Content Concerns
First, your safety during play is critical. If you have any concerns, let's talk privately about those concerns beforehand. We want you and everyone else in the game to have a good experience. This LARP, like many others, may not be suitable for all players. Your safest choice may simply be not to play, and that's fine.
Second, this is a LARP for adults. It is not suitable for children.
Third, it is difficult to summarize complex LARP issues into a brief description. This is our best attempt to spell out what we and our editors believe are the sensitive subjects. It is, by the nature of LARP, incomplete, because we don't have knowledge of or control over what you and the other players may bring to the environment. Again, if you have concerns, let's talk about it beforehand.
Content concerns may include, but are not limited to:
- Butterflies
- Cats
- Centipedes
- Dogs
- Eels
- Octopi
- Spiders
- Tardigrades
- Wombats
- Finding a breeding partner (specifically not romance, but breeding). There is no actual breeding written into the game, but there is mention of a desire for offspring.
- Eating parts of another sentient being.
- Eating pet-like animals.
- Eating beloved pets, after their humane passing, in celebration of their life and companionship. (Only in backstory.)
- Fire, with references to others being badly burned or killed by fire. (Only in backstory.)
Fourth, if you have concerns that are not included on this list, please ask us about them beforehand.
Finally, it's also difficult to summarize complex LARPs with challenging drama in a way that doesn't make them sound like terrible experiences. The goal of this LARP is to explore First Contact across distinctive cultures, with interesting characters, drama, angst, and fun.
Character Gender and Relationships
There are two important notes about gender and relationships:
-
All characters are non-gendered and written with they/them pronouns. These are not humanoid species. Humanoid genders do not apply.
-
Because of this, a group of characters may be in a relationship. If you are unable to play relationship drama that would be difficult or impossible because it does not match your real life relationships, then you should choose a different game.
We have tried to make this game as accessible as possible. If you have concerns, let's talk about it beforehand.
