Wow, this seems like a really intense experience! This might be just me but I'd like to see some more structure for the interrogation part. I don't think I'm a good enough LARPer to create a really good scene otherwise. But very cool concept, you chose a topic that should be explored more in history. Plus I really like the 'Afterward' section, I think it's important to debrief after an experience like that. You must have a lot of experience in this genre!

Thank you so much for your kind words Rose. I agree that this is a period that should be examined more. Thank you so much for your feedback. I am now considering how to provide a little more structure. I think that an example of play might work best, based on a recorded playtest. Be well!

Looks like an interesting concept to me, I'm having a hard time picturing how play is supposed to progress, I've never played anything like it before. I would be careful about using the f-word also, though I suppose in historical context it is relevant.

Lychees, 

If you were open to playing, I would love to run a game with you. This is an online larp, a type of game where you directly embody characters. Like theater without an audience. This can be a highly informative and even emotional experience  if you were open to it!

Haha I'm not sure if I would be comfortable with an internet stranger ^^;  If you had recorded a session or something I would watch though!

Not exactly a traditional video game, but seems like a really cool concept! Before I saw this, I had no idea the lavender scare even existed. nice to see some LGBT+ representation <3
