Casual theatreform night! It's the middle of winter, the weather outside is frightful, but larping inside is delightful. I happen to have a hall going spare that night, so I'm inviting folks that are free to come along! Two events on offer, depending on the numbers. $10 to attend, gets you a fun game and drinks/nibbles. There's time for socialising and chatting after.
Please note: This event clashes with the Order of Wolves social event. If you are a Crucible player, please go to that instead of this! I'm not wanting to draw anyone away from the Crucible event.
The Final Voyage of the Mary Celeste
This game was written by Jim MacDougal, with additional material by Mike Young. Adapted for live combat by Ryan Paddy.
It is November 1872. The brigantine Mary Celeste has been at sea for 23 days en route from New York to Genoa with a cargo of 1700 casks of commercial alcohol. It is a cargo the ship's complement is unfamiliar with. The Mary Celeste lies approximately 500 miles off the island of Santa Maria in the Azores...
A week later, the ship is found, abandoned, its cargo untouched. The crew is never found. Over the years, many bizarre theories have arisen to explain what happened on that fateful night, from aliens, to sea monsters, to time travellers. This pulp-adventure mash up takes inspiration from the known facts and the conspiracy theories to place the characters a few hours before the fateful disappearance. A game of cracked out hijinks, conspiracies and merry chaos for 13 players.

It Ain't Easy Being Gilled
by Anna Klein
Remember high school? All the angst, the drama, the rebellion, the gossip, the crushes, the homework, the exams, scholarships, careers, family obligations, fashion, music and being very misunderstood?
It's no different when you're a student at Innsmouth High School. Well, all right, maybe it's a little different - maybe in other towns they don't go skinny dipping at Devil's Reef, maybe other teenagers don't have arranged marriages with Deep Ones to worry about and maybe other teenagers don't have to worry about how their gills look with the latest looks in Cosmo. But other than that, it's not much different being a teenager in a decaying town trapped in an ongoing alliance with a race of underwater monsters.
A group of ten friends are having a small party to celebrate their graduation - to reflect on the last few years, to talk about the future, resolve some of those unresolved feuds or unspoken crushes, and obviously, get really drunk.
A comedy larp for 10 players. As they say in Innsmouth High: it's only funny until someone gets sacrificed to Dagon. Then it's HILARIOUS!
