Introduction
City of Dreams is a persistent 24/7 LARP which can be run in any city. Players portray characters in a dream world which shares geography with the real world. In the Dreaming, you can engage in politics, fight monsters and other players in real-time boffer combat, and help decide the fate of the Dream Country.
When / Where Can I play?
The Dreaming is always going on. Any time you wish to play, put on the Game Badge. This signals to other players that you are "in-game", and are a character who they may interact with. Generally, you will want to play at the same time as other players. We recommend the evenings, at a pre-agreed on spot. Check the internet for your local Dreaming group to find when and where people generally gather and play. It is common to play in local parks, college campus, or other relatively secluded spots where one can get into a boffer fight without accidentally clocking someone.
How do I play?
You build a character using our game rules. Among other things, you will pick a race, a class, and a few skills. This gives you the ability to fight with boffer weapons, throw spells, or perform other game actions which can harm other players.
Everybody has to keep track of their own skills and injuries. The Dreaming is run on the honor system. If you are caught cheating, or your play is otherwise disruptive, a local rules committee can ban you from the game for a period of time.
While in-game, you will portray a character in the Dreaming. You do not have to wear a costume or talk in a funny accent. Your character will make friends and enemies with other characters, and participate in ongoing stories and adventures. Some of the plot will be run by the game's staff, local players who have volunteered to maintain the Dreaming, but much of the plot is generated by other players.
Certain places in your city are hotspots for the game, and may be points for action or intrigue. A park, restaurant, or trail through the woods can have a special meaning to characters in the Dreaming. They may be able to take special actions there which affect the Dream Country or its residents.
