You walk into the gathering, eyes scanning the assembled crowd for allies and enemies, potential threats and opportunities for gain. There, on the far side, stands your rival amidst his fellows. For a brief second, your eyes meet, and he smiles. Is it a smile of welcome? Unlikely. Heart accelerating, you steady yourself and step forward. Every word you speak, every move you make, every action you take will be of your own choosing and played out live. You’re there, on center stage, an actor amidst a troupe with an unscripted play ready to unfold. Will you succeed?

This is live-action roleplaying (or “LARP” for short).

The way your character walks and talks is shaped directly by the words you choose and the actions you take. You’re right there, in the middle of a story shaped by the decisions made by you and your fellow players. In a LARP, players portray fictional personas , like actors in a free-form play. For over fifteen years LARP games have provided a new creative outlet for roleplaying games.

We are working on a version of Imperivm in a LARP playable format to release alongside the *Imperivm TCG* and the *Veridion Campaign RPG.*
