LARP Town Hall Thursday, May 7th

Arisia LARP Town Hall
Thursday May 7th from 7-9pm at MIT in the Whitaker Building (Building 56), room 154.

Help shape the future of LARP at Arisia. This Town Hall style event will be an open discussion on the challenges and rewards of running LARP content at Arisia. Can Arisia do LARP well? If so, what needs to change? If not, should Arisia do LARP at all? Open to all of the Arisia community (attendees, volunteers, participants, and those who've never been to Arisia before, but are interested!)

Kris "Nchanter" Snyder, the Arisia 2016 convention chair, will be available prior to the meeting starting at 6pm for people to chat with her informally on any topic pertaining to Arisia

Topics covered at the town hall are likely to include:

• Ideal blue-sky LARP scene at the convention. (E.g. what would the LARP community want to see at a January convention in Boston, and what is a realistic LARP presence that could happen in the next 2-3 years.)
  
• Space and time constraints that Arisia has.
  
• Boffer vs Theater, One Shot vs. Campaign, Cast vs. Horde games - How to get more diverse game styles involved
  
• Support for more experimental LARP layouts, like multi-room things / across the hotel.
  
• Setting expectations for what is expected of the LARPs that participate at Arisia

Hope to see you there!
