This page is for me to talk about the more obscure LARPs I've written and co-written.

Up until very recently, you thought you were a normal person. Then something changed inside you. Something woke up. Now you’re different, stronger, able to do impossible things, know impossible knowledge. You don’t know why, though. All you do know for sure, is that one day shortly after these discoveries, you felt powerfully drawn to somewhere in your world. You traveled there, only to find a window in the fabric of reality. Something felt so, so familiar about this place, about these circumstances. You approached the window, and through it you saw others like you, but could not reach them physically, only through your voice. That is where you stand now, drawn to the confluence of universes. Maybe now you’ll finally have some answers.
The Confluence is an American Freeform game where you play lonely gods that have recently regained their memories of what they are. They meet at a confluence of worlds that only occurs once every 100 years. As memories come to the surface, they realize that they have a terrible choice to make. This is a game about memory, love, loneliness, guilt, immortality, and making difficult decisions.
This was my entry for the Golden Cobra Challenge 2020. It's a four page LARP intended to be played online, and uses a shared online deck of cards and has mechanics for players editing each other's character sheets.
Content warning: death/murder, existential horror, relationship problems, character to character antagonism, player generated content
Forgiveness is a short experimental LARP (live action roleplaying game) playable in a 15 minute to 30 minute period (this may need to be adjusted depending on player styles.) There are three player characters and one NPC. These three people find themselves sitting together in an otherwise empty room. They remember nothing of who they are, how they got there, and have no memories whatsoever. A glowing humanoid entity enters the room. To say much more would spoil the story, but be aware that this game is written in such a way that it will likely provoke in-character arguments about religion.
Content warning: death, religion, violent fundamentalism, murder, harsh interactions, sex work and violence against sex workers, playing as a horrible person (This game will probably be edited to remove some problematic content.)
This game was written quickly as an assignment for a Game Studies class in Fall 2013, and has never been playtested as of the time of upload.
I wrote this with several other people as a part of a 2 week LARP writing boot camp. The plot revolves around two parallel universes colliding and characters meeting their doubles from very different universes, one ruled by science and one by magic. They have to figure out which of their universes they can save.
