DATE GRAB ROUND 2: The Treaty of Pallas

Nov 30, 2008 17:19

[This replaces my earlier date grab post, as that otherwise perfect weekend was invalidated. So: please ignore that one, and answer this one!]

It is the Year of the Sun Northwest in the world of Gaea, a land of beasts and dragons, cradled by the heavens and loved by the earth. Tonight, on the eve of the orange month of summer, kings and princes, ambassadors and warriors, have come from many countries to meet in the splendid city of Pallas and negotiate the final settlements of grief, loss, bloodshed, and revenge. For, less than a year ago, the Fate War ravaged the continent. The northern country of Zaibach, under the leadership of her mysterious emperor, began a ruthless campaign of expansion, powered by military technology of a destructiveness Gaea had never known. Zaibach was finally defeated by an unsteady alliance of neighboring countries, but not before catastrophic loss and atrocities on both sides.

Tonight, on the eve of the negotiations, old grievances and blood will be aired, new alliances forged, and unexpected friendships made. Perhaps war will loom yet again; perhaps new enemies are yet to be discovered; but perhaps Gaea will finally find peace.

The Treaty of Pallas, a night of passion and politics for 15 to 18 players, is a fan-LARP based on The Vision of Escaflowne. Knowledge of the series is not required for most players, so anybody interested in a character-driven, low-magic, fantasy political LARP is encouraged to join.

I currently need 9-12 more players, perhaps three or for of whom might need to know the series. I am not particularly concerned with gender balance, as I can cross-cast with this game. I'm also achingly in need of GMs, as this game should run with at least three, so if you're willing to assist with that (primarily player observation and basic rules adjudication), please let me know.

(Why those three weekends? Those are the two weekends in January which are 1) after the start of Brandeis classes, and 2) not overlapping with Arisia. And the one weekend in March is equidistant between Intercon and FestEvil, since I think going either closer to those hits sheer LARP overload. And I hope like hell that one of these dates works. o.@)

larp, event planning
