You play proper Victorian attendees at a soiree. Think a Downton Abbey/Eastenders/Agatha Christie mashup. Someone ends up dead, but secrets abound and protecting your reputation may be more important!
A very fun, very easy RPG. It uses your random words for character generation, resulting in... whimsical and unpredictable scenarios. You will 100% succeed. You just have to explain how!
Description:
Similar to a Mad Lib, you will gather silly words from your fellow players for character creation. I'll get words from you to help set the scenario up and then for each encounter in the adventure. Success or failure depends on using whatever abilities and tools you’ve got in creative ways. I think this game is a whole lot of fun, but you don't have to take my word for it. Just ask the members of "The Fellowship of Varying Sizes," the band of heroes who took down the "Crunchy Gnoll Cult (worshipers of the Fast Snail God)." A fantastic game, loads of fun. You'll be laughing about it all con!
A lighthearted, very easy RPG and great way to close out the con, we use random words for character generation, resulting in ... odd scenarios! You will 100% succeed -- but only if you explain how!

You sold your body, your mind wiped clean. Now your contract is up—your past self awaits. Were you desperate, dangerous, or worse? When the truth comes out, will you even want your old life back?
Description:
The author wrote this as a tribute to Dollhouse and Altered Carbon. In the near future, your body was not your own. You sold yourself to the Company, your mind erased, your identity wiped clean. Again and again, they imprinted you with new personalities, sent you on missions, then erased you once more. You’ve been assassins, lovers, thieves, and spies—never knowing who you truly were. Now, your contract is up. The Company offers you a choice: reclaim your original identity and walk free or stay in the dark. When the truth comes out, will you want your old life back? A high-concept thriller of identity, power, and consequence, this game is perfect for players who crave intrigue, moral dilemmas, and a cinematic sci-fi experience.
NOTE: If you've played in the past and want to be a scientist (or just want to observe this run), see LRP26ND311178!
They sold their bodies. You wiped their minds clean. Now their contract is up, and you have to tell them if they were desperate, dangerous, or worse.

This is a special addition to the game as requested last year. It's a great way to play it again from a new angle or to participate from the sidelines while a friend or family member goes all in on the Did I Fall Asleep LARP (LRP26ND311177)!

"... This was hands down the best game session I've ever been in. I've been privileged to play with big names and many creators running their own games and adventures. I would play in a game run by MoraganJ over any of them and hope to join more of his in the future. MorganJ was especially good keeping players involved and getting into character, while making sure nobody was left behind."
