i figured that it was about time i made this public, and as this forum is not very well known yet i thought it would be a good idea to do thig now.
Anyway I have meantioned to a few ppl that I am planning on running an on going LARP next year, the basis for the LARP is player created chacacters.
‘The Chrysalids’ is a book by John Wyndham (John Wyndham Parkes Lucas Beynon Harris), anyone who has read this book will not be allowed to play! Although you are more than welcome to read it afterwards.
The setting for the larps is a rural agricultural community, there are cities, few and far between but they are there, are what we would call smallish towns (pre-industrial). The time is a little more difficult, the world (yes we are on earth) is not new, there was a civilisation before, but it no longer exists. What happened to it is unclear, however when the end of this civilisation is spoken about the word used to describe it is ‘tribulation’, what is meant by this is uncertain, but the term is universally recognised. The civilization is simply referred to as ‘The Old People’, very little is know about them, rumours about them are common place. They range from ‘The Old People’ could fly like birds, to ‘tribulation’ was brought about by their lack of faith.
The structure of the society itself is rather interesting, faith here is very thing, or rather fear of god is.
The ‘True Image of God’, this have been taken to its extreme, not only people created in the true image of God, everything was created in this ‘True Image’. Anything that has even the smallest defeat was not created by God, but by the devil in order to penetrate human society and turn humans away from God. These small defeats are the only way of telling what the devil created it, for only God can create true perfection.
