Content Concerns for the Tales of the Future
First, your safety during play is critical. If you have any concerns, let's talk privately about those concerns beforehand. We want you and everyone else in the game to have a good experience. These LARPs, like many others, may not be suitable for all players.
Second, this is a LARP for adults. It is not suitable for children.
Third, it is difficult to summarize complex Tale issues into a brief description. This is our best attempt to spell out what we and our editors believe are the sensitive subjects. It is, by the nature of LARP, incomplete, because we don't have knowledge of or control over what you and the other players may bring to the environment. Again, if you have concerns, let's talk about it beforehand.
Volume 1 contains stories of death and the choices we make about it. Not everyone can be saved. One Tale talks of heinous crime, murder, and medical experimentation, to that level of detail ‐ and is much more about the punishment for those crimes. One Tale deals with the aftermath of an abusive relationship and the art that comes out of it. There are also themes dealing with economic and social inequality.
Volume 2 contains stories of incomprehensible alien attacks, leading to death and destruction on a planetary scale, or greater. One Tale asks what kind of revenge might be appropriate for genocide, if any. One Tale has one race making a vital decision for another without consent. One Tale deals with a climate catastrophe and its aftermath. There are Tales where the life or death of an entire civilization, or many of them, are in the hands of just a few.
Finally, it's also difficult to summarize complex Tales asking interesting and hard ethical moral dilemmas in a way that doesn't make them all sound like terrible experiences. We want the Tales to challenge you, to get you thinking, to see what answers you can find. There is also some comedy, some lighter moments, and some content that doesn't need an explicit warning. Just ask anyone who's played one of our other Tale LARPs. It's why our Tale LARPs run over and over again, with new audiences asking us to run them.
