About This Group

    Enigma Live Game Labs is a consortium of some twenty-odd (yes, odd!) experienced LARP designers in the Greater Los Angeles area. Many of us have strong historical associations with Enigma, the UCLA speculative fiction, fantasy, horror and gaming club, which independently ‘invented’ the idea of live role-playing games in the late 1980’s. We were by no means the first, but our live games (as we called our LARPs before the word LARP even existed) have evolved in their own way.
     
    The ELGL is an independent organization for the promotion of LARPs run by our members. Our general syle of LARP can be described as:
     
    1. Roughly 12-30 players per game.
    2. One-shot events running for one night only, or a series of one-shot larps with a single narrative spread over months.
    3. Theater-style.
    4. Thematically diverse: historical, science fiction, horror, fantasy, western, crossover genres, adaptations of known shows, movies, comics, etc., experiments, and larps you’ve never thought possible!
     
    We’re always experimenting, so out next larp might throw all of the above out the airlock! Be sure to check back with us.

    Hello

    This is the first post for a group of very creative veteran larp GMs that met through Enigma, UCLA's science fiction, fantasy, horror and gaming fan club (going on 25 years old). 

    One campaign game that just launched is Deadwood, loosely based on the HBO show about a real town in the Old West.

    In 2010, we'll be running a game of Limbo! at Intercon J outside Boston, but the big launch party will be at Wyrd Con One, June 11-13 in Costa Mesa, CA.

    We've reserved the penthouse of the hotel, and have six games planned to run in that very swank private room (it has a hot tub and a wet bar) as part of Wyrd Con.

    Our main website is here.

    Good gaming!
