GM: Randy Lubin
Players: Karen Twelves, Raph D’Amico, Avital Unger, Sean Nittner, and more larp friends
System: Honor Bound (at the time called The Duel)
Honor Bound is a live action game for exactly six players, designed by Randy Lubin and Jason Morningstar.
This game explores honor culture and masculinity through the lens of an old fashioned duel. Play starts just after a challenge is issued and follows the duelists, seconds, doctor, and judge as they struggle to de-escalate a fraught situation in a society that values reputation above all else.
The game takes roughly two hours to play. It starts with a workshop that will get you up to speed on the setting and themes of the game; you’ll also establish the incident that triggered the duel. Once play begins, you’ll be struggling to de-escalate the situation even as the characters negotiate the final details of weapons, ground, and range.
