Legacy of Alice: The Numerocracy Needs You. Again.
Alice left all of Wonderland in a storm. When it settled, everything had changed. The cards have risen up, the Knaves turning their blades on their former masters. Now the Kings are dead, the Queen of Hearts gone, and her sisters under lock and key. The Ranks rule Wonderland now, their Numerocracy recognising all denominations as equal - but some more equal than others.
But Wonderland is changing. Old allies reveal new faces, and strange threats lie in familiar ground. There are rumours that the Queen is returning, that heads will roll. But paper is running out. The Numerocracy has purged and pulped the royalists of Wonderland long ago. If it's going tosurvive, it's going to have to search somewhere else for their traitors. Within.
Legacy of Alice is the live roleplaying game of cut-throat bureaucracy, surrealist horror and post-revolutionary paranoia. Gone is the senseless violence of the Monarchy; instead, characters live or die by their ability to tramp down their underlings, undermine their betters and assign blame to their peers. The cards of the Numerocracy wield a weapon crueler than any blade - the pen.
Thirty to fourty players will be split between the four interdependent Suits, backed up by the Knaves and accompanied by revolutionary confidantes The White Rabbit and The Cheshire Cat. Over eight hours they will weather the worst that Wonderland has to throw at them in a bleak atmosphere of frantic finicketing, broken only by surreal sabbaticals to The Mad Hatter's Tea Party. Death is the most powerful form of demotion, but the bureaucracy must not be left vacant - pulped characters are copied and returned at the bottom of the hierarchy. The daily meatgrind must continue.

The Legacy of Alice team is looking for a special someone from Oxfordshire to join us. The ideal crew member will be inspired, organised and graceful under fire. In light of the county's excellent location, historical gravitas and abundance of potential venues, we will be focusing our efforts to find a host there; we would like to coordinate with the new team member to make this a possibility. In addition, they would have the option of taking an active NPC lead during the game or, if they would prefer, an administrative, support NPC, or even player role.
If it proves uneconomical to book a venue for less than a weekend, or ask players to travel for a single day, we will be extending the event to cover an additional two LRPs. In keeping with Legacy of Alice, these are likely to be alternative takes on classic literature, with a structured non-combat approach. We will be looking to collaborate with the new team member to decide the nature and final form of these, if applicable. If the venue best supports a one-day event, we will explore these ideas separately.
If you would like to volunteer for the team role, offer any lead on a venue, have any questions or just want to show support, please post here or contact Dominic (domflannelcat@gmail.com) or I (conradsjones@gmail.com) directly.
