A fantasy kink party larp.

Long Description

It's early spring, the rains are dying down, and the whole city's come alive for the yearly carnival. The parade's finished, the sun's set, masked revelers are trading kissing beads in the streets, and there's plenty of people looking for a cozy nook to have some fun. And whether you're a regular or a newcomer, the Frog's Lantern Wayhouse & Inn, with legendary chicken pies down one hall and a lavishly stocked dungeon down the other, looks like the perfect spot...

The Carnival of Glories is a kink party larp. It takes place in queer-normative, kink-normative fantasy world where people are wired a bit differently from what we know. Though it takes different forms and means different things to different people, everybody has an intrinsic need to exchange power, either as a dominant or a submissive. The ways in which that weaves through identity, sexuality, and differing cultural expectations about relationships is a core pillar of this game. This is a slice-of-life larp, not a big-dramatic-events larp. Characters are here to develop their relationships, process their feelings, hang out, party, and play.

This game will primarily use Ars Amandi to simulate intimacy, along with some extra gestures particular to this world. (This is not a no-touch game.) If players wish, they may also negotiate up to unsimulated kink play. (Light to moderate bondage and impact play; clothes stay on. This will be limited to a specific section of gamespace not visible from the door.) The runtime includes several workshops, both to teach the Ars Amandi and other gestures, and to deepen players' connections to each other, their characters, and the world.
