After Party

Your ten-year high school reunion was loud and crowded, so when you got invited to an after party, you gladly accepted. This is your chance to reconnect more closely with a few special people, to say the things you were too scared to in high school, to catch up on how everyone's changed, help out your friends, and maybe finally get to make-out with your old crush.

After Party is a character-interaction driven, real-world game about sexuality, alternative sexuality, identity, romance, friendship, and change. The game uses the Ars Armandi mechanics to simulate physical intimacy.

Your ten-year high school reunion was loud and crowded, so when you got invited to an after party, you gladly accepted. A small gathering of friends and acquaintances, the people you knew from musical theater, Hebrew school, D&D, or the gay-straight alliance. This is your chance to reconnect more closely with a few special people, to say the things you were too scared to in high school, to catch up on how everyone's changed, help out your friends, and maybe finally get to make-out with your old crush.
