Players

Two slices of rich angst, romance and dark motives, wrapped around a light comedic filling, this is a ‘Sandwich’ of three different Science Fiction inspired “Micro-Larps” from the BTL (‘Bunch of Tiny Larps’) stable, adapted for play online.

These games all have Science Fiction based themes, varying from Dark Cyberpunk, through Hitchikers inspired Comedy to Hard SF.

Individual games are for 5 players, and each one runs in under 30 minutes.

The Judgement of Solomon A Courtroom Drama with the fate of a child hanging in the balance. Romance, Guilt, Hubris and Corporate Greed with some moderately dark elements.

The Gig at the End of the Universe The universe is dying, and your drinks bill is getting larger by the minute. You’re here to talk to Hotblack Desiato about his next gig. Pity he’s dead - ’cause if he wasn’t you could give FREDDIE, the Sirius Cybernetics corp’s Electronic Medium, the reprogramming it so thoroughly deserves.

Waiting The Aliens are coming, the only question is how long you have left, and what you need to say before you face the end.

Originally written for the “Better Than Life” booth in Across the Universe, these games have now expanded beyond that, and all games have now been run at least 10 times previously, including one online playtest.

Each game requires reading 1-2 sides of A4. All text is designed to be ‘Dyslexic-friendly’.
