All Hail the Machine King

Author

By Daniel Carleton


Background

All Hail the Machine King is a larp about the Mechanicans, an underground cult of humans who augment their bodies with cybernetic parts in order to become closer to their machine god. Through out time, their different beliefs have caused them to split in sub factions, which slowly turned to hatred, jealousy, and eventually, war. Only one can solve this crisis, and reunite the Mechanians, The one known as the Machine King.

Players will compete with each other to sit at the throne of the Machine King. This will involve making strong alliances with others, watching out for backstabbers, and possibly doing a bit of backstabbing of your own. Characters will be augmented with "cybernetic parts" which will enhance their bodies beyond that of the weak fleshy humans. However there is a catch, and cybernetic parts are known to be affected by certain things that don't affect the flesh. For example, like high powered magnets...

This larp will be a light hearted comedy, and things will probably get crazy. You have been warned.
