Project 42

This is a LARP I would like to run at NoBrandCon.

Everything I really need help with is highlighted in purple

Game Name: Project 42

Plot: You are a member of an elite clan of assassins. You were breed, raised and now only exist to kill for your employer.

Notes:

  • Your employer is headquarters
  • There is only one employer
  • You may never assassinate someone when they are on stage for any reason

Battle Royal: Between midnight and 3 am (times can be changed) any player can kill any player they wish to. Any player killed during this time does not respawn until the time is over. No points can be made during these three hours. Each night the player that kills the most players will earn a special prize. To perticapate in Battle Royal you must stay on the bottom level of the con and the lobby. If you are killed you are obligated to tell a GM who killed you.

Weapons: Any Balgarth legal weapon can be used to assassinate another player. So things like foam swords and nerf guns. All weapons must be presented to a GM to be safety checked. If they pass you will be given a ziptie to put on the weapon.

Player Types

  • Normal Players
  • GM's, these players float around helping players but they are also players so they can kill and be killed
  • Bookkeepers, these players can't kill or be killed, they don't have a number. These players keep track of the game

Each Player ill be given:

  • A permanent player number (I am thinking of putting these on buttons)

  • A temporary 4 digit death code (need a way to track these numbers)

  • X amount of players to target (don't know how many targets to use)

Communications to Employer

  • A call in line (probably a disposable cell phone or a hotel room)
  • A text line (I was sort of hoping to use some sort of SMS exchange, if not a disposable cell)
  • GM's floating around the con (need volunteers and a way to identify them)

Determining Targets

  • Players can not be given a target that is currently targeting them (need a way to assure this)

When a player is killed

  1. Hand over your temporary death code
  2. Communicate with your employer for a new temporary death code

To kill a player

  1. Confirm your target (check whatever slip of paper you wrote the target number down on)
  2. Approach your target and say "bang" (could use a cooler word)

  3. Take your target's death code and communicate it to HQ
  4. Go hunting for your next target or if get another target from HQ

Point System

+1 Every Legitimate Kill
-1 Every Death
-2 Collateral Damage (when you kill someone you not supposed to)

Button Ideas

  1. Black Background for normal Players
  2. Red Background for GM's
  3. White Text
  4. Must be worn visibly

Defending Yourself
If you think you are about to be assassinated you can kill your would be assassin. You don't gain any points for this, and you have to make sure that you are correct or you will receive the -2 collateral damage penalty. If you assassin has already touched you and said bang or hit you with a weapon you are already dead and it's too late.

Cheating: If you cheat you are first warned. If you cheat again you are disqualified.
