Threads of Damocles
Threads of Damocles is a multi-genre live Roleplaying Campaign focused on strong character development and exciting roleplay.
Threads takes place in a shattered universe, where various shards of time and place mix after an event splintered the continuum.
Threads emphasizes the idea of smooth roleplay with people who put character and story above mechanics.
Some parts of the universe represent historical reality, while others are "fictional," born of ideas reflected in the chaos of destruction
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 most other PCs.
- Real dining! Not stew and burgers. Our kitchen is equipped to produce full meals at good quality, and food is a major concern for us. We are an adult game, and responsible social drinking is permitted.
- Full time cast pay $25 and can expect to receive varied meaty acting roles. Cast are NOT an ignored and marginalized minority, but are integrated tightly into the game world.
- Full time players pay about $95 per weekend, but those willing to do some cast or tech work pay $75 or less. Food is included.
Threads runs five to six times annually. There are spring and fall events at an indoor site in the Baltimore-Washington area, and summer events at a private campsite in central PA which provides water, facilities, and limited electricity.
