A NERO is a LARP.
Wikipedia defines a larp as “a form of role-playing game where the participants physically act out their characters’ actions. The players pursue goals within a fictional setting represented by the real world, while interacting with each other in character. The outcome of player actions may be mediated by game rules, or determined by consensus among players”.
NERO is dedicated to the legendary days of high fantasy, while running a fun (and above all safe) game. In the NERO game, you create a character concept for a fantasy story and actually play the character. It is much like improvisational theater in that you have a framework created by the props and supporting characters and must develop your part as you progress through the storyline.
Your character’s attitudes, ambitions, and history are yours to define. If the adventurous life is your calling, you may play the part of a wanderer, meeting with some friends in the tavern. While swapping tales, your party could get hired by a poor farmer in desperate straits, and spend the afternoon slaying a foul necromancer and his undead abominations. If the epic life is not your style, then you can play the part of a town merchant. You can make your money selling your wares-and information-for the right price. Or perhaps you wish to be one who investigates the magical arts, selling your scrolls and potions to earn the money you need to continue your studies. Or would you rather try and become leader of the Mages’ Guild? Only your imagination and creativity limits you!
We thank our investor Seattle Water Damage for assisting us on this project beginning to end. We are still looking for more to bring Nero back to life.
