A private corporation turns it's vision towards space on a distant world. In this "choose your own adventure" style game, your decisions will determine where the story goes & how the world changes.
Description:
The Blue Phoenix corporation has turned its vision to space. It’s been almost sixty years since the Tursans put six people on the largest of the moons in the sky, and no one’s been back, not even to orbit, since then. The charismatic CEO has vowed to put the first Emerans into space, and to bring back fame, glory, and profits that will raise poor Emera into the ranks of leading nations. In this "choose your own adventure" style larp, your decisions will determine where the story goes, and how the world changes for each subsequent section as you play out the story of the Emeran push for space. Set on a world far away from our own, but still similar in many ways, this is a character-driven, low-mechanic, no combat larp. Will Blue Phoenix and Emera reach space and the moons, or will space be empty for the foreseeable future? Your decisions will decide in what direction the story goes.

Rose Quartz has assigned a team to disrupt the cargo and destroy the island’s spire and galaxy warp if possible. The Rebellion can’t afford to let Homeworld’s ranks of quartz soldiers swell. It won’t be easy, especially with the local humans poking around, but the team will find a way; they always do.
Come play the armed gang that raided The Millennium Dome earlier today & stole the De Beers diamonds worth an estimated 220 million pounds. Release your inner East London gangster.
Description:
The Millennium Dome was raided earlier today by an intrepid armed gang, who used a JCB to break in and steal the De Beers diamonds worth an estimated 220 million pounds. They escaped by speedboat up the Thames. If you have any information as to their whereabouts call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. The governor Mr Jackson told you to come to meet him early at the lock up, because you're the only one he trusts, but when you got there he was brown bread. You've got just three questions. Who killed him, who will take over the gang, and most importantly where's the bloody loot?! Borrowing heavily from the universe of Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Layercake and Snatch, this short and potentially rather silly game gives you the chance to release your inner East London Gangster. WARNING - there may well be character death in this game. Shooters'll be provided by the management.
