<p>Jducoeur: </p> <hr /> <div>A '''parasite game''' is one which takes place within another event, e.g. a science-fiction convention.

<p>Jducoeur: /* Example games */</p> <hr /> <div>A '''weekend-long theatre-style game''', also known as a '''Theatre style full-length''' game, is a [[theatre-style]] game which runs for an entire weekend (typically Friday evening until Sunday afternoon). <br /> <br /> The [[Society for Interactive Literature]] and [[New England larp community]] originally ran larps in this format, originally as part of science fiction conventions (making them [[parasite game]]s) and then at [[Intercon|SiLiCon]] or as standalone events.&lt;ref&gt;Nat Budin, &quot;Over Time: Intercon and the evolution of theatre-style larp in the Northeast&quot;, in ''[[WyrdCon Companion 2012]]'', p. 61.&lt;/ref&gt; The format was gradually overtaken by shorter &quot;convention games&quot; during the mid 1990s, and while some classic games are still run, very few are still written.<br /> <br /> ==Example games==<br /> * [[All Quiet on the Potomac]]<br /> * [[Cafe Casablanca]]<br /> * [[Operation: Atlantis]]<br /> * [[Shakespeare's Lost Play]]<br /> * [[Once Upon A Time in Tombstone]]<br /> * [[Rekon-1]]<br /> * [[RMS Titanic]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Glossary]]<br /> [[Category:Styles]]<br /> [[Category:Theater Style Game]]<br /> [[Category:Weekend-long games]]</div>
