For a few years in the early 21st century, "The Liberated" was an active religious sect in the Boston area. It's leader was Timothy Barke, who claimed that God spoke directly to him. Members lived in a communal house, donated their income to the sect, and lived by a strict code of conduct so that they could receive Timothy's sermons. In 2002 Timothy passed away, and soon after The Liberated collapsed.  Members went back into the real world and tried to lead normal lives; communication between them all but ceased. Now, five years later, several of them have gathered together for a few hours to discuss how The Liberated affected their lives. A Serpent of Ash is a larp about the dark side of religion: What happens when former cult members meet again? What has been left unsaid? A discourse-oriented game for 6-12 players that has been run at major conventions in Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Italy and the United Kingdom.

One year ago, Old MacDonald's farm animals rose up against him, threw off the chains of agricultural oppression, and founded the overtly fascist Free Animals' Republic of MacDonald. Today, on the first anniversary of that glorious revolution, the F.A.R.M. is holding a gala ball in celebration, culminating in the trial of a most notorious criminal.

But in the background, shadows lurk. Rumors fly that someone is running the illegal drugs Curds and Whey. The police are looking into talk of a prostitution ring. Why is Big Bird nowhere to be found? And who is this mysterious Chicken Little that nobody wants to talk about?

The Free Animal Republic of Macdonald Presents the Trial of the Big Bad Wolf, to be Immediately Followed by His Execution, in Celebration of Our First Anniversary is a 4-hour theatre style LARP for 12 players. It was the winning entry in the Iron GM contest at Dexcon 9.

There are some who say that Christopher Marlowe actually wrote Shakespeare's plays. By the year 2020, everyone is too busy backstabbing each other for pocket change to care.

The premise for this game is simple: The plots for Shakespeare's tragedies, as reconfigured for a cyberpunk future. The names may be different, and the powers that be may be cutthroat corporations instead of cutthroat noble houses, but the likes of Romeo, Hamlet, and King Lear will be interacting in a landscape of love, betrayal, high caliber weapons and mirrorshades.

This is a four-hour Theatre-style LARP for people who want to engage in backstabbing intrigue and look badass while doing it.

Here’s the underside. Some people are crazy. Some saw things they couldn’t take. Some did things they couldn’t take. Some are dreamers that walked out on the world, and some are poor people the world walked out on. A high-character, low-plot storytelling game that takes place around a hobo campfire.

Who Am I? This is the eternal question that stands the center of every life. This question leads to others. What separates a hero from a coward? Where is the heart? Why do we struggle day after day to make our lives count? How do we move on when grief threatens to tear us apart? Why do we continue to hope when all hope is gone? There are times in everyone's life that stand out. There are events that bring a smile to our faces or tears to our eyes. These are the moments that shape us, define us, and make even the most exceptional of people, truly human.

Since every moment of our lives redefines every moment that has come before, how can any life be judged until that life is complete?

Every faith has a different theory as to what happens to us when we die. What is the truth and what if they all got it wrong? Only when we pass deaths door can we truly know!

Another life is a theater style game heavily focused on roleplaying and on the exploration of the human condition- the flawed perfection that is the human soul.

At some point, this game will probably offend you. We'd be willing to bet on it. We don't care. This game is satire, but we're using buckshot for ammo, and we've got more targets than we really want to think about. So whether you're liberal, conservative, somewhere in between, a feminist, a ditto-head, a racist, politically correct, or any number of another little sub-groups, we expect to offend you. ...And we'll like every minute of it.

Light hearted SF spoof LARP

Forever, there have been the Forms. These archetypal images, faceless and mutable, are embedded into the very structure of the universe, and are the source of the ideas and ideals that underlie consciousness and fire creation. They are, in essence, ungraspable; name one and you lose part of it by fixing it in place. But there is always need for the concrete as an intermediary to the abstract, and so names developed for the Forms, names and other attributes. In an indefinable time in the ahistorical past, there developed Beings that represented the Forms; these Beings had names, and attributes, and powers. They are called Personae, and your character is one of them.
