BREVISCHOLA - A CUSTOM SHORT COURSE MAGISCHOLA AT YOUR OWN LOCATION

Would you like to take a course at New World Magischola, but can’t attend the 4-day events? Or maybe you’re attending the event and you *still* want your own private lessons? Now you can bring Ben and Maury, the writers and organizers of New World Magischola (or other members of Learn Larp), directly to you to run a fun, four-hour Brevischola larp just for you and up to 24 other friends (total participants planned for is 25). Brevischola is a self-contained Magischola short course. This event would be planned for a mutually agreed-upon date between the donor and Learn Larp. It must be planned 90 days in advance, and must be held August 2016 or later.

What do you get?

Ben and Maury (or other members of Learn Larp) will travel to you, anywhere in the continental United States and much of Canada, to run this event for you at your location. You’re responsible for selecting a location of your choice that meets the requirements for the event (space, electricity, access to bathroom, etc.) and inviting your friends and colleagues. Learn Larp will bring a custom scenario consisting of one of the following:

Brevischola: Ritual Magic: The eccentric and equivocating professor of Ritual Magic and their assistant will take you through a lesson in rituals, using various magical traditions. When the class enacts the ritual, something goes awry, and the students have to save the day and set this universe right again. At least we hope they do. Players will be students and members of one of the New World Magischola Houses: Dan Obeah, Casa Calisaylá, Maison DuBois, House Croatan, and Lakay Laveau and will receive character concepts ahead of time.

Brevischola: Runic Magic: The professor of Runic Magic is under a Confusa Curse and can’t quite get their memory and runes to work correctly. They need help cracking the codes and solving the puzzle that a mysterious extra-planar entity has left. If students do it in time, the professor will be restored to full mental faculties and the Poltergeist will be banished. Solve it incorrectly or not fast enough? The consequences are unknown, but sure to not be good. Players will be students and members of one of the New World Magischola Houses: Dan Obeah, Casa Calisaylá, Maison DuBois, House Croatan, and Lakay Laveau and will receive character concepts ahead of time. (Suitable for ages 11 and up; two levels of difficulty)

Brevischola: Explorers of the Eternal: You’ve been invited to a meeting of the Magimundi Secret Society, The Explorers of the Eternal. It’s a gathering of cursebreakers, artificiers, healers, Marshals, and cryptozoologists who are most interested in the unique and esoteric magical artifacts and theories. During the meeting, the Professor of Magiarcheology and their assistant will guide you through the discovery of unique artifacts in the Magimundi, all of which have interesting effects. Perhaps you will bring an artifact of your own to show to the group? After all, we are all about sharing the knowledge, and preserving all artifacts and spells, no matter what the laws of the Council of Five may say.

Brevischola: Free the Faun! You’ll meet the Professor of Cryptozoology and their assistant as they lead you on a quest to find the Faun who is has become trapped in the forest. The Faun will need healing and care, and will not always cooperate as planned. Fauns can be tricky, and working with magical fauna and flora can turn up unexpected results. This is designed as a very accessible, entry level larp without complicated characters or rules to learn. (Designed for ages 11 and up; absolutely fun for all ages. This is intended for an outdoor location, but could be modified for an indoor Cryptozoology lesson about Fauns, ecologies and magical thinking.)
