END OF THE LINE
A LOW POWERS VIEW OF THE WORLD OF DARKNESS

Getting on the guest list for the ‘The Line’ means that you have made it. Elusive and illegal, this club is the place to be.

 

The Line has more drugs, weirder sex, cooler dance moves and better music than anywhere else. Here the rich and the poor mix with the criminal and the insane.

 

Rumor has it that all guests might not leave the party alive. But those are only rumors – what matters is that you are finally invited!

​

White Wolf and PDA invite you to try a whole new way of Vampire larping – an evening with mortals and neonates, far from the wars and big decisions that shape their World. Explore how the dynamics of the Masquerade affect mortals and control the lives of the denizens of the night.

​

The larp has two runs during WoD Berlin: Wednesday May 10th and Thursday May 11th. It runs from 14.00 to approximately midnight and supports 90 participants. Please be at the location at 13:30 at the latest.

The location is:
Museum Kesselhaus

Herzbergstraße 79

Haus 29

10365 Berlin

​

End of the Line is a high-intensity, low-mechanics larp, with a what-you-see-is-what-you-get aesthetic. It is played in a collaborative and physical style with a strong focus on mechanics for consent. It is a one-shot larp with no sequels to allow you to experience the most satisfying story for your character: the tragic death, the impossible choice, the unwilling embrace, the devastating betrayal, the exhilarating escape…

​

Who are the humans who party with monsters? Are they monsters themselves? Expect an intense personal experience, engaging with character psychology, messed-up relationship dynamics and personal horror. There will be no time to brood though – the setting is a nightclub and the larp is built like a night out clubbing. Your character will be dancing, romancing and enjoying their life/unlife!

The Line has two simple rules:

 

If you want to do something, do it!
If you hold back, you will not be invited again!


So you better make sure you give everything tonight!

In-fiction, The Line has only two rules, but the larp has a full carefully designed system to allow us to create its story together. The easy-to-master bespoke rules are designed specifically to enable this particular story. All game mechanics and calibration techniques are practiced together in a workshop before the larp.

​

Characters are pre-written to create interesting conflicts. Over two thirds are mortal characters, many of these are ghouls, and all characters are connected to the vampire world. The vampires are all Camarilla and only a few clans are represented. All characters will have low power levels. Conflict resolution is fast, discreet and subtle, and happens without pausing play.

​

End of the Line will be quite physical and played in a what-you-see-is-what-you-get-style. This means the actions of the characters are acted out by the players. Players have the option to act out physical interaction in a slowed down manner and to simulate physical intimacy (always keeping their clothes on).

The powerful playstyle calibration system allows you to:

​

  • opt in and opt opt of any situation

  • to set your own boundaries in each interaction

  • to see each interaction coming so you can choose how to play it (no surprises!)

​

Please note: depending on the choices of your co-players and the layout of the venue, it is possible you might witness physical play such as partial nudity, kissing or face slapping, even though you choose to opt out of such actions yourself.

​

All interaction rules will be carefully practiced in the mandatory pre-larp workshop. In the workshop, we will:

  • get to know each other as players and as a player collective

  • practice new bespoke mechanics to simulate classic vampire content like blood drinking and supernatural abilities

  • learn and thoroughly practice the consent mechanics of the opt-in, opt-out playstyle calibration system

​

It is not possible to play the larp without participating in the full workshop. It is also very important that you are present for the beginning of the larp.

​

Tickets for End of the Line is only available for participants of World of Darkness Berlin.
