The eternal wonders of space and time. The far away dreams and mysteries of other worlds. Other life. The stars. The planets. Humanity has been face to face with them for centuries, yet is barely able to penetrate their unknown secrets. Sometime, someday, the barrier will be pierced. Why must we wait? Why not now?
Storyworld CHaracters
We will provide you with a written Storyworld character with a background, motivations, and some ideas for a few relationships. As a part of this character you will receive a set of questions about the character that we’d like you to think about.
B world CHaracters
In addition, we will provide you with an outline of your B World character in the form of a snippet from a script, a few character notes, their basic plot, and some information about the town of Blackwood Ridge where the movie is set. The B World characters are stereotypes, like you’d see in any B Movie: the Sheriff, the Quarterback, the Diner Waitress, the Alien Invaders. While the Storyworld characters exist throughout the larp, the B World characters only exist during B World time, when the cameras are rolling or scenes are rehearsed.
Working with the characters
We encourage you to develop both layers of these characters yourselves and with your co-players. You are welcome to reach out to your co-players and to form and build relationships in advance of the larp. Pre-play is also encouraged with the proviso that you don’t resolve any plot points before the larp. We will also have some time in workshops for relationship building We ask that you engage with the pre-larp activities as much as you are able, but we ask that – at a minimum – you commit to reviewing the game materials and to attend or watch the online pre-larp briefings.
Character Blubs
The blurbs are short introductions to the varied and various characters available to play in the B Movie Storyworld. These are the blurbs from the first run and may be updated slightly to reflect player gender preferences.
