RPG system: LARP
Participants: 35 players

Description

Welcome to Love and Duty
The year is 1813, and two elderly widows have invited their extended families to visit, along with some carefully selected guests. What will transpire over the next few days is a societal game with dancing, flirtation and new friendships, where permanent matches will be made between families. In the process, hearts will break, old traumas emerge, and patterns repeat themselves.

Love and Duty is a larp set in the Regency era. It’s the story of generational trauma being passed on, about society’s ­expectations and shattered dreams. It is also a story of love, marriage and reputation.

It is not a romantic regency larp. It is not about playing Austen heroines, or happily ever afters. Instead, this is a larp about social realism, rather than the romanticized version we so often see portrayed. For this larp we want to lean into the constraints and expectations of this time.

Love and Duty is a non-profit Nordic larp organized by Atropos and Lu Larpová. Participants will play either one of the upper-class guests (Upstairs), or one of the servants working at the house (Downstairs).
