A rules-light Mythos-style horror larp set at a Hollywood party during the height of the silent movie era. New larpers welcome! Laureate Pictures welcomes you to a New Year's Eve bash at the swanky Beverly Hills mansion of studio boss Howard D. Reese. 1927 is sure to be a banner year for the studio, and the stars are here to celebrate. And not just the stars. Mr. Reese has invited everyone who works for him, from publicists to costumers to the lowliest extras. (No doubt a gatecrasher or two will slip through, too, but why spoil the mood by getting worked up about that?) So raise a glass of bubbly and toast to the glorious future of the moving pictures! More info at the ticketing link. Silver Screen Shadows is an immersive roleplaying experience. It will be GMed by its designer, Kathleen Fuller.

A 1930s Prohibition-era intrigue game about loyalty, power, and secrets, where every conversation could make or break an alliance. Under the Table is a sandbox-style game where there’s no winning , consider ‘failing forward’ and making big interesting choices in order to make this little slice of old School Chicago sparkle. There isn’t one single plot to follow; instead, there are webs of secrets, debts, romances, rivalries, and ambitions waiting for you to pull on them. You’ll decide what kind of story unfolds: vendettas, betrayals, power grabs, messy romances, or all of the above. Costumes recommended! Take pictures in our photo booth. About the Writer: Under the Table will be GMed by the writer and creator, Coco Kasperowicz.
