Live Game Labs

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.

LGL is an independent organization for the promotion of LARPs run by our members. Their general style of live action role playing events are described as:

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, by Christian Brown, is a continuing monthly 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.
