We have karaoke, a ball, a pro-wrestling party LARP, and LARPs running in the fantasy worlds of The Dresden Files (Butcher) and The Kingkiller Chronicles (Rothfuss), to name just a few. On that score: if you can help me promote in any way or have ideas, please email me back and let me know.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Since we have some great, low-bar-to-entry games and lots of special events, I also wanted to encourage staff and department heads to consider participating in a LARP or two, even if you just drop by for a bit. That goes especially for those who haven’t LARPed before. I know everyone’s busy, but we promise to show you an awesome time—even if you only have a moment to cheer on a wrestler, have a dance, or sing a song. <span style='font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif'>😊</span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Best,</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Tara (and all of us here in LARPs)</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
