[http://www.livegamelabs.com/ Live Game Labs] is a consortium of roughly a dozen veteran LARP designers and GMs in the Greater Los Angeles area. Most of them have strong associations with Enigma, the UCLA speculative fiction and gaming club. Enigma members designed over 100 multi-genre, multi-system larps starting in 1988. A handful of Enigma larp designers founded LGL in 2009 with the name “Enigma Live Game Labs”, but dropped the "Enigma" moniker a year later. They have had a heavy presence at [[WyrdCon]], the Southern California interactive storytelling convention.

Mission statement

LGL is an independent organization for the promotion of LARPs run by its members.

Their general style of events are:

  • Roughly 12-30 players per game, although they have had both more and fewer players
  • One-shot events running for one night only, or a series of one-shot larps with a single narrative spread over month, although Starship Valkyrie is a continuing campaign
  • Theater-style
  • Thematically diverse: historical, science fiction, horror, fantasy, westerns, crossover genres, adaptations of known shows, movies, comics, as well as experimental larps such as STEEDS

History

Many of the founding members of the LGL have strong historical associations with Enigma, the UCLA speculative fiction and gaming club. A handful of Enigma larp designers founded LGL in 2009 with the name "Enigma Live Game Labs", but dropped the "Enigma" moniker a year later. Over the past few years, more designers have joined the organization, and the connection to Enigma has diluted. The LGL have had a strong presence at Wyrdcon every year.
