Capped at 40 players and 30 crew.
The Oasis 2 is a one-shot LARP set in 1934, with players taking the roles of the cast, crew and associated “muscle” on possibly the highest budget moving picture made to date.
Using the “Nightmare Rules” we’ve created and used at other EYELarp games with a high body count, the LARP Award “Game of the Year” winning event took place, but in THIS reality, it was a totally normal film shoot, with all the normal trials and tribulations that involves.
If you played the first Oasis event and your character died – do not worry! This is an alternate reality where they are alive and well. Feel free to roleplay elements of it as a strange dream you had after too many oysters if you wish, but the events of the last game are not part of the narrative of this one.
It DIDN’T turn out that half the cast and crew were Immortal beings who had visited the mysterious island at some point in the previous 3000 years and been recruited into a family of murderous cultists.
The Oasis was a totally normal production, which though going horrendously over budget, was a smash hit at the 6th Academy Awards, winning Outstanding Production (also called “Best Picture”), Best Actor in the form of Clark Daytona in the role of Sergeant Albert Jones, and having not one but three actresses from the production shortlisted in the category of Best Actress. Lydia Keye, Florence Montgelas and Matilda Baptiste were all beaten by Katherine Hepburn, but rumours of an altercation at the afterparty between the four women have been circulating for months.
Many agree it was unfair of Ms. Keye to sub-in her stunt double for the fight.
Director B.B. Nelson is keen to keep the momentum going with a new production. Some of the same cast and crew have been offered contracts to return, others have already been picked up by other film crews in Hollywood and beyond.
This time, B.B. is keen to film something new… something not seen on film since the heyday of silent film… A Western!
He has secured the rights to shoot in a recently reopened set in Spain, which was closed for a decade after all productions were shut down during the Spanish coup d’etat of 1923 and following years of Military dictatorship under General Primo de Rivera.
The Second Spanish Republic is keen to be seen as a place of new ideas, new technologies and new money, and the cash injection from Summerisle Studios is very much welcomed by the fledgling socialist government.
All Cast, Filmcrew and Security are travelling to Grenada to make their way to the film set deep in the hills of Sierra Nevada, which has been a Western-style Ghost Town since a fateful night in 1923 when production suddenly stopped amidst an armed takeover…
_____________________________
If that’s whet your appetite, some OC information now:
The Oasis is inspired by movies set in and around the Golden Age of Hollywood, such as 1933’s King Kong, 2000’s Shadow of the Vampire and 1952’s Singin’ in the Rain, and also pulpy classics set in the 1930s such as 1999’s The Mummy and 1981’s Raiders of the Lost Ark.
In the style of Flying Lead: Nightmare, there is a high likelihood your character will not survive filming! There will be other opportunities of continuing to play the game – but dying in a suitably climactic, cinematic way is a part of the experience!
As with all our games, The Oasis is set on a fictional pocket of history to allow all potential players to have fun with the inter-war adventure aesthetic without worry of discrimination based on “historical attitudes”. Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and any language or attitudes of a discriminatory nature are not welcome at our event.
We will be capping tickets at 40 players and 30 crew, and tickets will be available for the following four IC roles:
– 10x Cast – anything from the Starlet or the Grand Dame to the down-on-his-luck character actor desperately trying to revitalise his career
– 20x Filmcrew – barring Director and Cameraman and some head of department roles, everything else is up for grabs
– 10x Security – bruisers and enforcers hired to ensure the studio’s investment is protected without a hitch.
