Beskrivelse

*You sit looking into the vastness of space* *Thousands of years pass without your notice* *Stars surround you, floating in the blackness* *They see your light, and you theirs* *But whispers can only reach the closest* ---

*The Stars Whisper* is a larp where you play the stars in a constellation as they shine in the night sky, over the course of thousands of years. It is low-key and contemplative with potential themes of loneliness, isolation and death, and character topics of Emotions, Essence, Existence, Freedom, Friendship, Goodness and Truth.

As a player, you will be spread around the dimly lit space, only able to whisper to those closest to you, and control the flickering of your light(lights will be provided). Over the course of the game, you develop relationships with the other celestial beings around you, whispering to the stars next to you in the constellation, and perhaps asking them to pass messages to other stars who shine light-years away from you. During play you will develop relationships with the other stars in your constellation as well as news you wish to send or questions you seek to ponder with them. As you communicate with your family of stars, you will together contemplate your luminous, still, and lonely lives over millennia.

After an introduction there will be a short excercise(both totaling less than 20min) followed by the main portion of the larp and ending with a debrief. Character sheets are templates focused on one of the 7 character topics with a series of open ended questions for players to answer for themselves. Total reading material is about 2 pages, with 1 paragraph read during the game in the dim light using the provided lamps.
