In 2017, a diverse team of women wrote, designed, & organized a live game exclusively for women. Learn what happened in- & off-game when we created & brought to life the world of Immerton.
Long Description:
Immerton is a fictional world and live role-play experience written by women for women participants, taking place in a society of women in a polytheistic goddess pantheon. Designed to explore what happens in woman-only spaces, the game used a feminist sandbox design that emphasized rituals, relationships, collaborative roleplay, and transformational experiences through a meta room, mask play, and multimedia storytelling. Using feedback from participants and organizers, we will discuss this uncommon opportunity for a woman-only roleplaying space and community, one that has its heart in feminist design focusing on choice, collaboration, non-hierarchical spaces and relationships, empowerment, and communication. Challenges and opportunities in the women-only space will be presented, as well as how the gender-exclusive space created opportunities for exploration, bonding, and freedom.
