A Garden of Forking Paths

By Susan Weiner, Vito D’Agosto & Nat Budin
Players: 12
Genre: Nordic, tale-telling
Each
year, Barbara has a garden party for her birthday. She brings her family to
enjoy a quiet meal in her beautiful and well-tended garden. This game charts
the course of her life and the lives of those around her through the decisions
made at these parties.
A
Garden of Forking Paths is a LARP told in scenes. This is a game heavily
inspired by Jeep format, not a traditional LARP. In each scene, four characters
will face certain dilemmas, and make decisions that will affect the course of
their lives. At the same time, two other groups of players will be playing the
same characters and, possibly, making different decisions. Between scenes,
players will be shuffled into different groups. They will generally play the
same characters, but those characters may have made different decisions in the
prior scene, causing them to start the next scene in a different situation.
