A Garden of Forking Paths is a tale-telling American Freeform larp told in scenes. In each scene, four characters will face certain dilemmas, and make decisions that will affect the course of their lives. At the same time, two other groups of players will be playing the same characters and, possibly, making different decisions. Between scenes, players will be shuffled into different groups. They will generally play the same characters, but those characters may have made different decisions in the prior scene, causing them to start the next scene in a different situation.

It’s been almost sixty years since the Tursans put six people on the largest of the three moons in the sky, and no one’s been back, not even to orbit, since then. The charismatic CEO of Blue Phoenix has vowed to put the first Emerans into space, and to bring back fame, glory, and profits that will raise poor Emera into the ranks of leading nations. A Second Chance for Wings is a two to three hour tale-telling LARP that plays out the arc of the Emeran push for space. Set on a world far away from our own, but still similar in many ways, A Second Chance for Wings is a character-driven, low-mechanic, little-to-no combat five player LARP. Players will play the same characters throughout the game, provided they survive each tale. Will Blue Phoenix and Emera reach space and the moons, or will space be empty for the foreseeable future?

Adult Survivors of Cinematic Childhood Trauma is set at the first meeting of a public group therapy session.

They have grown up having to deal with the mental repercussions of their childhood adventures in a world where people will be unlikely to believe their stories. They will have triggers and will be encouraged to discuss their trauma. It is possible that parts of the larp will become loud and intense. This larp examines post traumatic stress disorder. It is the goal of the larp to allow people to learn about and explore PTSD by using familiar stories as sort of safe, fictionalized device. It is the goal of the larp that PTSD be presented in an educational fashion, and players will be expected to read some articles about PTSD provided by the event runners before the larp. There will also be some workshops before the larp itself begins.

Humanity has been devastated by the Grey Plague, a roiling miasma that seems to almost knowingly seek people out and extinguish them. Those who still survive are holed up individually, knowing that they probably don’t have long to live. The Grey Plague leaves its victims lifeless but apparently unmarked. Its advance has been so swift and so terrible that it’s not been possible to establish whether it’s a poison, a bacterium, or what. There has been wild speculation about its source/cause, but no sound knowledge exists. It’s thought [by the characters – the players know that this is not accurate] to be attracted by light and by noise. Individuals are physically separated and enclosed, still connected together by what remains of the internet. But they know that they are almost certainly doomed – eventually the Grey Plague will find them, and snuff them out, one by one. In the meantime, they chat online – remembering better times, saying the things that they wish that they’d said before.

Down on ratings, down on funding, slowing slipping off the airwaves and into oblivion, an ailing television network launched its final gambit: a pressure-cooker reality TV show where the contenders for the grand prize have to spend three months living on a submarine, deep under the ocean. It's been four long months of claustrophobic life in the submarine for contenders and crew alike. For the contenders, it's been a non-stop barrage of interpersonal conflicts, hoops to jump and psychological mind games for the world's entertainment. For the crew, it's been life under the network's sword of damocles. In the tiny confines of the underwater vessel, everyone knew that the pay off is the prize, all else must simply be endured. It has been three long months of gritted teeth and thinking of the money at the end, if only it's all a success. And now, at last, it's all over. With the last of the crew and only three contenders left on board, the winner has just been announced and filming has wrapped. The cameras are off, the submarine has begun its ascent and in just three hours, you're free. There's only three more hours to endure.
20	Arsenic & Lies	Karolina Soltys	https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/227833/Arsenic--Lies	$1.99	5-10	2-4?	3		adapted / tested	Arsenic & Lies is a 3 hour larp for 5-10 players inspired by Downton Abbey and Agatha Christie novels. Rather than being a classical whodunnit, it focuses on the emotions, relationships and secrets of the characters involved: solving the murder might be less important to the characters than pursuing their clandestine affairs, arranging marriages of convenience or blackmailing their enemies. See https://arsenicandlies.com/docs/Arsenic%20and%20Lies%20-%20online%20play.pdf for instructions for playing online.
21	Basic Witches	Joie Martin	https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/273794/Basic-Witches?manufacturers_id=12039	$1.99	4-6	2-3	2-3		adapted / tested	Basic Witches is a freeform larp about a coven of suburban witches attempting to hex a politician--but only if they’re able to move past their interpersonal conflicts long enough to complete the ritual.

23	Before the Ordeal	Jamey Patten w/Cyrus Nations	https://library.interactiveliterature.org/brands/jamey-patten/projects/86-before-the-ordeal	Free	4	4?	5	Themes include sacrifice of autonomy, institutional norms of violent and stoic masculinity (though characters may be of any gender), duty, class, and exceptionalism. Content may include proscribed marriage and reproduction (possibly at odds with character sexuality, gender, and/or reproductive wishes) and institutional violence and abuses.	?	As the last step before a squire's ordeal to earn their shield as a knight, they must cleanse themselves with a ritual bath, and be instructed in the code that they must soon swear to uphold. It is said that in this time of contemplation, the boundary between tomorrows and yesterdays is made thin, and knights-to-be can see visions of what their lives may be. It is also said that the count of those who are rejected for failing their ordeal is less than those who reject the shield and choose to walk away before the ordeal even begins. In Before the Ordeal, players will be a tight-knit cohort of squires proceeding together through their ritual baths in turn (wearing swimsuits or similar bathing attire), and experiencing visions of possible futures (played out as short freeform or blackbox scenes, in which players may briefly take on other roles), as they prepare to swear themselves to knighthood (or not). Character core motivations and conflicts will be provided, but relationships and some character and setting details will be established by players collectively answering pre-written prompts immediately prior to play (the first hour or so of the game slot being reserved for this purpose). The setting and scenario draw heavily on Tamora Pierce's Tortall novels (in particular the Song of the Lioness and the Protector of the Small series), though the specific strictures required of knights are rather more demanding than those of Tortall. The game structure draws heavily on Susanne Vejdemo and Anna-Karin Linder's larp, Athena's Chosen.

New York, in the throes of the roaring twenties. An age of defiance, rebellion, blazing forth into a bright future in a whirl of liquor and dancing. Recently, an eccentric but much talked about millionaire socialite has died under very questionable circumstances. Speculation abounds in the streets, and splashed across the papers - who was this man, really? Where did he come from? Who killed him? And why? This afternoon is his funeral, and you are not at it. In the shimmering heat of summer you and other glittering people, none of whom were the sort to have anything to do with the likes of him, while away the afternoon slowly with alcohol, music and something akin to gnawing guilt.

But as each character tries to attain their goals, they will uncover a weave of connections that hides the true story behind past, present, and future.
28	Burial By Ash	Sadia Bies	http://www.goldencobra.org/pdf/2019/Bies%20--%20Burial%20by%20Ash.pdf	Free	4-10	4-5	4	End of the world, ghosts	adapted / tested	The ash falls outside, silent. It muffles the sound and the sky. Eventually it'll cover everything. It hasn't quite yet. Maybe by morning.The world started ending months ago. This shouldn't come as a surprise. It doesn't mostly, or the ones who are surprised have the shame to hide it. We all saw it coming. There was just nothing we could do. People mostly carried on with their normal lives until they couldn't anymore. Until the ash or the ghosts stopped them from pursuing routine, the normalcy of going to work and going home, until this was all that was left. The power went out today, and no one expects that it will come back on. You have candles and friends for tonight, and you're not sure what you'll wake up to tomorrow. You're not sure you'll wake up at all. Some of you are already ghosts and the rest of you might as well be. It’s so hard to tell the difference. Ghosts can’t talk about the future at all, but none of the living want to talk about it much either. Maybe you become a ghost not in one moment, but by imperceptible degrees. It’s inevitable either way

On a spring afternoon in 1986, the air raid siren at your high school goes off and the guidance counselor ushers you into the building's fallout shelter with only a handful of other students. With no radio or other means of communicating with the outside world, it is unclear to all of you whether this is a drill, a mistake, or the real deal. As the hours pass and the possibility of nuclear annihilation grows more real, will you open up to people you never thought you would trust, dismantle the school's social hierarchy as you know it, and say all the things you meant to keep secret?

Their latest show "The Night Watchman's Daughter" has just finished relatively successfully. It was well- reviewed, covered its costs through ticket sales, and even made enough money to pay for some food and booze for a nice cast party. The last showing has gone up and it's time to relax, hang out with friends in the cast and talk about what's next. Cast party is a game that looks at the relationship between player and character in both in and out of game ways. The in game portion is actually a two-hour game. Before the game, players will have a chance to fill out casting questionnaires, and then read all the character sheets. In the first hour, they will use this information to cast themselves. Then they play the game in the remaining time, ending with a debrief and discussion of casting.

And when you're the new ghost in a co-haunting situation, you have no idea what to expect. Dead Reckoning is a GM-less freeform larp about ghost roommates having their monthly Haunt Meeting.

Traces of McFarland's blood found on the Casanova's dinghy mean that police are confident that the culprit is one of those now aboard the yacht. Everyone now is confined to their cabins aboard the Casanova, while the police start their investigation. The only way they can communicate is online.

43	Fading Lights	Xavid	https://xavid.itch.io/fading-lights	Free	5-12	?	2		?	It was a day like any other. The sun was shining through the trees. Birds were singing. You were going about your normal day. And then, without warning, there was a piercing wail. Was it the fire alarm? A siren? No, it was coming from your room. Your normal, ordinary, room. Specifically, from a shard of mirror that you’d picked up years ago, kept as a curiosity. That had never before done anything but reflect light. Now it was translucent and glowing in a strange color. Before you knew what to make of it, there was a voice, a slightly-garbled message. “The hero Kendall Rodgers has failed to bring the Stones of Renewal! The Library is dying. I don’t want to die! Come save me!” Were you going crazy? There was no one around to ask if they’d heard it too. Without thinking about it, you reached out and touched your shard. And then, with a feeling like being turned inside out, you were here. No longer your sunny room, but a dimly-lit, dusty library. With a handful of others that looked as confused as you felt. And two large, gnarled trees, moving oddly in the still air. One of whom was still calling out, in a panic, “Save me!”
44	Flower Court	Jay Dragon	https://jdragsky.itch.io/flower-court	$10.00	5-12	3?	2-3	Murder, romance	adapted / tested	The Flower Court is a game about a group of incredibly powerful pop stars / feudal nobles backstabbing each other and turning against each other in the pursuit of their secret goals. In The Flower Court, you take on one of twelve character sheets, including the noble Prinxarch, the war-hungry Doxe, the mysterious Stranger, the tricksy Baronne, or the nervous Cinderella. You create a character riffing on bizarre aesthetics and unique names, and select a mysterious hidden goal. Over the next several hours, you and your fellow players ask each other questions, send each other valentines, propose to each other, and attempt to assassinate each other, all with unique end goals. Maybe you want to marry the Prinxarch and ascend to the throne. Maybe you just want to find true love. Maybe you're here to cause problems and break hearts. Or maybe, in the end, you just want to make it out of here alive.

The players determine the relationship. Examples might be: A lover who broke up with them. A best friend or roommate they had a falling out with. A parent or spouse who passed away. A child who they have become estranged from. The central relationship, though, can be whatever the group playing wishes to explore. One player will take on the role of "the remnant," the person cleaning out the items owned by the gone. The other players will each play one of the items. Together, the players will weave a story about the good times and the bad times the remnant had with the gone, through the lens of remembering how each item factored into their relationship.

You are either an interviewer on a panel for a private university, interviewing applicants for a brand new special vampiric graduate student program -- or else you are being interviewed. All of you know this is a matter of life and death, as well as academic enrichment.

51	How Are You?	Alessandro Giovannucci, Margherita Masetti	http://www.goldencobra.org/pdf/2020/GiovannucciMasetti_HowAreYou.pdf	Free	2	3-5	2	Personal crisis / emergency	designed as online	Do you remember what kind of relationship you had with your grandparents when you were younger? Did you have a grandmother or a grandfather with whom you felt more in tune, or with whom you talked more often? Well: the grandchildren and grandparents who will be interpreted in these phone conversations are very close, their relationship is unique and special, and they have a feeling that makes it natural for them to confide in each other. We invite you to remember some intimate details of the relationship you had with your grandparent and to draw on them to create the character sheet. If, on the other hand, you haven't had the chance to know even one of your grandparents, don't worry: you can use your fantasy based on the accounts that someone in your family has probably made about them, or you may about the kind of grandparent you would have liked to have, and then make up the relationship you might have actually had. In the game you can bring up other persons who don't appear as playing characters through the Doubt, the Advice, the Shared Recollection, the Event or the Promise.

There is something the Living and the Deceased had to talk about and now it’s too late. When visiting the grave, the Living talks to the Deceased about these unresolved issues – as if they could hear them. And in fact, the Deceased can hear them but cannot respond. Unresolved business in this world gives the Deceased pain and forbids them to find rest in the afterlife. An Angel, existing near the grave, overhears the Deceased’s responses. The Angel can’t hear the Living. But the Angel decides they want to help the Deceased to find rest with this world. When the Angel and the Deceased next midnight talk about what happened, the Angel decides to enter the Living’s dreams to send what the Living needs to know through symbols and visions. Maybe these dreams have already changed the Living when they visit the grave of the Deceased next time.

And it’s a way out of the depressive region / town you are living in. Beside a good application, all it needs to be accepted is a proper citizen-score – when talking about it, it’s often referred to as ‘how sound you are’. Think: credit score, but for behaviour. The general score level of your region is currently deteriorating and some of you might miss the mark. However, you can support each other by up-voting. If only there were enough votes to push everybody over the mark. However, you can down-vote somebody for bad behaviour. Each down-vote earns you one extra up-vote you can spend. So some of you will be outscored and miss a proper score. Or worse: send to correction centre – to be made ‘sound’ again.

The basic idea is simple: The game takes place in the area where it is played, and to go outside the door means you die. If you're in a convention center, the rest of the building is full of zombies ready to eat your flesh. If you're at a cabin, the windows are boarded (draw the curtains in front of them), and the hordes are waiting right outside. As time goes on, the mood inside the shelter gets more and more tense, and eventually someone - or everyone - will inevitably die. This scenario starts from the moment when everyone has just run into the safety of the playing area from various directions, whatever it is. One of the characters slams the door shut, and then the play begins. It is therefore important to take note of any shared traits before the game starts, as those should be unveiled at the very beginning. "You! Out of all the people in the world to survive! You bastard, who left me at the altar!" is a great way to kick things off, for example.

This is a science fiction suspense live roleplaying game inspired by The Fountain (Darren Aronofsky), Five-Twelfths of Heaven (Melissa Scott), Vacuum Flowers (Michael Swanwick) and the works of Cordwainer Smith. The Bell is intended to be an emotionally intense game that pushes moral dilemmas. (It isn’t recommended for novice roleplayers.) It can be run for 12 to 20 players with a play duration of two hours. The premise of The Bell is that the players are the crew and passengers of a space ship called The Soul which is travelling to a planet called Castilia and experiencing technical problems. People are normally put to sleep for the journey, with the crew waking for short periods from time to time to make repairs that the ship cannot handle by itself. In this case, the ship is damaged with problems with critical systems. The players wake as amnesiacs with only partial memories about who they are and why they are there. At several points in the game they will hear a tolling bell indicating that they have to return to their sleeper pods for the next phase of the journey. In these bell interludes they will be able to recover more memories about themselves and other people.

You are the crew of the Coralus, a rickety old freighter carrying much needed relief supplies to a settlement on the planet Ithaca, which has been cut off by ion storms for the past year. You work for the Galactic Relief Foundation, a grand name for an organization which very much fails to live up to it. You're really just a handful of ancient ships who make runs to deliver donated goods to settlements in need. Half an hour ago, your Maintenance AI warned you the ship's power core was over heating. You scrambled to shut everything down so you could wait for repairs, but something overloaded before you could manage. Twenty minutes ago, the Maintenance AI told you that the engine room had flooded with radiation, and all bulkheads have been sealed for your protection because the radiation would otherwise kill you in a matter of hours. Two minutes ago, the Maintenance AI informed you that safety protocols had failed catastrophically and that the only way to prevent the ship from being blown into space dust was for one crew member to manually vent the engines while another manually shuts them down at the same time. The implications are not lost on you: for everyone else on the ship to survive, two of you must die. The AI informs you that you have two hours until the engine explodes. You have two hours to decide.

Each caste has rigidly defined roles and a strict place in the social hierarchy. Most unusually, however, every 100 years a mystical Convergence of the four elements reshapes the structure of Tetranan society, allowing the caste hierarchy to be realigned! This is obviously a most important event, and you are privileged to represent one of the four castes at the Convergence, with the power to determine if a Realignment will occur. You do this, of course, by using your elemental gems to summon your spirit butterfly. Because everything about Tetrana makes perfect sense. Of course, it'd be highly improper for anyone to pretend to be a member of a caste they are not, and especially so at such an important event that will decide the future of the country for the next century. So you have every assurance that everyone is exactly who they appear to be.
