- Description
BloodNet is a cyberpunk-vampire larp based on the eponymous 1993 MicroProse adventure computer game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BloodNet). Players take on the role of one of the characters of Manhattan 2094, either eking out a living between cyberspace and reality or trying to rule it all. Intrigue between different factions vying for dominance appears inevitable. Though there may be violence, conflict in the BloodNet universe is usually quick, brutal and lethal, with there being a possibility of your character's soul winding up in cyberspace or other alternatives. In any case, players of the larp will be guaranteed something to do for the entire four- hour duration. A simple mechanic involving bargains between players over their characters resolves most conflict, with the rest resolved through a "prestige" based damage system.
Neither familiarity with the original video game nor with any specific larp system is necessary to play in this larp.
Mature audiences only.
