"Do You Know Where It Is?": A COUNTER/Weight Fan-LARP

This is a fan-LARP for the podcast Friends at the Table - specifically, the season COUNTER/Weight! You do not need to have listened to the podcast to play or run this LARP - but it’ll help! You also don’t need to have LARPed before. This game is set to run for two hours of play-time, with a 15-minute intro before and a debrief after.

This game is set at the conclusion of a disastrous heist cyberpunk mission, on the team’s spaceship The Kingdom Come, as it exits the orbit of the planet Vox, where the heist mission took place. The Chime, our team of mostly-competent and mostly-affable fixers, now has to sort out what happened - all while a man who seems to be holding something over their boss’s head demands the handover of a piece of technology that the Chime utterly failed to retrieve.

This game takes place as an uninterrupted two hour long scene where players physically embody their characters for most of the duration of gameplay, only dropping out of character to negotiate safety or meta concerns. Aside from safety mechanics (which will be suggested here, but can be modified at player & GM discretion), the main mechanic of this game is Memory Reconstruction, where players will recall portions of the heist and together assemble a timeline of the confused events of the heist, using both pre-written materials and player-created/improvised events. However, the focus of the game is on character interactions (hopefully both fun and poignant), and exploring the fun chaos that these characters can get into. The game ends when Ibex has to leave for a meeting with the Vanguard - hopefully with the technology he came there to retrieve.
