LASER LARP: The Void Fantastic

Our beautiful universe!

📢 The moment we have been waiting for is here. delivers deepest infrared image of Universe yet in special briefing. Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, this image features the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, which is overflowing with detail.

The image – which focuses on a spot in the sky that, from the perspective of someone on the ground, is about the size of what would be covered by a grain of sand held at arm’s length – reveals thousands of galaxies, including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared.

“What an incredible honour for ESA and its international partners to reveal Webb’s first image from the White House,” says ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher.

“Only with teamwork, dedication, and the human drive to push boundaries and explore have we arrived at this historical moment of seeing the deepest view of the early Universe to date.”

Happy Halloween from Laser LARP!

Greetings Starfarers! We still plan to launch this LARP this year, we are working with our gracious hosts to understand what science based guidelines for gathering in the unique space will be. Thank you for your patience!

Hi folks; with the advent of new vaccination rules in our state we are going to be investigating multiple arenas of guidance from both the state and county as well as the venue. We hope to have clear guidelines for our events to be posted before the end of the month. That said if you are interested in taking on a role as a gamerunner we will be posting a few notices soon, so please watch this space as our expected initial even capacity will likely be larger than initially expected and we want to make sure that we are providing a quality experience for all. Thank you for your support over this very strange and unique time! - Laser Larp Staff

Greetings Starfarers! We respect and appreciate our Trans participants, gamerunners and allies. We’re pleased to offer non-gendered character templates at our games so that participants can express their gender identity freely through Starfarer characters whether or not they feel safe to do so outside of the game or not. Role-playing games offer an important safe outlet for marginalized folks to express themselves, and we are proud to embrace that. Some sci-fi species have been specifically designed for gender fluidity to offer in-canon opportunities for participants to safely embody concepts that might be different than their own personal experiences, allowing empathy through role-play. Character and participant pronouns will both be displayed and respected during our sessions.

At LASER LARP we’re always talking about ways to keep participants and gamerunners safe at our events. Since the events of LASER LARP take place on the fictional lunar colony Luna Base and in one of three Starships during the Starship phase, we’ve developed printable face shields with a space helmet motif that can be used in conjunction with masks to create excellent in-genre safety barriers and the feeling of really being in your space suit. The face shields will be $10, folded into the participants tickets, customizable with your character name and will be yours to keep. This is only one of the ways that we are considering safety as we consider how best to reopen events. More to come!
