Threads of Damocles

Threads of Damocles is a multi-genre Live Roleplaying Campaign (LARP) focused on strong character development and exciting interpersonal roleplay. The Threads of Damocles game takes place in a shattered universe, where various shards of time, place, and reality mix after a tragic event splintered the space, time continuum as we understand it in the world today. Some parts of the Threads universe represent a near historical reality, while others are purely fictional, born of ideas reflected in the chaos of destruction. The members of the Threads community emphasize roleplay and tend to de-emphasize cumbersome game mechanics. Threads allows every participant to focus on genres and themes that are interesting to them. Threads introduces a background that allows for modular scenes. If your fascination is (for example) T'ang Dynasty China, we can spend a little time and energy recreating that time and place and letting you experience it! The group itself is close-knit and friendly with an active outreach program to welcome new players. Some things you can expect: An excellent writing staff, producing quality enjoyable material aimed at a diverse audience. New players are valued right away, and may start reasonably experienced characters equivalent to already existent player characters. Real dining! Our kitchen is equipped to produce full meals at good quality. Meal prices are built into the cost of admission. We are an adult game; responsible social drinking is permitted. Full time cast pay $25 and can expect to receive varied "meaty" acting roles. Cast are not ignored or marginalized, but are integrated tightly into the game world. Full time players pay about $85 per weekend, but those willing to do some cast or tech work pay $55. Threads runs three events annually, generally once each in the early spring, summer, and late fall. It is currently running at "The Manse", a beautiful Edwardian manor in Hagerstown, MD.
