Alma Mater
Run 2: 10th-13th April 2025
About Us
Design Philosophy
Alma Mater is a collaborative experience. The Team may write and design the larp, but it does not reach its final form and content until the participants have interpreted their characters and played the larp
​
Our Team are all feminist, socially liberal and left-leaning. The themes of our writing are inevitably influenced by that world view. Our feminism is not incompatible with the historical themes of sexism in the larps we write. The stories of historical women are all the more compelling when they are told in the context of the marginalisation which they experienced. We have found that ‘gender neutral’ settings often end up defaulting to telling male stories.
​
We want every participant at our event to take something useful from it, and we want the same thing! In fact we think it is the duty of everyone at a larp to try to both have fun and make sure the people around them have fun. We take the view that if every participant in a larp comes to it with that attitude, everyone benefits.
​
We are not profit making. We are volunteers helping people tell stories. We look forward to larping with you.
