Can you really blame people for wanting to interact with dinosaurs once it was discovered that they still lived in our world? Our fascination with dinosaurs has existed as long as we’ve understood the nature of the bones we’ve found in the earth. In this 3–4 hour live online video adventure, you will assume the role of an inhabitant of an island called Saurendipity, which is populated by dinosaurs. The creatures, resistant to being caged and put on display, rebel. It’s up to you to work with (or against) the others on the island to escape. Isolated by the emergency, you use the island’s video communication system to communicate and strategize, and each of you has unique abilities which can affect your rates of success.
Welcome to LORE: Live Online Raptor Experience.
This is a lighthearted, somewhat campy, light rules larp (live action role playing game). Each run takes place in a unique decade and we run the game on Zoom. You receive archetype characters (playable as any gender), with a personalized, bespoke paragraph to suit your gameplay preferences. Would you like to play as a rock and roll legend from the 1960s, a steampunk engineer from the 1880s, or a cyberpunk entrepreneur in the 2080s? The choice is yours.
Content warnings include: animal harm, light violence/mauling of people, guns/light military presence, profanity, high-pressure situations. If you aren’t comfortable with these themes, this larp probably isn’t a great fit for you.
Some runs will be streamed on Penny for a Tale, a popular Twitch channel run by some fabulous people. This is for participants aged 18+. The larp is in English and will be broadcast on a mature stream (profanity allowed). The stream is moderated, but be aware that we are unable to control what viewers say. Offensive comments in the stream will be deleted. This game is particularly friendly to new and experienced gamers alike. We welcome friends from all over the world. Please join us!
