Welcome to Feegle's, a Speakeasy for the magic, abhuman, and horrific denizens of San Francisco, circa 1932. Taking shelter on the yearly night of the Wild Hunt, strange faces mingle among the queer hearts and alien minds of the regulars. But each of the clientele on this night, criminal and hunter, flesh or otherworldly are connected to each other by tenuous and often hidden threads of a grander web. Some have come to make deals, many to get needs met, while others are searching for uncertain answers to troubling questions. Once a thread in the web is pulled loose, what might come undone? And who, if anyone, is at the center of it all? This game will offer character driven plot and conflict, supernatural, queer, illicit, sexual, and political themes, with room for over the top drama and witty fun. Characters will range from morally grey to stark, and historical hetero/sexism and racism will be muted but not ignored.

The Fire Nation Colony of Crescent Lake survived the hundred year war only to be devastated by a series of earthquakes and eruptions from their once dormant volcano. In response, the White Lotus have come with disaster relief, but will the villagers be able to rebuild or forced to evacuate?

This larp is set in the world of Avatar: The Last Air Bender and Korra, and takes place between the two shows. Knowledge of the setting is helpful, but not needed. It features issues around war and colonization in a town that was liberated from colonial rule a generation ago. Many of the plots are more interpersonal and low key, though there is also a political and mystery element.

Are you a villager? Or a werewolf? Whichever you are, the object is to stay alive as each day, players vote to eliminate another player that they think is a werewolf. But every night, the werewolves eliminate a villager. Do you have the cunning to survive to the end? Players are assigned secret roles on either the Werewolf (stay alive) or Villager (find the werewolves) team. Over the course of several game days and nights, players are eliminated one by one, until either all the werewolves are eliminated (villagers win) or equal amounts of villagers and werewolves remain (werewolves win). Cards are used to assign roles, and some special roles will be in play. Don?t fret if you're eliminated early, because after the winners are determined, we'll reset by assigning new roles and start over from the beginning.
