The physical Notorious Consequences is Cancelled due to the current Covid-19 situation. Instead, we plan to run an online convention throughout November. More detail will be forthcoming as we work out the details.
Faustian Speed Dating |
Faustian Speed Dating is a LARP about sorcerers and demons exploring potential partners for infernal Pacts in a speed dating scenario. "Sorcerers" are mortal humans who have had some terrible thing happen to them that makes them want to change the world and/or themselves in dramatic ways. (Said traumas are the source of many of the game's content warnings.) "Demons" are beings from Hell that are each thematically centered around some emotion, feeling, or sense. They are slyly attempting to convince Sorcerers to give their eternal soul to them to be tortured forever in exchange for great power. Said eternal tortures are often existentially or psychologically challenging. (And are also the source for many of the content warnings.) This LARP has a very comedic setup, but there is dark, serious content. The tone of given conversations is ultimately driven by the players. There may be substantial tonal shifts from conversation to conversation. (Character sheets contain both lighthearted and/or amusing facts about the characters as well as tragic and/or dark facts, and players may be discussing either with one another, depending on the nature of the demons and the preferences of the sorcerers.) This game contains references to taboo sexual practices. Players can expect to spend the LARP in a series of short one-on-one conversations and a few small group discussions. Much like a real speed dating event. This LARP is inspired by another LARP, Speed Dating for Heiresses. |

Betts, Cameron
Cameron has been running games at Intercon since the last century, but this is only his third
consequences. His preferences lean toward very few mechanics and just a smidge of
lightheartedness. He believes that the most powerful thing in LARP is a connection with another
character, and he hopes to produce games that will produce and enhance those connections, and
that will avoid overshadowing or disrupting them.
