Should You Need Us

The dying Goblin King must transfer rulership to an heir, and at tonight’s masquerade this will happen! But who is who, and what other Wishes dwell in their hearts? What happens when the clock strikes thirteen, and the masks fall away? Say your right Words- for they have Power here.

Long Description

The Goblin King awoke knowing that today was his last day alive. At the end of this day, he expects to fade from life, and before that happens, he must transfer the Pathmaker to the next Ruler of the Labyrinth.

Jareth has decided to go out in his customary grand style- the Council has been summoned, and has ordered the Court to throw an elaborate Masque. Many have read this decree as politically important, and even those from far-away kingdoms have decided to attend.

All Denizens of the Labyrinth itself are welcome to join the festivities. Everyone at the Masque is waiting to see what will happen, or to make what they Wish occur. Who will wield the Pathmaker when the clock strikes thirteen and the masks fall away? Say your right Words- for they have Power here.

Inspired by the classic 80’s fantasy film Labyrinth and the subsequent Henson-approved manga Return to Labyrinth, “Should You Need Us” is a game of control, intrigue, power, wishes, political upheaval, transformation, and flights of fancy. This will be a mechanics-light, non-combat theatre style LARP.

Costumes are highly encouraged, and removable decorative masks are to be worn by all (not to be confused with covid masking) (let the GMs know if you will need help meeting the decorative mask expectation.)
