Description

You are a non-humanoid, non-gendered alien, part of a group, about to make unexpected First Contact with another alien species. Your mindset and goals will be heavily influenced by your distinctive culture, yet you also have your own motivations as a character. How will you respond to the discovery of other intelligent beings, with their own very different cultural attitudes? Will this affect your relationships to others of your own kind? This First Contact hasn't happened how you might have wished. How will you respond to the potential dangers of two unique cultures crashing into each other?

We have a website with a casting questionnaire and more details at http://www.vortexofchaos.net/culture_crash/index.html

The game can be played with almost zero costume (we advise a colour to dress in and we will bring enough small props for players' species to be identifiable) or you can go to town and create a full alien costume, up to you.

This game has been well received in the previous runs, and the writers have been inspired to develop a sequel, so this game has been slightly renamed from "Culture Crash" to "Culture Crash (Chapter 1)" to avoid potential future confusion.
