    Styles of Play: Larp

    The city stops, gathered around the stadium. The derby splits it in two. In the locker room, eleven players prepare for something more than just another game. On the other side of the wall, their long-time rivals. A ritual, a sacred space for the length of the match, only extinguished by the referee's final blow on the whistle. And between that, some sublime moments and many ridiculous episodes. In a word, soccer.

    by Chris Dragga and Kate Hill

    A long time ago--perhaps 100 years ago, perhaps 200--a heinous crime was committed. The passage of time has since erased it from human memory, but the lingering psychic trauma has indelibly scarred the landscape. You always had a strange affinity for this place, but in the past several months, the landscape has begun to haunt your nightmares. You have come to realize that the land is crying out for healing to all of you, the remaining relatives of the victims and the perpetrators. Over the past several weeks, you have found each other and have gathered here to set this right. To this end, you will set out upon the landscape's trails, in search of the scars that most reflect the wounds caused by this crime, mark them on your map, and ritually purify this land. Only then do you have a chance at peace.
