City of No Flag (LARP)
“Game 2 – Big Rock in a New System.”
A LARP for 20 Space-Going Ruffians, including returning players, by David M. Hayes.
Gaining mining rights is easy. All you have to do is stake a claim. So Saltiar Corp has laid claim to this system and named it Numidia. This hasn’t caused any problems with any other conglomerate, but once Saltiar start gouging rock for the gooey platinum inside, changes may happen. You also have a load of illegal drone tech on the Carthage and four AI frigates docked to boot which may draw unwanted attention or cause other problems? Who knows? All you do know is you have pulled another protection shift on the Carthage. Let’s hope this one is as profitable.
Saturday Afternoon 3pm-6pm

a professional’s brain trying to decide when/if she should wear lipstick. A rocket
engineer. Malala’s sister. Yourself, coming up with new words for… things you
think you can’t say. Every 30 minutes you’re in a new game, and they all have
something to explore about feminist issues. 3-5 players per game, come and go
as you like. Some games are mechanicky, some are narrative, some are angry,
comedic, or thoughtful. Or all that. Written by larpwriters from across the globe.
A series of short, Freeform LARPs for 3 – 30 players facilitated by Sarah Hoover.

“Challenges”
The new werewolves of Dublin have already faced many obstacles in staking their claim to the territories of Dublin. They have seen off the hated Pure, even taking one of them into their fold. Now, they must face the problem of what must be done with those territories that were unclaimed by the new Protectorate, where old and terrible enemies have made gains. The spirits grow restless also, and make odd demands. So, the werewolves of Dublin must face another greater challenge: each other.
