The Parting Line

Long Description

Every relationship, romantic, platonic, or something else, eventually comes to an end. Endings are rarely easy – but you don’t have to go through them alone. If you are grieving a future you could have had with your ex, struggling to process the ending of a friendship, or simply coming to terms with the fact that you aren’t the right person, you may find yourself aboard the Parting Line. The Parting Line, piloted by its eccentric conductor, is a train that appears only to those that need it. There, they have space to grapple with their feelings – and to help others do the same.

The Parting Line is a horde LARP for 5-12 people about the many ways relationships come to an end. Players may play one character over the course of the entire game, or switch out their characters at every train stop. The Parting Line is a game about processing feelings with others, by yourself, or through art. Gameplay consists of conversations between players. Additionally, crayons and paper will be provided to the players to allow them to create art, independently or collaboratively, to express their characters’ feelings.
