This is on my short list for games I want at Nerdly, and top of the list of games I can't run.
As in, it won't work if I am primary facilitator. It needs to be facilitated by someone who normally performs femininity. I could co-facilitate, but I cannot facilitate it.
Volunteers?

At Dreamation, I got to run Autonomy with the help of co-conspirator, er, facilitator Mikael Andersson. It went really well and gave me the motivation that I needed to polish up the layout and put it up for sale, because Autonomy is finished, polished, and does EXACTLY what it is designed to do.
What is Autonomy? Autonomy is a LARP that allows men to have an embodied experience of sexism through reversing the gendered scripts of socialization and power dynamics. It accommodates 6-9 players plus 2 facilitators and requires 2 - 2.5 hours to play.
If you'd like to know more about what the experience of playing it is like, the wonderful Tara Clapper talks about it here at about 50 minutes in: https://blab.im/tara-m-clapper-rollforgeekinit-presents-larp-chat-live-dreamation-wrap-up-1 or you can read this post I wrote on my blog about my experiences in running the first playtest: http://tinyurl.com/j2f76w4
Autonomy is Pay What You What, and is available through my storefront on PayHip. Pay as much or as little as you feel it's worth - all I ask is that if you choose to pay me for it, please pay at least $1 because the PayPal fees get really nuisancy below that level.

I might be mean enough...it's brutal though
ReplyDeleteI'll put you on my unofficial list, Misha B !
ReplyDeleteThis restriction actually makes me want to co-facilitate this a lot more. Hmm...
ReplyDeleteWill you be at Nerdly, Kevin Farnworth ?
ReplyDeletePretty unlikely. I live in Ottawa, but I might be on the south edge of Virginia around then for work? That's only a couple hours drive...
