This is about a future of wonder and discovery, from the time of the First Sentience in the Galaxy, to a time where the hills and valleys of hyperspace are filled with ships from thousands of sentient races. These sentiences are biological, of fluids and sinew, adapting to some surprising ecological niches. They are mechanical, with positronic robotic minds driving robotic bodies of all shapes and functionalities. They are also virtual, living software existing in one of the vast computational constructs of quantum entanglements and semiconductors.

And yet, they are all people, with hopes, ambitions, desires, quirks and foibles. For all of the freedom a post-scarcity economy brings, problems remain. Communication between two groups of people with vastly different mindsets is always difficult, even under the best circumstances. Important decisions must be made, with incomplete information, and with no time to mull over the options. Accidents happen. Mistakes are made. And evil still exists.

These are Tales of some of those challenging moments. These Tales use classic science fiction themes and settings to pose interesting and challenging questions about the future. Each Tale is a separate, small, independent, focused LARP.

Tales of the Future Volume 1 is a dark, philosophical Tale-telling LARP set in the universe of Across the Sea of Stars, The Tales of Irnh, The Journey of a Single Step Made Quadrillions of Times, and others. It consists of a series of eight independent Tales - short microLARPs - that illuminate the history of the Future.
