Title:: Be Queer, Always Resist
Summary:: How odd is it that you've developed an intense sexual relationship with Artemis, the massive spaceship that carries you across space?
Description:: How odd is it that you’ve developed an intense sexual relationship with Artemis, the massive passenger spaceship that carries you across the vastness of space? This LARP explores sex and intimacy among the inhabitants of a space ship, Artemis. It explores these complex issues through arm, shoulder, and neck touching between participants, and explicit description, but absolutely no non-simulated sexual activity. Time will be taken at the beginning of the session to ensure that all participants understand and affirm strategies for maintaining player safety and consent, including a discussion of touching rules and that a player can freely leave during the session. A cool-down period will end the session, in which players can discuss their experiences. Potential players should read the rules text, available at: https://caitlynnbelle.itch.io/artemis

Title:: Bystander Training for Gamers
Summary:: This workshop will help gamers recognize & intervene in problematic situations during games making gaming safe for all.
Description:: As gamers, we have all had things happen in our games which we look back on and wish we had responded differently to. Whether it be someone being treated unfairly or as simple as an imbalance in who gets to talk the most. Realizing that social barriers and micro-aggressions exist which make gaming less enjoyable or even miserable for some gamers, we can actively train ourselves to know when and how to speak up, help out, and make our beloved hobby a safe and enjoyable space for everyone. This workshop will give allies and gamers from underrepresented groups tools to recognize and respond to micro-agressions and other problematic situations during games. Through conscious practice we can work to ward off problems, recognize problems, and intervene when they arise.

Title:: Cthulhu Wars
Summary:: The Old Ones have risen. Monsters walk the Earth. Humanity is finished but the struggle continues. Which Great Old One will rule the ruins of Earth? Now, you take charge in this miniatures board game.
Description:: Cthulhu Wars is a combination of strategic gaming and Lovecraftian horror about the end of the world. You take part in various monstrous aliens seeking to dominate the world. You can play as Great Cthulhu himself, or you can take charge of the other factions, such as the slithering hordes of the Crawling Chaos, or the insane minions of the Yellow Sign. Earn and cast spells and summon monsters unique to your own Faction. Each Faction is strikingly different in tactics and techniques. A strategy that works for the Black Goat will be ineffective for the Crawling Chaos. The game is for 2-4 players. Each Faction has multiple unique strategies for winning, so Cthulhu Wars has incredible depth and replay value.
