Conflict and resolution

In a diverse group with so many different personalities, agendas and opinions, there will always be some level of conflict. How are these things handled by the people in the Collective? In this update, we’ll talk about how things might have been in the past and hopefully give you some …

Work and routines

To stay alive and safe, everyone must pitch in. One of the gravest offenses in the collective is to be a freeloader, someone who doesn’t contribute in any meaningful way. There have been people who were exiled because they skirted responsibilities or were found entirely useless in the past. There …

Timeline of the collective

The group of people who travel together at the start of the larp are referred to as the Collective. In this post we’ll give you a brief timeline of what’s happened since the collapse. People have joined the collective at different times, and your final character will list when that …

The sorting camps

In the fiction, we are within the borders of a fictive totalitarian dictatorship, which along with the rest of the world has collapsed. The dictatorship is simply referred to as the State. Throughout the State there are several National Career Centers, known colloquially as sorting camps. Once a citizen has …

Costume and visuals

Don’t spend a lot of time thinking about how people in the State dressed. It’s not crucial and we don’t want to micro manage you. It’s your character, you may decide how they look within the guidelines we provide here. It’s only three years since the rise of the fungus …

Re:Boot and weapons

In the fiction of the larp, the need to defend against those who would take what you have has increased since the collapse. Some choose flight over fight, and some decide to make a stand. Weapons are powerful and increase the sense of security. However, you may not bring a …
