comedy scenario about the Organisation - a global conspiracy, which pulls the strings of the world’s governments, manipulates the exchange rate, and cause Global Warming.
It is an ensemble-scenario, where you get to play both the mysterious Heads in charge of the operation, the aloof Middle-Managers, and the ever complaining, yet incredibly competent Henchmen that comprise the Organisation.

In the game room you will make dark connections on a map over the world order, hopelessly try to shift responsibility awat from you, and - most important of all - engage in lots of character play, where you bitch and moan in the canteen, and really get to expIore the unprofessional sides of the characters.

It is a scenario about a hopeless organisation, which limps on anyway, because its employees scramble to get work done. An organisation, where you dare not speak too loudly about actual goals, because it could reveal that you have no idea, what they actually are.

Conspiracy Theories
Comedy
Satire

Player types: You are prepared to bring your own ideas into play, and engage with other players’ inputs. Preferably you have encountered various kinds of nonsens at your work, and want to laugh at your own, and others’, frustrations. It is ideal if words like “Multi-Tasker” and “Team Player” annoy you, and you find conspiracy theories intrinsically funny.

Gamemaster type: You are prepared to frame and cut scenes sharply, play a couple of side characters, juggle player inputs and keep track of time. It is a great advantage if you have old moments of irritations from your career.

Bag facaden på den verdensdominerende organisation kæmper mellemledere og håndlangere mod latterlige regler og umulige opgaver for at opretholde status quo. Et komediescenarie om dårlig ledelse.

Er du omstillingsparat, og klar på nye udfordringer? Så kunne du måske være den spiller til Deep State som Organisationen har brug for!

Deep State er et komediescenarie om Organisationen, –en global konspiration, der trækker i trådene i verdens regeringer, manipulerer valutakursen og forårsager global opvarmning.
Det er et ensemble-scenarie, hvor man får lov til at spille både de mystiske Overhoveder, de virkelighedsfjerne Mellemledere, og de evigt brokkende, ultrakompetente Håndlangere.

I spillokalet kommer man til at tegne dystre forbindelser på et kort over verdensordenen, håbløst kaste ansvaret fra sig, og – vigtigst af alt – spille masser af karakterspil, hvor I brokker igennem i kantinen og rigtigt får udforsket rollernes uprofessionelle sider.

Det er et scenarie om en håbløs organisation, der alligevel halter videre, fordi folk yder deres ypperste. En organisation, hvor man ikke tør tale for højt om de egentlige mål, fordi det kunne afsløre, at man ikke aner, hvad de egentlig er.

Konspirationsterorier
Komedie
Satire

Spillertype: Du er klar på at komme med ideer og lege med andres input. Du skal helst have oplevet dumme ting på dit arbejde og har lyst til at grine af din og andres frustrationer. Du må også gerne blive irriteret af ord som “robust” eller “agil” og have lyst til at gøre grin med konspirationer.

Spilledertype: Du er klar på at sætte og klippe scener skarpt, spille nogle få bipersoner, jonglere spillernes inputs undervejs og holde styr på tiden. Det er en stor fordel, hvis du har gamle irritationsmomenter fra dit arbejde til inspiration.
