Jeepform Sampler

Motherhood, sexual temptation, facing mid-life, murders and hauntings: Jeepform is part of a nordic tradition of scene-based role playing games, written for a small group of folks to have an intense experience. Join us and pick an offering from our Jeepform Sampler. Choose from Let the World Burn, Under my Skin, Doubt, Previous Occupants, Remodel and The Mothers. Participants 18 and over only.

Long Description

In this session, we'll offer up to four games (of the players' choice) in the Jeepform-style tradition. The group will pick two to four games to play, and GMs Lizzie, Emily, Evan and Ajit will each run one. Each game will be played out in a series of scenes, and will be cast at the convention, and uses meta-techniques such as playing out flashback scenes or having players share inner monologues of their character's feelings. Many games have some pre-scripted events. Participants 18 and over only.

Pick from:
Let the World Burn, an award winning Danish scenario, written for Fastaval 2011. Three people have lost the one they love most, and they follow a lyrical and destructive quest--accompanied by Love and Destruction personified--to find out what was her fate.

Under my Skin, an award winning jeepform game, run at Intercon I, about a group of lovers and friends who start to fall in love all with the wrong people. What choices to they make? What lines do they cross?

Doubt, a classic jeepform about temptation, the importance of loving and being loved. About constant choosing. About living with one person, and at the same time dreaming about others. Two players portray the actors Tom and Julie, and two portray the characters they're playing on stage.

Remodel, a new jeepform game. Four women face mid-life changes and share their pain as they help one friend remodel her house as they remodel their lives.

The Upgrade!, a wild jeepform game about a reality show in which couples swap partners, a la Temptation Island and the like. The game showcases a variety of jeepform techniques such as telegraphing, contextualization, and monologues.

The Journey, a psychological jeepform game. A group of survivors makes their way through a post-apocalyptic landscape. Facing the dangers inside each other is far harsher than the wasted world itself.

The Tribunal, a parlor-larp style jeepform. 12 Soldiers in the final war wait while the military judges decide their fate. What is loyalty, and who are your friends?

Happy Ends, a jeepform meant to make you happy. To this end, we will explore difficult and beautiful situations, trying to make situations positive rather than negative. The game contains three threads: a woman dealing with the loss of her mother to Alzheimer's, a selection of scenes tied to that story, and family counseling scenes.

Trigger Warnings: All games have adult, potentially troubling or intense material and are played in a manner that encourages emotional resonance between player and character. Specific problematic issues which may come up include: infidelity, loss, sex, rape, emotional abuse, and metaphorical play.
