Welcome to the home of Figments of Your Imagination (FYI), makers of enjoyable, parlor-style live action role playing (LARP) scenarios. We hope you have a happy and safe Halloween 2023! 

Update (March 29, 2024): Spring is here, the birds are singing, and convention season is upon us once again -- Hurrah! Work continues on our next commercial LARP product, Conspiracy of Ravens, while we wait to receive the last of our playtesters' comments. As we mentioned in our product announcement last October, this LARP is a direct sequel to our first product, Carnival Arcane: The LARP . Note that you do not need to play Carnival Arcane to enjoy Conspiracy of Ravens, but we think you'll have more fun if you do. Watch this page for news of the release date before it goes live on DriveThruRPG.com.

What's Special About Our LARP Scenarios?

The FYI team has more than 45 years of combined experience writing and presenting LARP events for private groups and at conventions across the Midwest. We take pride in creating and running enjoyable, parlor-style LARPs that are full of surprising plots and unique twists, and we enjoy introducing players to the hobby. Our event runners are always happy to offer advice and guidance, and most of our events include roles for people who never played a LARP before.

Many of our current and planned published scenarios draw inspiration from the gothic horror soundtracks of Midnight Syndicate, which you hear playing every year at Halloween stores and haunted house attractions across the USA. Please visit MidnightSyndicate.com to hear sample tracks and discover why Midnight Syndicate is the Halloween industry's go-to source of quality background music.

If you want to introduce your friends and family to LARPing but can't bring them all to a convention, our pre-packaged LARP scenarios let you run an enjoyable and memorable event and contain almost everything you need, including but not limited to the following:

•    Historical information and context for the scenario

•    Informative character sheets and useful player handouts

•    Game Master (GM) summaries and reference sheets

•    Tips for advertising your event and attracting players

•    Suggestions for costuming, set decoration, and, occasionally, menus (for those who enjoy hosting) 

•    Advice and tips both for GMs and for new players

We strive to give great advice in all our products, but we recommend that you feel comfortable running LARPs (or at least table-top RPGs) before you try running one of our events.

Buy Carnival Arcane: The LARP at DriveThruRPG.com!

We intend to publish all of our Midnight Syndicate-inspired events. Our first product -- Carnival Arcane: The LARP -- is available at DriveThruRPG.com! This well-received LARP scenario is based on Midnight Syndicate's award-winning album, Carnival Arcane (used with permission). For more details, click here.
