Medea's diary

It’s not just the four of you passing a night in the woods. You are the fulcrum of many more things that will happen on Earth. And some of them will come back to read, write or rip the pages of your lives. Will your words and thoughts be the seeds of the sixth mass extinction?

This is an asymmetrical larp that you can play in a gaming convention or other public venues where you can have a lot of people passing by; or you can play it outdoor, like in a park or a forest; or you can play it online.

The four main players will play a group of friends in their 20-something, going on a hike in the Italian Alps; they’ll spend a night together before they part from each other and go to study in different parts of Europe. One of them, Maria Elena, is keeping a diary; this diary, in the future decades and centuries, will become the foundation of many movements, groups and even religions. This night marks a fulcrum in human history: people from the future will briefly appear during the night and will try to understand the origin of the sacred text of Medea’s diary.
