Nuclear war sent society into the sea, where bubble domes promised peace. Discovering the mutants shattered that; now folks want to explore Up Top to see what else is hiding. Role-playing stressed.
Description:
It’s 2070. 49 years ago the president threatened a nuclear Cleanse for the True Religion. 47 years ago, he delivered. In the interim, nuclear-safe domes were developed for life in the deep sea, allowing a fraction of society to survive in peace. 3 years ago, mysterious beasts rose from the abyss. Nuclear mutations had been passed down through generations, and some of those affected- now known as the Mers- took to the water. A power-hungry government in the dome city Trident began using the mutations to engineer superior humans- the Tels- and the scandal left significant political backlash. Today, some folks want to explore Up Top to see what truly happened after the Cleanse. Others wish to remain in the domes, clinging to the idea of a paradise that was lost three years ago. The Mers and Tels are getting their own ideas. RP and problem solving stressed.
In order to stop a gang of fanatical hunters, Avatar Shumai gathers a group of powerful benders to find and defend the remaining lion turtles. Role-playing and problem-solving stressed.
Description:
Taking place 300 years after the age of Avatar Wan- a gang of benders angered by the lion turtles’ abandonment of society is hunting the great beasts. Appalled by this, Avatar Shumai gathers a group of powerful benders to defend the lion turtles before the world is thrown any further out of balance. Avatar Shumai and his assembled benders comprise the player base for the game. Characters will seek out the elusive lion turtles and, once/if they find them, defend those creatures from the hunters. The Avatar universe, while often exploring mature topics, is lighthearted and accessible. As such, players are encouraged to be as silly (or serious) as they want with their character.

If you look for politics in role play or want to know what to avoid, join a conversation with Dr. David Simkins, professor & RP researcher, about what works & what doesn't.
Description:
Political RP may not be for everyone, but for those who enjoy it, it can be engaging, exciting, and deeply satisfying. It can also encourage anxiety, tension, and frustration between players. Join a conversation with David Simkins about the role of politics in role play. A long time LARP and tabletop game master, a professor of game development at the Rochester Institute of Technology's School of Interactive Games and Media, and the author of The Arts of LARP, David loves politics in his game, but hates game politics when they bleed into the rest of life. David will bring research, experience, and examples to a conversation about using politics as a focus for role play, and managing politics when they seep out of the game. Join the conversation, and bring your own thoughts and examples as well. The session will begin with a presentation and end with an informal conversation.
Interstellar travel is generally safe, but when something goes wrong what hope does one have? Serious RP about relationships and difficult decisions.
Description:
Your interstellar ship crashed in deep space. A few of you managed to reach an escape pod. Time is running out. Adrift explores relationships, allegiances, acceptance, very difficult decisions and their equally difficult consequences. This game has little focus on plot, action, or problem solving. It has a significant focus on characters and choosing to experience a time and place in game we would never want to experience in reality. Role playing emphasized.
