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. These LARPs, 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, this is a LARP about difficult ethical and moral choices. It is not suitable for all adults.

Fourth, it is difficult to summarize complex Tale 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 include but are not limited to:

• Bad poetry
• Cannibalism
• Choosing the potential deaths of many anonymous people
• Cult behavior
• Death of a loved one, a sibling, or a spouse
• Excessive use of puns
• Facing one's mortality
• Grief
• Human frailty
• Loss
• Mind control
• Mutilation
• Overeating
• Religious fervor
• Sadistic abuse
• Self sacrifice
• Suicide
• VR game use of seduction and sex as a means of escape

Finally, it's also difficult to summarize complex Tales asking interesting and hard ethical moral dilemmas in a way that doesn't make them all sound like terrible experiences. We want the Tales to challenge you, to get you thinking, to see what answers you can find. There is also some comedy, some lighter moments, and some content that doesn't need an explicit warning. Just ask anyone who's played one of the other Tale LARPs written by these authors. It's why those Tale LARPs run over and over again, with new audiences asking us to run them.

Character Gender and Relationships

There are three important notes about gender and relationships:

1. All characters are written with they/them pronouns. Players can choose the pronouns they want used for their characters in the game. This information should be added to the character name displayed for each Tale, within Discord limits.

2. In any given Tale, some group of characters may be in a relationship. If you are unable to play intense relationship drama that would be difficult or impossible because it does not match your real life relationships, then you should choose a different game.

3. Some characters belong to races that don't have two genders.

We have tried to make this game as accessible as possible. If you have concerns, let's talk about it beforehand.
