The trip of a lifetime…
just hope you survive until wrap
Concept
The Oasis 3 is the third of a series of one-shot LARPs set in the 1930s, with players taking the roles of the cast, crew and associated “muscle” on possibly the highest budget moving picture made to date.
The game series have been 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. This episode has particular flavour from 1981’s Excalibur, and the swords and sorcery films of the 1950s such as Prince Valiant, Ivanhoe and The Adventures of Robin Hood.
In the style of Flying Lead: Nightmare, there is a possibility your character will not survive filming! There will be other opportunities to continue to play the game – but dying in a suitably climactic, cinematic way is a part of the experience!
The Trilogy?
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. The same is true for “The Frontier” – the Western put on in a supposedly haunted filmset in southern Spain.
If you played the first or second 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. It also wasn’t followed up by a sequel in a Spanish film set that was overrun by the tragic ghosts of the silent movie last filmed there and most of the cast and crew gunned down by Communist rebels. It was a perfectly normal Spaghetti Western with a reasonably fraught social dynamic – but no more than most of Hollywood!
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 next film? A historical epic, based on the Lady of the Lake. Swords, Sorcery. Stringmail.
However, the overblown budgets of the last two productions have caused some in the studio to poke their noses in, citing the recent craze for “creature features” to extend to B.B. ‘s notoriously independent conceptualising. It’s unclear if he’ll be allowed his usual creative freedom, or if Summerisle Studios will insist on… additional measures. There have been rumblings that a famous actor may be making their directorial debut alongside Mr Nelson, and Hollywood types are well-known for having little in the way of ego when it comes to the billing.
In the meantime, he and his regular Director of Photography Mark Valentine have secured the rights to shoot on an island in the middle of the Irish Sea to ensure a closed set and plenty of opportunities for picturesque shots. The Isle of Lear falls under the jurisdiction of the newly formed Ministry of Defence, and the use of such a remote location should ensure that there are no bothersome outside elements.
All Cast, Filmcrew and Security will take a commandeered passenger ship from Dublin and stay in the unit base in a ramshackle abandoned town that will be spruced up for the production with the glamour of cinema!
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.
