I’m trying to gather images and reviews of and from our previous Dragoncon LARPs, as well as our various satellite and sister games. If you have any, or links to them, please comment and let me know.

Posted by “Wes” as a comment on this Article about another LARP:

“My first LARP was at DragonCon in 2004. There was a game called “Streetwise” that was all about “Urban Economics.” The characters came in five types: Dealers, Pimps, Hos, Cops, and Street Preachers. All of the characters were addicted to some “vice” - sex, pastries, or drugs. I picked a cop, and rolled for my addiction–fittingly, it was pastries. All vices, weapons, and cash were represented by paper cards, and combat was resolved through a game of “pencil break,” where your weapon determined how many strikes you got at the other guy’s pencil. Over the course of the day, I became increasingly corrupt, making underhanded, back-alley deals and letting the others off the hook for their illegal possessions and activities in return for protection - I was the only cop for most of the game, and when I got a deputy, he ended up shot dead. I made sure to keep on the preachers’ good sides. I had a great time.”

We are currently seeking playtesters for the brand spankin’ new incarnation of the Streetwise LARP rules. If you are interested, please leave a comment to that effect, and include your email address in the reply. Currently, we are looking to playtest in both the Atlanta, GA and the Portland, OR areas.

Thanks!
