Workshops

Dark and Lonely Water will involve pre- and post- game workshops .

Thursday, 1pm-5pm

Pre-game workshops will begin at 1pm. There will be a short briefing on the setting, discussion of mechanics and metatechniques, exercises through which characters can flesh out pre-existing relationships and some short private roleplay scenes where characters can explore pivotal moments in their past. The aim of these workshops is to build a sense of character, and of shared history to facilitate immersion in the game to follow.

Saturday night, after Time Out

There will be a debrief after the game, to formally leave the characters behind, to reflect on any positive or negative emotions that have emerged through the course of the game, and to depart from the horrors of the game-world. After that an evening of socialising is planned! And sleep.
